Default Camaro at state fair

I subscribed to chevy's newsletter and in the newsletter it said that the 2010 camaro will be at the texas state fair. http://www.bigtex.com/ is the website for the state fair dates, times, location can be found there. Just a heads up. I am looking forward to it!!!

They're unvailing it tonight at the fair. Apparently GM sent out special invites to Camaro enthusiasts. I was offered an invite but can't make it.

wouldnt exactly call it overkill. more like a good thing if you get sideswiped by a truck. your head will not be bashed into the side window or the vehicle hitting you.

I was there for the launch party. The new Camaro was escorted in by a Dallas PD 4th gen with the lights going. The new Camaro rolled in with the halos on. Looked pretty cool. You couldn't sit in it, but you could touch it and get up close.
