I'm not a big muscle car fan but the concept camaro at least was pretty good looking at thee NYIAS. Hopefully they don't penny pinch and ruin it in the production car.

Is that a zebra on wheels?

Thank the Lord this one is from Holden - those guys are on their "A" game. The LS1 F-bodies from the US and Canada just had horrible build quality.

I agree with you on that one because the silver one a the N.Y. auto show was SICK!!!People were paying more attention to this car than the challenger across from it!!

The new Camaro is NOT from Holden. The new G8 is and thats the only thing from Holden that we're getting for the moment. The article just states that the test mules were using Holden bodies. Its typical when engineers are testing the drivetrain itself. Just like Nissan was testing the GT-R powertrain in Germany under the G35 coupe's body.

The G8 uses a new GM flatform that is I "think" is going to be used for some other upcoming GM cars. Such as this Camaro.

Yeah, the Zeta. The wheelbase on the platform is adjustable so its pretty flexible as to what can be built on it.
