there, now i can actually see what you did... it does look nicer like that, i agree.
I do, however, think it will look a lot nicer with smaller rims. Please, were not competing for the dub foundation here.

Im sorry but Adric have you been doing any reading on the car? Or have u seen the video or the interview with bob lutz? The biggy rims are not gona stay...duh? As for it being fat I dont know what ur lookin at the car is small and in perfect shape. Its shorter...smaller then a 4th gen. A 4th gen is actually by looks wider and longer as well proven. As far as the engine goes....Quote "We are ready to up the Z06 by 100hp if needed" That was said because the Challenger has 35 more hp then the camaro so hint hint? 400hp is just a current say and the car WILL have much more as a LS7 is looking to be very possible.
My advice to most is to keep reading on camaroz28.com they keep everything up to date on whats going on and all new info on it from GM.

Have you seen the Challenger? Talk about unproportional and bulky. Hell, even weighs as much as it looks too, 4000+ lbs.
In any case, I hate to say it, but welcome to the minority opinion. The Camaro so far has been a home run, and you're in the margin of very few that are so against it.

Being in the minority opinion is no biggie to me. Hell, my favorite f-bodies are some of the least favorites.

Well, in one aspect I like the 5th gen the way it is, in another I like the way Adric made it look. It does look a little bulky to me in some angles, and when I watched the unveiling it looked boxey at first sight. I like it, and at the same time I see a few things that could use changing. Its going to need to grow on me, and I as another will need to see it in person to judge it.
As for speed, they arent going to make it as fast as a corvette, or faster. I can prettymuch promise you that because the corvette is GMs prize car, its always been Chevys legacy, and they wont let the camaro take its light.
I do think it looks better with smaller rim size also, it definitly lets my eyes focus on the car, and not the wheels.
The only 2 things that really bug me are the front, and the interior. I dont like the guage placement, because I would probably crash into a wall at 80 while checking my gas. Theres just somthing about the hood also that I cant put my finger on. Maybe its the size of the scoop at the front of the cowl, just somthing looks odd to me.
The back end looks badass, and it looks sharp as hell. It has a mean muscle look to it, and I really like that
