FBodfather... any surprises for the L.A. Auto Show?

I'm definitely there like I am every year, but now I've got a point to prove. My wife thought she saw a Camaro yesterday at work and chased it down in her golf cart because she knew I would throttle her if she didn't get a pic... turned out to be a Challenger. So she texts me and tells me what happened and says if the Camaro looks aywhere near as nice as the Chally in real life she'll finally understand why I'm talking/reading/thinking/dreaming about it 24/7. I told her to wait till we go to the Auto Show this year so I can show her the meaning of sexy vehicular! Soooo... I'm praying GM sends some pre-po's out west this November along with some goodies we haven't seen yet!!

...and I have seen a couple of Chally's on the road, really nice car but big as the damn USS Enterprise and not NEARLY as striking as the recent pics of the Camaro I've been drooling over lately!

If the concept was there last year it only makes sense to have a production model this year.

Because we're speeeeeecial!! Honestly, I've lurked at most of the Camaro boards since the concept was introduced and rekindled my love affair with the F-Body and NOT ONE of them holds a candle to this forum, especially in regards to 5th gens. That's why this is the only place I post and make sure to visit SEVERAL times everyday. You'll generally find the newest/most pics here, the most new threads, the highest number of responses to similar threads, and jalopnik jacks more Camaro posts/pix here than anywhere else!! I see Scott on the other forums too and always wonder what he thinks (If I had to guess I'd say he's partial to camaroz28.com, but we're definitley closing in!). I know I'm not one of the more active, well known posters but I'm probably on here more than most of them (SEVERAL hours EVERYDAY) and I love u guys!!

In any case CAMARO5.COM is special and damnit I want the scoop!!

If there is a surprise and he tells you then it is no longer a surprise.

but who hasn't partially unwrapped a gift before Christmas just to make sure what's underneath the wrapping paper is what they think it is? As far as I know, people will be more excited with some confirmation about it (the 'maro) being at the show, etc.

There will be a production intent Camaro at Miami Auto show -- there will be pre-production Camaros at the Los Angeles Auto Show -- and I'm working hard to ensure that any autoshow after Christmas will have at least one -- if not more - Camaros at the autoshow..........

when I say 'pre-production' car -- I mean either the Silver SS from Indy - the red or yellow RS from the pics you've seen -- or the Black RS from State Fair of Texas..........

What's the difference between those and production intent?

Will production intent have the interior plastics graines yet?
