The interior is pretty good actually, in a way it's retro, but still have a touch of modern feel.

3700 lbs, but at least they gave it a potent V6 for the base model. Not to mention all independent suspension.
As long as the top of the line model is under $40k, this car will be a winner.
The RS model or whatever the base V8 model is, needs to be under $30k out the door.

Photos or computer renderings?
They look like computer renderings to me.
Still nice though.
The opening of the hood is held back from the front leading lip edge, interesting.

SS 'Ring time: ~8:20
...if you're pedantic enough to be interested.

SS enjoys essentially the software from the Corvette's magnificent Active Handling system that we insist remains the world standard in performance-oriented stability control. The Camaro SS stability control will have a track mode, a performance mode and a setting that fully disables stability and traction control. Stability/traction control for all Camaros can be fully disabled, but Camaro SSs with the six-speed manual also get a launch control feature.

Looks nice, depending on how adjustable it is from the factory (camber and the like) it could be a decent AutoX car, if a bit on the heavy side. I wonder where the SCCA will class this...

It bothers me that despite this news being out for a while now that Road and Track managed to get it wrong in their most recent issue. They say the Camaro comes in two trim levels, RS and SS . . . yeaa, not sure how they messed that up.
I'm really happy with how the car turned out. Most of the "Corvette spice" and other things that bothered me in the concept did not make it to production. I am, however, dissappointed in the weight. I was hoping for more of a 3550 number. Oh well, one can atleast do some weight trimming on his own.
