There is more info on the site than they commented on in that broadcast. Still no pricing, and no word on the Z-28

Here is the sales brochure.

The official engine specs are on the site, but other than that I wanted to know what the pricing would be.

I agree that this was a very weak webcast. They had more hype for the other car releases.

No. They pulled in an RS and didn't even show images of anything other than the exterior. Sure would have been nice to see the interior of the car or under the engine bay.

That sucked ***. I guess i am impatient. Good idea though because I am definately going to a dealership as soon as they hit the showroom due to lack of info given during the unveiling. And the more I think of it, this video was probably to further gage interest, but that doesn't make sense because they have already dumped money and time into this car. Even though I have already seen the camaro website and brochure, it still has all of the production model may vary crap plastered all over the place.

Very weak! No pricing, what about the LSA / Z28 rumor, we need more pics, I have yet to see a clear pic of the back seat / trunk area, I thought they were gonna release more on options, etc.

Trust me, i am dying for a Z-28, keeping the hope alive, now I am more anxious than BEFORE the webcast! Now watch more rumors run amok because nothing was said. Scott, is there any more info that can be revealed?!?!?

not looking good for the Z28 supercharged option....at least at first. I'll be holding my money until then.

Camaro5, 5th gen.org, and GMnext were all down for a bit due to traffic I bet.

Yeah, no real new information - just confirmations on what we pretty much new already.

However, that "Ignition" video on the Camaro homepage got me pretty excited! That thing sounds pretty pissed off! I like it!

So whats the deal is the RS the v6, the v8, or both? And whats the difference between it and the regular versions, and will there be 2 v8's or just a manual one and an auto? I thought this was going to have a ton more info than what was already revealed??
