In my opinion, it looks like they tried too hard to make it work.

IMO, the Camaro is a bit overstyled from the factory. SMS's offering doesn't help in that regard, again IMO.

Always good to see what the other guy is doing.

In any event, I'm waiting to see how the Brand-X faithful respond. Saleen has a pretty strong identity with Ford and for some reason some Camaro guys want the regular production car to remain "exclusive" (all the while trumpeting the fact that the F5 has outsold Mustang for the time its been in production

)

I had been a fan of SMS's new design language, but this isn't their best effort. Too many horizontal elements on the front, and the red ports on the hood are just silly.

+1 more on those red "ports" looking ridiculous/wrong. Other than that, it looks OK. Maybe. You think SMS has a brake package option that doesn't require "dampers" or weights?

I like it though I must agree on the ports. Should be brushed aluminum or black.

I sure hope the fit and finish is much improved over their 570X Challenger.

Just look at the hood, front and rear fascias! I would expect much, much more out of a $60-$70,000 car!

Speaking of which, wasn't SMS supposed to officially unveil their Mustang at the Detroit Auto Show? It seems the only venue they've actually shown a Mustang at was SEMA, at that was a pretty pathetic attempt, IMO, to steal some of Saleen Performance Vehicle's thunder. The new Saleen S281 is far more impressive than anything SMS has shown thus far, IMO.
