Just got word that Camaro Marketing Manager John Fitzpatrick will be in studio with us to record the next CamaroZ28.Com Podcast! We know that people have a lot of specific questions for him right now with the release of the Camaro, so if you have question for him, please post your question by replying here in this thread for by midnight, Friday May 8. We'll pick some of the best ones (or at least the ones we know he can comment on) and throw them at him and hopefully, he can help get you some answers on the next show release!

PLEASE READ BEFORE REPLYING

• Please be as brief and to the point as possible with your question. Too lengthy or complicated of a question and we can't use it
• One question per person only
• No e-mailed questions, no call-in questions, they need to be posted in this thread (yes, we know this is out of the ordinary for our show, but this is how we need to do it to keep track of them)
• Check and see if the question was already posted in this thread and please don't duplicate it

Sorry, but we need to do this for the sake of time constraints on the show or the next episode will be an hour long because this episode will be BIG! Why? Because we need to double up the episode with Pete from Pedders from this thread! We may have to split this next episode up into two releases for this one, it is going to be GOOD and BIG!!!

So get your questions posted while you can!

 

What is his recommendation for buyers who want to buy a new Camaro but refuse to give in to excessive dealer markups?

 

Have they considered doing a modern remake of the original Camaro "Volcano" commercial?

 

I would like to know if GM plans on Having a supercharger package available that would still retain you 5 year 100k.

 

What is REALLY going on with the cars that have been held in a "quality hold" since SORP?

 

I would first like to thank John for his personal attention he has offered many of us who read this board.

Then I would nail him with this question,...


Why didn't one of the largest, Central VA Chevy Dealers receive their V6 car on time for the May 6th Ho-down? Also, that same dealer has yet to receive car 1 of their sold cars, even though many Higher VIN #'s have been delivered to other dealers.

 

The Camaro has been included in some recent Chevy ads. Does GM plan to make some commercials were the Camaro is the feature vehicle/only vehicle?
Thanks!

 

Ask him if he's going to promote the SEMA cars in the dealership. Instead of digging up each part number for the components to make a replica of the SEMA car, I think it would be neat if you could walk up to the Parts counter, ask for say the Camaro Black kit and they would provide a printout of all the separate components that the car is comprised of, yet you could just order it all under one part number. Not only could this help out someone who just has to have a copy of a SEMA car for themselves, this could bring in extra revenue for the dealer if the dealer did all the installations.

 

i would like to ask why they did not do first come first sevre on production
it makes sense to keep custumers happy right
i have been waighting since 10-13-08 and still not even a welcome package
my buddy ordered 3-08-09 got his package

by the way still at 1100 event level not happy
really thing of a challenger for 8 grand less true employee price

i have a 2005 gto that when it came time for warrenty work they declined because it was drove aggressive (thats bs it a proclaimed performace car for god sake)

not to much on the the band wagon
at least its not my suzuki xl7 pos lemon law

 

Does management have a "good idea" of when the convertible will begin production and will preorders be taken before the beginning of assembly date?

 

I doubt they want another preorder fiasco on their hands. Then the vert guys will expect them to stop the line until all the pre-order verts are made. What a mess.

 

Can you ask if the Government Motors is gowning too ship the car on hold this week.

 

Is there anything we can do to influence/push through the Z28 that is reported to have been engineered and is just waiting for the green light from the board?

 

What's goin' on with that battery cable recall? Is it a super serious problem?

Also, why did it take so long to get the car from manufacturer to dealership? Maybe this is normal time, it just seemed long.

Thanks!!
