I'll be dreaming about Camaros and sugar plums all night long tonight!

Someone get me a glass of ice water.

They will be! GM needs some positive publicity too!

True. I'd be willing to bet that of those 50 cars, 35 to 40 of them will be sold and off the lots before this weekend is over.

As for everyone saying that GM should have built 50 pre-orders instead of v6 parade/showroom cars...keep in mind that 80% of the pre-orders were SS models and GM needed to maintain some level of balance in the mix of parts being made by the suppliers. I too wish there were more v6 models being delivered but that will happen soon enough.

Also keep in mind, GM has to generate interest among non-enthusiasts to keep the sales going beyond the initial 15000 pre-orders. When you're planning of annual sales of 80-10k, 15k enthusiast orders is a long way off from that target. Who's going to buy the first 15k of next years run? Certainly not the 15k enthusiasts that bought one this year.

Isn't it amazing how sooo many Camaros show up on mass at different special events, not owned by anyone, yet WE THE BUYING PUBLIC, are still waiting for out cars

GET THE BUYERS THEIR CARS FIRST!

At this point, I know what the Camaro looks like, I've seen it in person, I've even touched one. These pics of massive Camaros coming together all in one spot just to show off, is REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES!

IMHO!

There, now I feel better, onward and upward, and moving onto another thread...I know let's go and see the pics of the pround owners
