Doesn't change the fact it does absolutely nothing apart from pose but I guess it is tradition.
This one doesn't have them: http://www.chevroletcamaro.info/images/1969-chevrolet-camaro-1.jpg

SEMA is more an aftermarket build show. Lots of the cars there look flashy and whatnot but they are all serious builds. Look at the Hennessey Venom GT or the Camaro that won the GT award for example, both are seriously expensive and powerful builds.

Exactly!
I'd have to compare it to graphics on a car. Why put the stripes and logos on? They don't increase performance, they usually only help make the car visually stimulating and identify it.
Those metal faux vents do everything the racing stripes on the hood do and nobody questions their spot on the car.
I'd like to point out that in most cases though, I AM against fake parts that imply performance. Most of the accessories in the Mustang parts shop anger me for this reason. The Camaro's "side scoops" are really not that offensive when compared to the Mustang's
I'd also like to point out that the GT-Award winning Camaro had them.

I'm not sure what you're on about. The modern Camaro just looks like a race car version of the Camaro... it has a roll cage, a paint job, a front splitter, skirts and rear wing (not a spoiler). The only non-functional additions compared to the road car is its rims and paint job. It doesn't have additional aesthetic trim or bodywork that I can see.
Here is a profile of the winning Camaro I found: http://www.lateral-g.net/members/stielow/
Looks pretty cool lots of power but setup to handle

Well sema is all about modifications and if that's all that car has done to it (body kit, paint and cage) then it's hardly surprising the older Camaro won then is it

You make it sound like the winners of each category are picked randomly. The SSX Camaro is a concept by GM on making a turn-key race car available to the public. The entire vehicle is made to be track ready AND the overall aesthetic appeal is well done, regardless of opinion. The Judges of the competition looked at the overall design and performance of the car and selected it as a finalist and winner of best Domestic.
The point is, you seem to be avoiding your own topic. You said that if you were a judge you'd mark down on something like the faux rear scoops, when I pointed out that they were on the GT-Award winning car, you completely change the subject, as if the whole package makes the appearance of the accent scoops irrelevant. Honestly, if SEMA and the GT Award competition were about overall customization, then the Red Camaro wouldn't have won, since it's essentially wheels a paint-job and a de-badge with a hell of a motor underneath.
The Red Camaro won because it was built by the God-father of the niche that the car fits in (that being "Pro-Touring"), the SSX was built by General Motors, a company that already has a line with PD and can put their cars in at anytime. By the way, if you want to slam the cosmetic design of any of the Camaro's, focus your attention on Tommy Z's ride as it's by FAR the worst offender of the three when it comes to the exterior.

Technically, both modern Camaros, and the Subaru (yet to see the Corolla and how modified it was) were already represented and would be easily added to the game. But think about the first GT Award winner, wasn't it a Buick? The same goes for the Art Morrison Corvette and the Trans-Cammer Mustang, all three were not vehicles that were already primarily in the game, so that isn't a decision making factor for Kaz.

This might be the Corolla we've been talking about. I've only seen this one and one other AE86 in all the pictures so far. The other one wasn't anything special.

Did you you read the comment above mine? I posted it to state Kaz has responded that it will be in GT6 and not GT5. I would have posted the same response to your "Maybe later on down the road via DLC" comment. Your statment implies you think it will be in GT5 more than my above post, with your maybe down the road, while I posted
It's probably too late for Gran Turismo 5, right?
Kaz- Right.
Just because I said sadly does not mean I expected it. Just that I would indeed enjoy it.
