Default Some *** driving through my neighbourhood...

has the 2010 camaro already! Paper plates, but I didn't see which dealership he got it from. It was silver with black racing stripes and I'm pretty sure it was an SS. Not sure how the lucky bastard has one already....

I didn't think they had even hit the dealers to be sold yet???? Sure it wasn't a Challenger?

Production hasn't even started yet, it couldn't have been a Camaro.

BS. If you saw one, it was a test car or one built for the show circuit. Nobody "owns" one yet.

I also call BS. If you DID see it, it would've most likely be the dealer driving it and the black rally stripes aren't even available from the factory, just the hockey stripes.

Call BS if you want, but I know what I saw. Whoever was driving it is irrelevant, because I clearly saw it facing towards me at the four way stop right outside of my neighbourhood. It had a silver body with black stripes going up through the hood. NOT hockey stripes.

Btw, the front looked IDENTICAL to what we've seen from the pictures, but the back looked a little different.

How do you confuse a challenger with a Camaro unless you're blind?

Are they really that different looking ? You mean to tell me they share no similarities what so ever? That a person that doesn't spend their time on an F-body or Dodge forum will tell them apart right now when one isn't in production yet and the other just came out.

Firebird = Z28.

I could get any dumb blonde and she could tell the difference, and these car's are similar, they're the same ******* car aside from a few panels.

He's not all that far from LA. Could have been a special order movie set car or something. I've read of other sightings. Christ... sounds like were talking about sasquatch or something.
