Guys, this is a big deal!!! I just parked my car and came into work and they have media parking, Camaro (or any F-body parking), huge speaker towers. And at 11am will supposedly be the entrance of the 2008 Comcept car escorted by a police car. They are expecting over 5,000 people at this announcement!! If you are in the area, take your lunch break here!! Should be very cool.

QUICK! IS there a web feed???!?!?!?!?

Also, I just found from the news forum a link to a news article that possible production in Wilmington, Delaware, oh man, if that happens, Scott, you have to let me know if there will be a "First production car" party there!!!

Glad we got you. Thanks for coming out! It was pretty cool out there today.

Did any of you guys tour the Heritage Center? I have been there before and had to work so I did not make it. Just wondering how it was today.

The Heritage Center was awesome. Scott was there and was taking questions the whole time. It was nice to see some of my favorite old concepts again: Corvette Indy, Olds Aerotech, Firebird III, Buick Wildcat, 4th-gen inspired Chevy's Pacetruck. It was a great time.

I especially liked seeing that long convoy of Camaros coming in from the Rally!

(BTW, Scott said he personally favored "Z28" for the top of the line Camaro!!)
