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 :cool:

I would assume it has already started.

I ran into a SS yesterday with a couple kids driving it pretty hard, I tried to keep up to snap a picture! Was in Brighton, Mi looked like regular plates on back..

:chug: 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!

Actually he bought the 1st and 2nd. Don't know where you got your info from.

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

Clearly he changed his order...caught my eye the other day. I like the new color combo. I am just glad they are offering a proper orange!!!

Octanez28 new color looks mint. But I can not believe you are having the factory charge you 500+ dollars for 30 dollars worth of vinyl

What the hell. They must have stared production sooner than they told us, or they just have 100 test cars lying around. That is the third photo I have seen featuring dozens of Camaro's

Those pics from last week of all the cars at the Oshawa lot are all Captured Test Fleet cars, not saleable production cars.
Sometime next week, the first trucks full of 2010 Camaros hits the road from Oshawa!!! :cool:
