Also here is a sweet video of the car driving. Hope it's not a repost.

looks like a mock-up to me. Look at the side, and last pic of the wheel....No Calipers! Maybe they will be fitting it w/ a body kit of some sort.

So this is how GM plans on marketing it to see if it will sell. Hopefully it won't just become a "HOT WHEELS" car. All I can say is though, if they use a Ford to make a Camaro and then turn and outsell the stang, that's gonna be a bitch slap to ford's face.

Well I think they just used a ford frame cause its more avilable then the new frame the Camaro will be built on.

Dur...Where are the brakes...? I'm assuming it's just a "look-at" car? Cause it doesn't look like it's going to be going anywhere without any brakes. A simple piece of plastic that happens to look like a rotor only gets those Hot Wheels cars so far.

heres many threads about this car on camaroz28.com

Its for the new Tranformers movie as mentioned above, but there is more than meets the eye (pun intended).

Scotts comments on it are vague. It could be a pre production model, that is actually built on its own chassis, not a Mustange chassis. The interior has been reworked, which could possibly be the new interior of the Camaro.

Oh well, all internet speculations though.

I doubt any of that is true. The reason there's a Saleen plate on it is probably because he was the one in charge of putting the Camaro body onto the Mustang frame.

You guys blow things way out of proportion. That isnt a mustang frame and saleen doesnt only mean mustang, its a specialty company like Lingenfelter did with corvette.
