beautiful car, great lines, great colour.
i suspect the wheelbase is a bit shorter and narrower, more like the mustang.

That was my first choice!
There is a new Camaro SS that I see here at work the same color, and I just love it.

in the photo it looks almost like burnt orange, but to the eye it is a lighter orange. you can imagine it from looking at the edges of the body. but once she s out in the sun i ll get a better picture.
