Don't get too excited.  I can tell you from personal experience that 
vettes have no problem showing up on police radar.  The radiator is 
tilted back so it'll fit way up in the nose.  Most of the radar 
profile comes from the block, the wheels, and the headlights.  Are 
camaros fiberglass these days?

I always thought the ultimate stealth car/situation would be a ZR-1 
vette, painted black, dark tinted windows, headlights replaced with 
infrared lamps, driver wearing night vision goggles, driving 180 mph 
in the dead of night with no visible lights.  Cop would report that 
one as a UFO!  :-)
