I don't know if it's just the pictures or if it really does look worse than the current Camaro.

Well I think the tail lights look very wrong just looking at them on the Z/28 model but the front does not look half bad

Depends on your point of view, very few hood scoops/vents are pointless on all accounts, just not all are functional.

If functional was the only thing that makes a hood scoop not pointless, 99% of aftermarket hoods for any car (regardless of country of origin) would fall into that category.

In case you can't tell,

I love' hood scoops I cannot lie
You other drivers can't deny
That when a ride rolls in with some hood slits and fins
and some blacked out rims in your face
You get sprung.....


ugmm something like that

Thanks for the better images. I definitely like the front better.

If they had made the tails tri-color they could have claimed they were a modern take on the Gen-3, but yea, they aren't awful but not great as is.

Autoweek has an article up with more photos and some details on the Z28.

They've gone a different way with the Z28 in bringing it back. It's stripped down a bit for track use but retains street legal staus (no trunk carpet, thinner glass, A/C optional, single speaker sound system, amongst other items).

Oh and the hood scoop is functional. "The Z/28 aero package includes a heat extractor vent in the hood, large front splitter, extended rocker panels, large rear spoiler and diffuser."

The front end looks much better in those pics.

The z28 sounds like the new bow-tie enthusiast car. Looking forward to some road testing of it.

Thinner glass, no a/c, one speaker and only 100 lbs lighter than an SS. You are doing it wrong Chevy. You have all the ingredients for a world class performance car except the 4,000 lb weight.

That's a fine looking car, save for the Caprice taillights. However, there'll be no more of this "ZOMG tha c7 haz camero tail lights yo" nonsense. Shame you can't have all that yummy brake and wheel goodness on a car with a radio and A/C. Props to GM for building the damned thing though.

So, do we know that all 2014 will look like this, or is this just the Z28? Maybe I missed it somewhere that this is a model wide refresh.

All 2014s will have the updated grill, taillights, and larger rear diffuser area. The SS (at least) will have the heat extractor hood. I believe the splitter is Z28 bespoke. The spoiler looks to be a black painted ZL1/1LE spoiler. The quad exhaust is optional on the SS and 1LE, standard on the ZL1. The wheels are, AFAIK, Z28 bespoke.
