I got a good ride in a 2010 Camaro SLP ZL575. Holy crap, fun 🙂

What dealer doesn’t drive demos? I sure as hell would. That interior is pretty uncommon but looks pretty sweet in black, silver ice, and imperial blue.

It was a V6 color and package option for 2010 but they have opened it up to all trims and engines for 2011:

Has anyone rotozip’d the gills on the rear and added some tubing to make the gills functional?  
Or bondo them flush?

On black it does not seem to bother me as much as the other colors

It appears that people don’t want to open that interior camber to the elements which I can understand due to the minimal benefits. But then I go back to why do they have them at all?

And yes I know they had them in 69’ but I still don’t like the non-funtional gills. Reminds me of the mustang hood scoop.

The perks of owning your own dealership. Hey we don’t complain that you get to drive the UPS trucks around.

So, I saw one of these in silver that was lowered with what looked like Shelby cobra wheels on it in a 19 or 20"  
so damn sexy.

those gills are literally the only thing on the entire car I don’t like, not a bad idea but that steel is paper thin and if you cut into it you need to add some structure behind it

They weren’t functional in 69 either. It was for looks. They carried over some of the desogn styles from 69 and that was one of them.

Like I mentioned before, the orange convertible concept they had in the Ren Cen lobby appeared to have functional gills.  
Doubt they make it to production but one can hope.

Edit:

 ![http://image.motortrend.com/f/9516606+w750/112_news070104_01z+chevrolet_camaro_convertible_concept+left_front_view.jpg](http://image.motortrend.com/f/9516606+w750/112_news070104_01z+chevrolet_camaro_convertible_concept+left_front_view.jpg)

I guess I wouldn’t mind the gills as much if they were not body color. Even the matte black decals look better.
