lol that's not merely speculation... That is the truth...

Yeah, I'm sure both will be coming out initially. And for those of you that do want the Camaro right away, you know what to do, either go in now and place a sales order, or when pricing, and official orders begin go and place your order.

I'm not sure what the big deal is anyways. Anyone getting their cars early, doesn't get to choose from as many options because some will not be available until mid year.

Unless, of course, they put in another line and perfectly time it to have a V6 and V8 Camaro come off both lines at the exact same time...

I'll stop now.

wellllll......actually we're building 'non-saleable' MVBs at the rate of perhaps a couple a week -- none have regular VINs.......some are V6 -- some are V8

The first saleable car -- VIN #1 -- will be an SS -- a Red one - we've put the order in and it will reside in the GM Historic Collection -- right next to the last 4th gen Camaro (VIN 22172467)which is also red.

--- after that? A Selection of V6 and V8.....we don't plan on 'constraining' at this point --

That is great news Scott! I have guys breathing down my neck for SS/RS. I think I have a few of them sold for Chevy, just a hunch.

So who gets Vin #2 and 3? What's the lowest VIN number that some lucky person ordering can get?
