Default Camaro concept

Anyone know if the silver concept camaro will be at the HRPT on 6-3? I thought I read this somewhere, but can't find a thing now.

looks awesome in person. I really love the interior too. At this point I'm thinking black but since its so hot down here, Im not sure if that would be a good idea.

I got to talk to the lead designer and some other guy that does the suspsension and chassis, we were hammering them with questions, lol.

Man, that thing does look even better in person. You just can't appreciate all the little details of the car from a picture. I wasn't a huge fan of the interior looking at the pics,but now I love it after seeing it in person. GM would really be foolish to not build it at this point. Its almost painful to wait everyday to hear if they'll build it or not.

Default Awesome

I saw it Saturday and Sunday at the G10 in Atlanta Memorial Day weekend. In short, wasn't a fan before I saw it...want to buy the first one after seeing it! Its big, real big, mean, muscle...hot! I like the way the windshield flows into the roof...smooth. Wheels are a bit large (22's) but not likely to be that big on production. GM did it right! GM has said they would be crazy not to build it, so look for it in 2008-9.

Saw it today at Gainesville Looks damn good, had the hood up and interior looks sweet with the retro gauges and console set-up like the 68-69 Camaros had.

GM, build this car!

black is the best looking color on a car,,,,,just makes them look sexy,,,,but black is a pain in the rear to keep clean,,,and you know if you bought a brand new black camaro you would dust it off every day

Not only did they pop the hood, but they had it running in Gainesville a couple of times. It's sounds like a typical ls motor, really quiet actually. The car does look great in person though. It's cool to watch them load and unload it each day.

The hood was up today in Columbia. I poked at one of the GM dudes there and asked him, "Hey, when is Chevy gonna build me one?" He replied back "Once you get the $$$$ up to buy one." I said back " Oh, that'll be no problem." Then dude informed me, "You can't buy this one , it's 4 million dollars." Dayumn!
