the RS is another nod to the '69. it puts backup lights down on the lower rear bumper as they did on the 69's with the RS package. it moved them from within the taillights to down on the lower valance. in this case, its from the taillights to the bumper.

The designers feelings are gonna be hurt guy's,. he stated all along that it was not to be a 69 tribute car but a modern retro camaro. anyways, i still think it looks like a retro 69'ish camaro. I don't understand what you guys are seeing that you don't like.

All three are looking pretty good i think; Challenger, Mustang and Camaro.

oh well

Well I sure hope that $1200 bucks Pat just spent gave him more than relocated backup lights.   ;)

ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh i bow down to that collection right there. when the mustangs first came out i really wanted one as ford did a great tribute then i heard the camaro was coming back so i held off then i seen the pics and was open atfirst then the challenger comes out and camaro what....camaro who?....heheh i love the challenger but some people are die hard f body people i only like the 67-81 birds and 67-92 camaro's dont like the rest but thats just me and mustangs well i only liked them until 71ish and then 05 and up so its all on prefference i'd say but i like most challengers as well.
