It has awesome looks. As for performance, looks like in straight line it will be a really fast car, maybe a nice contender for the new RS4 even though they are in different categories. Would like to see how will it perform at the track...the Nurbur perhaps? :rs4addict


Cheers

All old American Muscle cars look alike to you guys!:D Kinda like how all old MG/ Austins look alike to me.:p

I like it. Totally retro, but I totally like it. Mercedes E class platform, 425hp engine, rear wheel drive, 6 speed manual... old school looks... $40K sticker. Nice!:0:

I will stand by what I said, i'm mostly talking abot the rear 3/4, the rear flanks etc. The nose is a liitle wider, more challenger/charger esque.

I love Camaros, just recently sold my modified '96 LT4 Z28 and if this new one will go into production w. 400 hp. LS2, it would be nr.1 on my wish list.

Me too. Never considered myself a huge American car fan. Some old muscle cars, current Viper, Corvette being exceptions, but yep, that Camaro is very nice.

Didn't think too much of the retro before, but these cars are looking good!
