Default for those who think its gonna be out sooner than 08

http://www.chevymall.com/shopping/pr...ProductID=4413

read the last sentence left. Gm has been leaving hints on production for a while. I dont see why people not from this site think it will be out in 07. Although, it would make one badass 40th anniversary.

The same people who think it'll be out in 08 are the ones who honestly, think it'll come with a dope *** forged LS7 with a supercharger stock, and only cost 23K.

With production mules just hitting the roads of Austrailia by Christmas, I don't see how it could be any sooner than what they've been telling us.

Kinda off topic, but why do I keep seeing the Camaro concept in different colors in all kinds of different media outlets. I saw a silver one in a rap video, but the original was red. And I see silver ones elsewhere. They must have a good couple handfuls of the concept out there as we speak.

GM unveiled the Red one (no drivetrain) at the LA show in late 2005/early 2006 & the Silver one (completely functional) was unveiled in January 2006 at the NAIAS in Detroit.

The upcoming Transformers movie will have a Yellow one in it (Bumblebee's character).

Werd.

I am sure they will severly limit the numbers on the first batch shipped to create hype, also.

I am completely see them shipping only V6's the first year. Or at least until half way through the 1st production year.

I seen the red one in person I don't see how they could drive it. also it looked to me like the side windows were one big window without a break in it for the door to open, like you would have to crawl under the window to get in but not sure on that one.
The silver one I have seen being driven but not in person.

notice the glass between the quarter glass and the door glass.
the silver one has molding and the red one has a black pinstripe and looks like a solid piece from quarter glass to door glass to me.
look at the light reflections on both pics the red one the reflection doesn't break like on the silver

ummmmm its obviously going to have the LS13 which has 850hp with factory twin turbo and a stock nitrous system, but no one has heard of it yet except for me cause the guy that takes care of my neighbor's dog buys crack from the same guy whos mom saw a chevy ad in the newspaper who said its basically in production. and in no way will dealers mark up the first units to arive 8 gagillion dollars. because they want us to get what we want without them making any profit whatsoever cause they really arn't in it for the money. haha

in all seriousness ill be stoked just to see them at dealers.

The video that one person mentioned was a T.I and Young Dro rap video. I saw it tonight and saw the car and was liek what the hell. They had nothgin but Chevy cars in the video so Im sure they have a connection with GM and Chevy. Lucky bastiches.

I was talking about this red one, not that bright red one. I'm having trouble finding the video, as it was a long LONG time ago.http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/uploa...onceptreal.jpg
