Reported on CAMARO5 HOMEPAGE.

So I,m staying with some friends in Coronado and when leaving their house tuesday morning I see three camaro,s in my mirror, 2 with camo fronts and a chase car following so I pulled over and snapped a couple pics, by the way they sounded really good.

I think I seen that before

SS-screamer 09-08-2010 07:42 PM

That looks like a monster hood scoop on it!!

By the way, what are the red things sticking out from the black back fascia?

FxsX24 09-08-2010 07:48 PM

sweet

flyer08 09-08-2010 07:57 PM

does that say 3.39 a gallon? thats expensive

thespymaster 09-08-2010 08:01 PM

Come on your holding back some photos, huh ?

Really great find on your part, shutterbug !!!!

Is that the INDY PACE CAR logos on the side?

3CamarosOnHand 09-08-2010 08:01 PM

The First one has a trailer hitch on it.:facepalm: Hopefully just to tie it down or run the test wheel , or you can get the boat to the water fast:laugh:

CynAgain 09-08-2010 08:03 PM

It's CA's gas.....I am surprise it's not $10/gal like the greenies would like to have it raised to (-: After 20 years of putting up with the crazies out there, I had enough.

Nice catch with the cars. Looks like these test mules were based on the pace cars? The rear tires didn't seem wide enough?

Txmxracer 09-08-2010 08:04 PM

That hood looks so mean!! Im so happy they changed it for the Z! :headbang:

SDCamaro10 09-08-2010 08:05 PM

AW!! I work on Coronado and drive down that SAME street EVERYDAY! and i missed this. damn my luck. :(

FINALLYSATISFIED 09-08-2010 08:09 PM

Nice catch...

arod55 09-08-2010 08:12 PM

Yes gas is expensive in Coronado, there only two gas station there. I drive five miles south in Imperial Beach and get gas for 2.89. I also missed the two Z-28'S. :chevy:

Spooker_Doodles 09-08-2010 08:13 PM

Why didn't you follow them and try and get some information out of them? You could have been an even bigger hero to everyone here.

chewy8 09-08-2010 08:15 PM

2010_5thgen 09-08-2010 08:26 PM

:coolpics: Thanks for pulling over and getting shots from all angles. That'll turn some curious heads.

SpeedDemon21 09-08-2010 08:42 PM

OMG, cant wait

2010 SSRS 09-08-2010 08:46 PM

while the gas is more expensive than im used to in ND (2.79 and hasnt budged in about 5 months) I guess I should have put up a sarcastic smiley. Thanks for the responses though

Great catch! Thanks for sharing!

3.39 GL , but in CA we use the IMPERIAL GALLON which is about 30% bigger than the US gallon , get it now?:mad0259::mad0259::mad0259::mad0259::mad0259:: mad0259:

bradshowG8 09-08-2010 10:15 PM

Thats weird. I was stationed in San Diego for the last 5 years and I've seen a bunch of "test" cars out there with the full on "tarp" get up. Wonder why they are always out there? Nice find and great timing

Revo1 09-08-2010 10:17 PM

I smell front page news...

2SSRS@Gen5diy 09-08-2010 10:28 PM

Nice find.

SDCamaro10 09-08-2010 10:30 PM

Im just curious as to WHY there were 2 in Coronado. Of all places, why would they bring them this far south you know? I can understand a little further north, where the desert and tracks are.. but unless they were just looking for some cool breezes and sunshine..:iono: yesterday a buddy of mine sent me a text, and i guess this kind of clarifies it. Says he saw a funky looking 5th gen driving around with a stamp on the door.

SuperFly03 09-08-2010 10:34 PM

Well done man.

Some no BS, non-photographer, joe blow taken pics on a random day.

They look like the test pics we've already seen which is good.

I like what I'm seeing.

OldJedi 09-08-2010 10:36 PM

Very nice spot & photos! What does/did the decals on the doors state? I tried enlarging but could not make out what they say.

meanmike 09-08-2010 10:47 PM

looks like the hood on the caddy and zr1. Ttey could do more with the rest of the car though.
