i like everything, except for the rims. also i refuse to belive that the firebird is dead! long live the bird! :D

IMO, thoes are the best looking rims Chevy has put on the Camaro since the ZR1. Right now, Dodge is dominating the wheel design.
I wonder if it will share the bolt patter with the Vette or with the CTS or even the CTS-V??

thos rims look too pointy and i think are way too shiny...

DITCH THE GTO! BRING BACK THE FIREBIRD!

also why would/did they decide on only bringing back just the 'maro? i would think TAs would sell better then SS's, theyre sexier...

TA's sold about half of what SS's did. And if you want to get real crazy with it, GTO sold more this year then the SS and TA models did in 2002.

it's a shame more people don't share your opinion, or you just might have a firebird/formula/TA in the mix. funny thing is, sales didn't reflect them being sexier.

every f-body forum is talking about this to some degree. cz28 and gmi are the more heavily trafficked sites with the loudest (and less intelligible) mouths. sure, you're not going to please everyone, but if anyone says it's "ghey" or "it looks like ass", i'll request that justin drops the axe.

the thing is, criticism* is a great thing, but you should be cognizant of the number of people who worked on this and how long it took them. you certainly wouldn't want someone to walk in off the street to where you work and tell you that your work is "ghey" or "it looks like ass".

just saying you don't like it doesn't cover it, either. while i am sure we will not be the forefront of opinion, know that "the powers that be" get around to the different f-body forums to gauge interest. if they stop here, i wouldn't want them seeing those type of insults or the "i don't like it" without an explanation. tell why you don't like it. tell what you would do instead of whatever it is that rubs you the wrong way. in other words, try to be constructive.

I like the interior drawings, I like the CADS design, but I'm not really liking the over-all concept look of it. Guess we will have to wait till next month; right Al?


Yeah...

Other problem was a T/A cost quite a bit more then the SS. A firehawk in 02 could run you $38,000 and you could snatch up an SS for $5-$7K Less. However collectability wise if you socred one of the Hawks I think they made something like 1100 Firehawks (correct me if I am wrong but I don't have time to look it up) and 10,000+ SS's

Exactly....Scott said that himself on CamaroZ28.com. If you don't like what you see, feel free to say so. But don't forget to say why you don't like it, and put forth your idea(s) of how to make it better. And do it in a respectful manner.
