they are still the concepts.... but I sat in the back with two 6 footers in front, and I had plenty of room.

I'm not sure who is taller, Settlemire, or Tom Peters, but the both drove it with no problems.

We'll be able to discuss a few things. No specifics though, but we can touch on some of the general topics.

I will say this.... the folks on the Camaro team.... great people.... we are in VERY good hands.

Give us some time to digest everything... LOL.... it was a fast and furious 36 hours in Michigan.

It was an experience of a lifetime for sure.

Yeah it was a blast, I still can't believe I got to do that.

I'm in the same boat for saving money, I'm half tempted to sell my Camaro just to kick start savings for this car, I'm THAT excited about it!!
