Exclusive Camaro Concept test drive

I didn't realize the press got a crack at actually driving this Concept.

Re: Exclusive Camaro Concept test drive

This was interesting:
GM executives have told workers in at least two North American assembly plants -- Oshawa, Ontario, and Wilmington, Del. -- that they're in the running to build the Camaro.

Re: Exclusive Camaro Concept test drive

Well, those are the only two places we have heard for it to be built it, and Guy has been saying he thinks its Wilmington for a while now. I hope its Wilmington, not that I have a problem with Oshawa, but id like to see it built in the USofA again!

Re: Exclusive Camaro Concept test drive

Cool! Very cool!!!

First Lutz talking about the sales targets yesterday, then letting journalists even drive the concept. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but to me it sounds like something is going to happen soon.

Nevertheless, very cool!

I wish it had some Gen III stealth in it to prevent traffic radars from getting your speed

Re: Exclusive Camaro Concept test drive

Thanks for posting the article, Chris. It seems GM is inching further down the path to final approval. I didn't like the big wheels on the static show car, but they look great when the car is in motion! Seems the front end alignment includes a bit of negative camber, which imparts an aggressive look.

Re: Exclusive Camaro Concept test drive

It's so obvious they're gonna build it. Depending what gas prices up here do (it's 4.50 a gallon as is) I have to consider one.

Re: Exclusive Camaro Concept test drive

Anybody watch the video and notice the shot of the exhaust from the rear?

The pipes do not cross over each other like we saw in the leaked CAD from last year.

Yes, I'm a geek and will now return to my lurking.....
