Default 09 Concept at Detroit GP

Ok I thought this was a pretty cool picture of this car. It is the yellow concept car, I'm sure there are plenty of pictures on here of it.

This was at the Chevy tent at Belle Isle where the Detroit GP was being held. By the way I went to practice day today, and the sports cars and especially the C6R's are just wicked in person. Those are mean sounding cars!

Anyway here is the pic:

yea im pretty sure thats the bumble bee prop, which means its a reskinned GTO. no way to tell for sure from this angle, but im not sure how many (if any) real camaro concepts were made in that color combo.

Yeah this car isn't "real". It had plastic rolors/calipers etc. Nonetheless, sweet car and color. I don't believe there is a prototype running around with that paint scheme.

They had one at the GM engineering center driving around with that paint and the silver one on display inside, they didn't display the bumble car for long, but they did have that one you took a picture of out to look at. The thing tha really got me was the Kodiak Transformers truck out there, that thing was so nasty!
