i was waiting to see the new interior -- supposedly 2012 was to receive a redesigned interior but this interior actually looks worse. i didn't think that was possible. is that a playstation controller on the dash or HVAC controls? classy (less)...

the basic Deluxe Mustang interior blows this out of the water

GM interiors are always sh*t. Even the Vette interior isn't worthy of the rest of the car.

And a true 302/z28 match-up would be one crazy sight to see. Id like to see dodge bring somethin out to where it can compete directly with these two powerhouses.
That Dodge would be a 'Cuda built on a lightened Challenger chassis with a more sporting suspension calibration...

And on the Camaro interior - especially can't get over the horrendous center console. Better be on their to-do list for 2012.

Guess they'll try almost anything to one-up the GT500 front to back.

IMO this thing kills the diaper wearing GT RAM 500 in the looks department anyday. Even with it's 6 lights upfront.

Just as boring looking as any other Camaro. That hood is kinda neat, I guess...

I'm not impressed.

Wheels look like they came off of a new Grand Cherokee, hood is a bit busy, and the front end is the same one we saw two years ago in Transformers. I wish they'd go with something other than a 5-spoke design on the wheels for the Camaro. I'm with Pete, this thing will probably have 575 or so hp when they spit out final numbers. They're just playing it safe right now and waiting to see what comes out in the next 6-9 months.

I'll make special mention of the interior. I'm not really sure what they're going for, but it looks like some spastic hackjob, and a half-*** attempt to mix in some Alcantara in the interior. The steering wheel is the only welcome change to that I see. The old one was TERRIBLE. I expected a set of Recaro seats as an option, like the CTS-V has, but again, GM went cheap on that, and failed to impress.

This car doesn't grab me the way the GT500 and SRT-8 do. It just looks old already...

Alot of people think the drivi... errr... fog lights in the grille of the GT look stupid. However We like them and they offer a very distinctive look to the Mustang. Its one of the few cars at night that is easily identifiable (and great fun when other drivers start flashing thier lights at you when they think your high beams are on )

Six lights on the ZL1 will do the same as far as being able to pick the car out at night, there will be no mistaking it.

Besides, seperating the flood and projector functions probably allows each light to do its job better.

Anyways, I'm interested in what final power numbers will be? I dont think it will be much beyond the CTS-V mill, unless GM has something planned like adapting the LSA to direct injection and/or replacing the pistons with forged units.

The lights up front are DRLs/fogs, like the old CTS had. These are just projector style now.
