yup, i agree. there isnt a factory camaro that has ever appealed to me. the best looking one is the early 90's SS. the white one with the orange stripes. dig that car a little bit.

otherwise, the CTS-V takes the cake on styline. IMO.

The Hennessey Business Model

Add some visual modifications, a few performance parts that aren't all that special, add a ridiculous premium.

Agreed. The current gen CTS and CTS-V is probably one of GM's top 5 best looking cars in their history.

Your opinion is your opinion. I disagree with it completely, but that's just me.

I find the 1st gen Camaros to be very attractive and are in fact my favorite of them, especially the '69s.


2nd and 3rd gens aren't my thing but I do like the 4th gens as well.

I think that's an exaggeration. The Big Three had it going on back in the day...up until about the mid 70's of course. I can't even begin to list how many attractive American cars were made up until then. And from then on, even though the majority of designs went down the toilet, there were still a handful of attractive ones left. Cadillac's designs as of late have been very impressive.

Anyways, what Hennessey has done with this one is neat, but even if I had the money I'd be a bit skeptical to buy one due to their image as of late. And even then, I'd just go for a ZR1 instead.

But one new Camaro I would buy if I had the money would have to be the COPO concept. I hope they make those.

The silver one is of the concepts. Needs to lose the crazy side mirrors, and gain a spoiler similar to the classic.

But overall, this picture:

Down in Gaithersburg Maryland, there's a car dealer, supposedly best deals on the east coast and last time I went there, 4 weeks ago, the ZR1 was marked up to 171,000. I asked why and they said they were one of the few that had one on the east coast.
