Nice start, but could use more differentiation from the standard Camaro concept.

Too retro; not very original. I think the design would have evolved to another look; a more modern look, over the years.

I also think it's a good start. Could use some 427 badging.

Exactly!

GM was adamant in redesigning a new Camaro and not issuing a "retro" concept like Ford did with the GT. While some of the cues are evident in both the '69 and '08 models, they're really two totally different cars. I think the stripes look too vintage for a new car. I would like to see something modern. Try different fonts for the lettering or even a different side and hood graphic shape.

I agree with others. Too much like the '69 version.
It has to be better - now.....

This might be a good time for GM to try the Mopar Cuda
type fader stripes down the side of the car. An example
of this would be what the late, great Larry Shinoda came
up with for the Boss Shinoda graphics.

Unless Don Yenko is going to modify these Camaros, I do not think they should have any special YENKO striping/badging on them. (Yes, I know Don passed away several years ago) Without Don, it is not a Yenko Super Car.
