WRONG, Corvette owners make the aftermod all the time. It does not require a new windshield.

This misconception comes from the early C5 corvettes with hud did have a special hud windshield. But they no longer require it.

We can just hope that Chevy uses the same dash for HUD and non HUD cars. They'll more than likely just put a cover over the hole (like they do corvette). Which makes the modification SUPER easy.

I'm more interested in where teh buttons are going to go.

It is not the same with the Synergy Green Metallic color code.

The production of the color should end on 10 April 2010 with the final production orders for the Synergy Edition models.


Synergy owners should write John Fitzpatrick at Chevrolet and share their disgust with this decision.

the Synergy

I'm sorry you feel this way, but if you go thru this site and many others, people (esp. enthusiasts) asked us to offer the color on other models. We're listening......just as we did when our enthusiasts asked us to offer IBM and ABM on the SS model.


We couldchange the paint formulation - but not easily. You might be shocked to find out how much it costs to introduce a new color.

As I said earlier in this post - when we make changes, we get many people happy and many people mad - that's the 'downside' of working on a legendary brand such as Camaro. It comes with the territory.

We DO hope you'll enjoy your new Synergy Green Camaro. (and for what it's worth - the 2011 will not have the synergy green panels in the doors/IP or the green stitching.

Scott, are you at liberty to discuss any price changes that may occur? This is crucial to my plight, as the wait is already killing me

[rayhawk]

Did they say anywhere whether the HUD will have a g-meter like in the Corvette? I hope so, that is pretty cool. And I am patiently waiting for pricing as well, I hope the HUD doesn't add too much to the cost of the 2SS.

No gear changes that people said the 11s would get

The limited editions will still have features not available on any other Camaro, so I don;t understand what all the crying about letting the Synergy green be on other models is all about... I understand that many that wanted just the color to be available on other models are now getting it, which is a good thing in my mind..

One question I asked you before, It seems there is alot of doubt on here whether the 2010 Camaro V6's have the same 312 HP the 2011's will have.. could you clear that up for us once and for all? Thanks a bunch for all you do for all the Camaro fans.

I will enjoy it inspite of the Synergy losing their uniqueness of the color.

I think Camaro people overall wanted a "green" and I know it is expensive to formulate paint colors, but if Chevrolet took a poll and ask "which green" would be preferred for a new Z28 or SS, in my opinon the majority would want it to be closer to what set the precedent for the marque and that would be the Rallye Green. Going to the Rallye Green would serve the Synergy owners to keep their Special Edition special and the Rally Green would provide the retro look on the modern platform. Now both sets of enthusiast win with what they want.

I am tried and true Chevrolet and have been for years, but because of the money I have invested in Chevrolet, I would like for it to honor its word to its patrons by making what it promotes and sells as a "Special Edition" special to the buyers by limiting production.

Here's my SNRGY below at the dealership - just took delivery about 2 hours ago!
Still have the '97 Tahoe, the '06 SSR, the '09 Corvette.
My daughter and son in law now have the '97 Suburban.
The '56 Nomad and '66 Suburban are now gone and are examples of a few of the project vehicles that were transformed into show winners. Not shown were my '65 Chevelle Malibu 2dr, '55 Chevy Bel Air 2dr post, or my '56 Sedan Delivery.

You know that "empty" space by the ignition, where people have been adding the Dash Plaques..................

Yes it is the same engine. Go back and read the original post. The very same engine in the 2010 was just certified for 312hp

[Revo1]

So when exactly is the first day to order 2011? How long before the Chevy website reflects the changes?

I know that is how I interpreted it, but there are some on here that are not so sure that is what it meant, I just wanted someone from high up to say it in terms that nobody could dispute.. like if He would just come on and post "Yes the 2010 V6 has the same 312 HP as the 2011's will have" then We can just point to that quote whenever someone asks...

Same here!

But I hope there is a DIY for the HUD, a way to take the factory HUD and integrate it into the 2010's shouldn't be too difficult... should it?

Why? it's probably going to be the same window that's in the 2010, if not just get a new windshield for the 2011 model and have it installed in your 2010. If this is a requirement I may hold off on getting mine replaced. until I know for sure

[tom_vilsack]

-the on paper added 8hp V6 thing is silly!
-looks like GM is trying to use up... to much extra bought green paint?
-hud is cool!


what would have been nice

-real extra hp...not on paper silly crap
-different colour's,and better paint quality

Hey everyone,
After viewing this forum since 2/09, I just joined this AM. Two reasons I'm posting here is I have been a lifelong Camaro enthusist even before I could drive and I just ordered a 10 IBM 2LT RS with gray cyber stripes!! I believe my hair loss has reversed and I lost 10 lbs since ordering....

I always wanted a 68 Camaro when I first got my license and ended up with a 71 Camaro and what a wonderful car that ended up being for me. I always have kicked myself about letting that go.

But now I'm getting a car that is truly something that I have dreamed of getting. Yes I could try to get a 68 Camaro....but I get all the current safety, higher mpg and power that is definitely right up there with my first Camaro and with all the modern conveniences.

Bottom line...way to go GM you hit a homerun on this design!! I see everyone's passion in getting every detail their way... but you really can't fault such a kick ass car. A huge corporation such as GM can't make all the changes in one year and can't please all the people all of the time. But on this 5th gen it has definitely pleased over 100,000 in one year and turned many more heads than one could count.
