Default So... production starts today right?

Was just wondering if all was still on track for the production of the 2010 Camaro? I can't wait to see them start hitting the local dealerships and streets around here

I hope that more production models hit the streets for everyone to enjoy. I'm starting to see more Challengers on the road lately, so maybe the market is rebounding for musclecars etc. I'm ready for the enthusiast's to get to actual racing rather than bench/speculations. Too everyone that has ordered a Camaro hopefully your purchase will be here soon !!!!!!!

The first one was sold at Barrett-Jackson back in January, all the money goes to charity, so it wasn't a dealer markup. NASCAR owner Rick Hendrick bought it.

From here on, every March 16 will be known as Camaro day.

In the future, all muscle car enthusiasts, GM, Ford and Dodge alike will honor this day. Every March 16, enthusiasts will greet each other "Happy Camaro Day". Heres to oil changes, catless exhausts, CAI, and forced induction!

Hendrick did not buy the first car. He bought the second car.

Yup, Rick Hendrick bought the first one, VIN # 100001.
Lucky guy, and he drove it off the assembly line himself!



More pictures - AND VIDEO - from the first day of production at Oshawa:

Did you change your order? I thought you had ordered a Cyber Gray SS/RS?
