Coop '04 - thanks for the pics. Looks sharp. I would have avoided orange like the plague. Would love the RX-8 to have the thrust that SS has.

I still haven't seen one on the road or at a dealership. We have like 3 Chevy close dealerships here in Austin, and everytime I get a chance to go to one of them, I call ahead just to find out they "sold the last one we had in stock".

I'm starting to wonder if they really exist or if this is some conspiracy against me. A lot of photoshopping going on or something...

I've seen about three of the new Camaros in the last week but until then I hadn't seen any.. But every time I see the rear of it it's like looking at a fat girl's ass. Not pretty.

By Vette like (independent) is exactly what I meant, it is 10000 times better than the solid axle's they have had in Camaros past. (I owned 3 Z28's prior to this) The handling is so much better than they have ever been..

No the salesman had nothing to do with it.

They really put alot of thought into this car

I will find some better pics, these were about 5 minutes after it came off the truck..

We need some better shots than that!!! Dimly lit garage camera phone pics FTL.

Let's just clarify. The Camaro's rear suspension doesn't have much similar to the Vette's other than its "independent"... a double wishbone transverse leaf spring suspension compared to a multi-link coil spring rear suspension.

I bet you heard that line from a salesman... AM I RIGHT? :D:

That is a damn fine looking car. Thank you for the better pics. I bet you're enjoying the "head turner" effect that car has. I would imagine a lot of people come up to look at it. Anything you don't like about it so far? I'm in the market, so to speak...

Thanks for the compliment. the "head turner effect" is incredible, most common comment "this is the first one I have seen, they do exist"

It is crazy, people gawking while turning not looking forward. People snapping pics at stop lights, or while driving on the freeway, kids getting all excited (because of Transformers I am sure) getting their unaware parents attention making them look.

Nothing dissapointing except where the seatbelt rubs on my neck, you can't adjust the top attatchment, I am fairly tall so it is too low, but I have gotten used to it. It's just in a different place than my other vehicle. That is the ONLY complaint. They did a really good job on this car, everything seems to have been really well planned and designed. I will tell you it was odd putting money down on a car that didn't exist and hoping for the best. It paid off in the end.

So far reading the message boards over all there haven't been any issues with it being a first run. My 2004 RX8 however, well you know the rest..

No I didn't there were none available to test drive, the orange parade cars they got were all Autos. I drove that one around the block about a month before mine got here.
