Default Official Camaro Appearance Thread!
Since the Mustang appearance thread went so well I thought we'd try the same thing for the Camaro. This time though I've included all generations going back to the beginning. Also note that it was almost impossible to find stock looking 1st and 2nd Gens (apparently everyone has torque thrust II's on their Camaros, LOL). Same rules apply, rank them in order by front end design, then back end design, and finally vote for your favorite overall in the poll. I predict a 1st Gen landslide


1st Gen:









2nd Gen:





2nd Gen Facelift:







3rd Gen:





3rd Gen Facelift:





4th Gen:

It's late so I'm going to bed but I'll put my choices up tomorrow. I'm sure you'll all be on pins and needles until then

It's the Second Gen Camaro 70 to 73. There is no contest. I've built all three Gens and the second is the best vehicle of the bunch.

Yea, looks are one thing. But, as a pure driver and build up there is only the Second Gen. The rest don't stand up. The second gen handles very well stock and you can add lots of power with OUT the vehicle breaking up. You add just a few STOCK trans am parts and get almost 1g on the skid pad.

For an all around HOT ROD-the Second Gen has no betters.

I've build all three, still no contest.

For me it goes:

Front:
1st
2nd
5th
4th Facelift
2nd Facelift
4th
3rd
3rd Facelift

Back:
1st
2nd
5th
4th Facelift
4th
2nd Facelift
3rd
3rd Facelift

Overall:
1st
2nd
5th
4th Facelift
2nd Facelift
4th
3rd
3rd Facelift

One thing that stood out at me compared to the Mustangs was how few Camaros I've actually liked in my lifetime(1982+). Before the 5th Gen the only one I really like the looks of is the 4th Gen Facelift SS like the one I owned. From 1979 on the Mustangs have definitely been better looking overall in my opinion. Now as far as performance, that's another story

To me though the new Camaro is the overall best looking one since the 2nd gen.
