It's impossible to top the original, unless a fleet of 6th gen camaros rise out of the ground..

Two words: holy grail, not "hollygrail".

The Holy Grail was the 'Cup of Christ', allegedly used by Christ at the Last Supper. Part of Arthurian (King Arthur's) legend. It was used by Joseph of Arimathea, according to the legend, to catch the blood of Christ after His crucifixion. Typically depicted as a Chalice. Arthurian legend is convoluted. King Arthur's Knights supposedly went on a Quest to recover this holy relic.

Expressed as "holy grail", it is used to mean an object much sought after or difficult to obtain.

If you collect cars, for example, there's a 1970 Hemi 'Cuda making the news recently, with less than 100 original miles and in prisitne condition that is projected to fetch over 600K dollars at auction. That car is a "holy grail" car: an "impossible to find" example.

If you collect forearms, the Batte M1A1 is another "holy grail".

To a baseball pitcher, a 'perfect game' is a holy grail.

Used in the OP's context, 'holy grail' is, sorry to say, used out of it's expected meaning.

Actually, if you collect forearms, Popeye is the Holy Grail.

I thought the Camaro unveiling was 16May....not the 15th.
Regardless, I hope the Camaro IS NOT associated with the movie. One thing that always bothered me about the 5th gen Camaro was its association with Transformers. I can't stand it when people say anything related to Transformers when talking about my car.
