It could have been done a little better IMO.

All the stipes and whatnot (the mohawk, the ghost flames on the rear fenders) are also just stickers. Kinda wish they were paint. This blue is amazing though, they should definitely have this on all models!

I like the tail lights. Hopefully they won't mess with them too much.

...sigh...

I have this car is it just on the web or is it in one of their magazines?

I have the Hot Wheels toy of the Hot Wheels special edition in blue And green. I do not have the Chevy Special edition. I will not say how many Bumblebee toys I have, but I do have the 10 Chevrolet Transformers Edition!

I don't remember a Hot Wheels car in 1968, but was only 7 years old. Glad they did this!

If it handles better with the 21s now, what would the 20s be like? Obviously it would be slightly better all around.

Yeah, like to see 2012-13 test to see as I have a 2012. When on the auto x, which isnt the Camaros strong suit with the very tight courses the 2012 still rolls and understeers badly, a real workout! With aftermarket bars and springs It's great! The 2012 is good but still leaves alot on the table

When I went to the dealership to pick up my 2SS/RS, I saw the new Hot Wheels on the lot. For $6,000 extra, I honestly would not purchase this car, unless you have a serious love for Hot Wheels. What disappointed me was that I asked the sales associate "Do you get a miniature Hot Wheels car that's an exact replica of the one you spend $45k+ on?" and he said "No". It's a neat concept, but I wouldn't dish out the money for it.

I still don't understand GM saying blues don't sell well but they put one on an expensive, special edition Camaro.

No! I'm happy that it's reserved for this car. It should be a special color.

For no amount of money, much less $7,000, do I want "Hot Wheels" logo's all over my Camaro. I think it looks cheap and cartoonish.

wish that color was available to all camaros
