Default TRANSFORMERS MOVIE! new CAMARO!!

First off let me say WOW, It surprised me, the movie was awesome if you enjoy action flicks. I think its the best action flick this year so far and if you have any desire for the new Camaro, this movie will make you lust after it amymore. The "Bumbler Bee" yellow/ black 2009 camaro is in the movie alot more than I thought, and it keeps looking better everytime I see it. I wasnt going to see the movie until I saw the HBO first look a few days ago and decided it could be worth watching. I was glad I went. Good FLICK!

I am for sure going to be a proud owner of the new Camaro!!!

X2 Bro! Phenomenal movie! Really well done. I've already registered at my local dealership for their waiting list. What color are you thinking? I'm thinking black.

Yeah the movie blew me away!

As far as the car, I will either go with orange or black. If they'll make orange.

Why, although I would be major IFFY about a Shelby Camaro 09 I bet it would be worth a fortune in a few year. Sure would **** off the stang owners

I would rather have a 09 Yenko Camaro ooo chills

I thought it was Saleen that made the Camaro for the movie. Also I am pretty sure the black mustang was also made by Saleen. From what I understand Ford would not allow them to use there Mustang so Saleen let them use the Saleen mustang.



Edit: Yeah it was Saleen-





Here is an interview with Saleen and Car Crazy:
Car Crazy: Are you going to bump up the horsepower on your Saleen Mustang cars when Ford adds horsepower in 2009?
Steve Saleen: Yes we are, I just talked to Alan Mulally (Ford Motor Co. Chief Executive) about the 2009 facelift year and what kind of added power the GT and Cobra will get.
CC: What kind of added power did he talk about for the 09 model year?
Saleen: Nothing extreme, it's only a facelift year, but enough to make my current engine upgrades obsolete. They're aiming for 350 horsepower out of the V8 in the GT, and they're only adding about ten or fifteen horsepower to the GT500.
CC: Can you give us an idea of what you'll do to for your Saleen models?
Saleen: We don't know yet exactly, but we've had many meetings on what we want. We're aiming to get around 385 horsepower out of the S281 3 Valve with around 390 lb-ft of torque. The S281 Supercharged model will get 500 horses even with around 460 lb-ft of torque, and expect about a fifteen horsepower increase on the (S281) Extreme Mustang over the 2007 model (that's 565 horsepower and 535 lb-ft of torque).
CC: That's a big power increase on all cars, are the prices going to change?
Saleen: Not counting inflation, the prices should stay the same.
CC: Are the rumors of you teaming up with GM true or false?
Saleen: My team just worked with GM last month on the Transformers movie. We had such a good relationship with them that we are infact going to team up with them on future projects?
CC: What future projects?
Saleen: Well the Camaro project is one of them, I've watched from a distance while they've been putting the production model together. I think it would be foolish on our part if we didn't get a part of that action (Steve laughs).
CC: So are you going to do your own versions of the new Camaro?
Saleen: It's not legally official right now, but that's what we're hoping for.
CC: What kind of upgrades will you make, have you seen the engine GM is using in the Camaro?
Saleen: I hope I don't get in trouble with GM for saying this, but they're using a 6.2 liter 450 horsepower engine for the premium V8 in the 2009 Camaro and the base Corvette. The base V8 will probably be a detuned version of the same 6.2. So we'll just upgrade the 6.2 liter V8 to Saleen level specifications. We're going to upgrade the 6.2 liter V8 if we're given the legal chance by GM. Our base model should have around 485 horsepower, and expect our Extreme Supercharged Camaro to have over 600 horsepower.

The Bumble Bee Camaro is simply gorgeous in person. And the Transformers movie was simply spectacular!

Yep, Steve Saleen made the Camaro and it WAS a Saleen cop car. Yet the movie was a hot GM commercial...go figure. It will be a heavy s.o.b. though.
