There is also a white one in the window at the corner of King Gorges Road and Stony creek road But I was talking about the last pic with all five generations the Camaro's in one shot.

Even tho my silver Z is lowered 2", the GEN 5 alongside is still quite bulky like other recent retros, (Chrysler 300, Mustang and latest Challenger/Charger series). Despite this the 6.2 looks shoehorned and like a lot of modern V8s, side working access has been carefully eliminated. Drop a ten cent down there and it aint comin out underneath! It does have some unique options including some form of 'drag mode' that locks in 3 grand and auto selects traction lock. Press 'launch' and you get a visceral 0-100 in 4 secs! We should organise similar chronological pix of other multiple marks, i.e. Mustang, Corvette, Challenger, etc. Chris, still need that front end work, no hurry, but sometime in July if you have 'hangar' space? Anybody know how much Autostyle are asking for their GEN5? Cheers Bob S.
