Therefore, those are most likely hubcaps all the way around, just as was mentioned by someone else. That was my only point.

1. The concept cost mega dollars to make. If GM made another one it would have been on the show ciruit and they for damn sure wouldn't loan it out to a movie company.
2. The dimensions on the roofline are even lower than the concept. We pretty much know the production roofline will have to be taller than the concept.
3. The wheels look completely different than the concept...shallower and smaller tires too. Something doesn't look right, particularly with the fake rear rotor. That's definitely not production or even pre-production.
My guess is that somehow GM agreed to let Saleen use the molds they used for the silver and red concepts to create body panels to fit over an existing chassis to build this car.
Why else would Saleen be involved if not creating this car from nothing?
Its still extremely good news that GM wants this car in the movie.

???
Why would they waste the time putting a 5th gen interior into a Mustang???
If it is going to be used in the movie, they will need multiple copies as well. One is not going to do it, so it may be built on donor cars after all.
I am hoping for a secret Camaro plant though.

Re: CJMATT did see the new camaro!!!
ok i dont know any facts about why this car has saleen plates on it or what part it will play in the Transformers movie.. i can just tell you all that if my memory serves me correctly it was saleen that built the tube chassis and made fiberglass molds of the concept Cobra that was used in the movie XXX State of the Union .... i saw it on a special on tv but that was a long time ago .. so i cant remember the details.... i would imagine that this is probly the same kind of deal.....
and weather or not this camaro is bumble bee or any other transformer...... this movie is gonna rock.... the first time i get to see anyone of them transform specially Optimus Prime.... i will probly **** myself and scream like a school girl....
and everyone needs to Remember the Transformer Slogan Transformers More than Meets the Eye (maybe that applys to that yellow concept Camaro TOO
)

Re: CJMATT did see the new camaro!!!
Mirrors are identical to the concepts. It seemed as though everyone here said the mirrors would have to be changed up for the production version. Why have a full interior and whatnot and still have the concept's mirrors? 
Headlights are normal, as opposed to the concepts, that is.
