You read about them earlier (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/03/sema-preview-chevrolet-debuts-quartet-of-custom-camaros/), but GM pulled out every joker it had in the Camaro deck today. One of them was bathed in yellow (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/sema-2008-camaro-concepts-live/1134880/) and filled with a host of GM Accessories options, like contrasting side sills and front spoiler, the hockey stick stripe package, and 21-inch wheels in machined aluminum with black accents. One thing we realized when getting up close and personal is that the inside of the Camaro is as dark as a coffin. It might not be a bad idea to splurge for the interior lighting package if you want to see who's in the car with you.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/semacamaroconcepts---38_opt.jpgThe Dale Jr. Camaro (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/sema-2008-camaro-concepts-live/1134914/) is something old and something new, with a biofuel V8 that's been tweaked for a little more horsepower, and the monster is shifted with a Hurst short-throw. Outside, gray-over-white goes will all sorts of stripes and emblems, whereas inside the car is black with orange stitching and gets a nice set of white center console gauges. And that ducktail dovetail spoiler? Straight out of '69. The car should come with an 8-track of Bryan Adams' Greatest Hits, which probably wouldn't sound too bad on the Boston Acoustics system.

The blacked-out gloss exterior offset by a matte hood go perfectly with the red halo rings around the headlights. Frankly, we'd lower it even more over the 21-inch wheels, but we wouldn't touch the black interior with red interior lighting. We didn't expect GM to put the 6-cylinder in it, but based on the sound it made rolling by, it's not a problem. The Camaro got its first star turn in Transformers, and if Hollywood ever decides to remake The Car (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075809/), this one is the star. Until then, you can check out the gallery of high-res photos below.
