Default Camaro to be officially unveiled 9/19/08

General Motors, Chevrolet Division and the Central Indiana Camaro Club would like to announce an exciting new development in the Camaro world. We have now been authorized to release information that the new production Camaros will be in attendance and unveiled at the Indy 08, Back at the Brickyard Event in September. The car will be unveiled at the event and many different models/engine combos will be available for the general public to review. Expect to see many different color combinations as well.

The 'Back at the Brickyard' Event will be happening in Indianapolis Indiana from September 19-21, 2008 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Hundreds of Camaros, Firebirds, and Pace Car owners will be in attendance to celebrate the unveiling and enjoy this historic event. GM Dignitaries will be in attendance as well to discuss the design, engineering, marketing, and accessories for this new model of Camaro. Vendors will also be on hand displaying their products.

For more information on this event, please visit

We look forward to seeing everyone there!!

NICE!!! Finally closure for all the questions, and a factual source for info to stifle all the rumors that are driving me nuts.

You mean to ******* tell me they are going to have multiple offical cars PUT TOGETHER and ON SHOW in FOUR months, but we STILL do NOT have the BASIC info on this car? I'm guessing they know (and have known for some time) what the specs are going to be, but just aren't saying. And that i don't agree with.

Thatnks GM. You make it real ******* hard to fight the good fight. We dont even know what we're fighting for or if its worth it.

Hahaha it has been said by a member or two that the brochures have been printed for a while, they took a peek and saw true specs. They are just not at liberty to disclose any details.

They did however say that we would be pleasently surprised.

like this is a surprise? iv'e been tellin people for months that i was going to indy in september for the "grandaddy of camaro" shows and they were gonna unveil the new camaro and release its specs. why else would they plan this huge event for 6 months before production begins? i am stoked, i get all giddy when i think of what it is going to be like. to be able to go to that is a once in a lifetime thing for me, and i am so excited its almost scary.

It was rumored for a while that that will be the official unveiling. Still too long away. They should give us specs now and unveil it later.

Damn, still a 4 month wait for the specs/final appearance/pricing. I'm so sick of waiting.

Well, if I don't like what they unveil then I guess I'm buying a C6 on 9/22/08.
