The Camaro Club (UK)

Hi i am a final year student at Coventry University studying Automotive Design and am in love with the Camaro especially 1st and 2nd gen.

I don't own one yet but will in the near future i need your help as I am going to design the Camaro of the future 9th gen (2040).

I would like as much information and opinion as possible on what makes the Camaro such an iconic vehicle and what you think would improve the vehicle visually, mechanically and ergonomically and why.

Also i am currently building a 3d computer model of one vehicle from each of the generations i currently have a 1968 Z28 and am working on a 1971 SS but i need orthographic views (top, front, back and side) of a 3rd and 4th gen Camaro any model is fine (just let me know what model it is) if you have any possibly in a haynes manual.

I would appreciate is massively and post pictures and animated videos of it once is it completed along with pictures and videos of my design for the 9th generation.

Thank you very much and i hope to here from you soon

There's side and front views here if that's any help:
http://www.thirdgen.org/1982z28-e-automoto-november1982

That's brilliant exactly what I was looking for thank you very much
if theres anything else i would be very grateful

There's a lot of other articles on Thirdgen.org under mutlimedia in the menu at the side, the site seems to be down at the moment though.

Camaro source is very good as well, covers all generations too:

I look forward to seeing the results

Hi
please find some studio shots of Butch

Sorry guys but in my opinion the best Camaro shape has got to be Gen 1!

hope this helps you
I seem to remember writing an article about the future shape of the Camaro in about 2000-- which should be accessable somewhere on the website main
seemed remarkably prescient (in the light of subsequent developments with the Gen6)

Hi
I found the article you should be looking for

It is in the articles section of CCCUK under the heading:
"Future of the Camaro"

It might offend some- the points are still true- and at least GM acted upon it!!

Thank you so much for all of your help so far in finding those pictures
and that great article all will come in very handy.


If anybody fancies posting their opinion of their favourite or least favourite generation of Camaro and why
that would also be great maybe get a little debate going.

Thanks again

Nah, 1st gens rule period!! that's why GM styled the 5th gen after one only very young people, that don't know about their cars roots & heritage would make such a statement. 1st gens are THE original GM muscle car, all the others are pretenders to the crown

cheers...Nige

(all very much tongue in cheek )
