If the new ones turn out good, who knows?
As far as I know the first gen camaros never had that rep, it was the cheesy versions they put out in the 1970s and 1980s. The original camaros were awesome. I watched the video and the exhaust note from that car is 100% pure muscle car - old school style. The body style still makes me cringe though - with the wedge nose and the body lines that look really forced. It doesn't flow nicely like a 1969. I'm really disappointed that they're claiming the production version will be almost identical to the concept, they need to take that car back to the design studio and give it a major overhaul to bring it in line with a '69. Hopefully someone does this before it hits the street in numbers.
