Maybe he's embellishing. A dark green would make a little more sense for the Camaro than a bright green would. What needs a bright green is the Challenger. Hmm... well, I'd need to see it first.

Good ol tripod...how about this?

Good choice going green

Will green replace an existing color?

A hastily (and rather poorly) done photoshop from the only "vibrant lime green" paint sample I could find:

I just applied for pre-approval of my auto loan yesterday. I'm going to get my current car professionally detailed in preparation for selling next month.

I hope by mid-april my car arrives and I'll be cruising around Maryland in an Imperial Blue Metallic 2LT/RS!

i think this has been mentioned in other threads but im curious. What happens to these cars that are being made before March 16? especially if they are ramping up right now, it seems like this would be a lot of vehicles to either test drive/destroy. At bare minimum we are taking 400 to 500 vehicles, on top of all of the ones currently being driven now.

If it is PPG "Vibrance Key Lime" all I have to say is WOW. This color is amazing in person and Very VERY expensive. No online pics will do it justice.

Enator · 02-22-2009, 09:10 AM

Hey everybody.

Anbody who knows when we get one here in Sweden?

I think they'll end up being driven by GM employees or they'll be sold as used vehicles. Something like that...someone correct me if I'm wrong.

TStko · 02-22-2009, 09:12 AM

Sold as demos...........

fireresq157 · 02-22-2009, 09:41 AM

They are what is called Captured Test Fleet vehicles and cannot be titled or registeered. Fbodfather just got his and he stated that information. so he cannot keep it after his time with the car is over. That means it will not be sold to the public.

I realize you want to get cars into the dealer's hands ASAP. but then shouldn't you also hold the SS cars back until you are done with the dealer cars? that is if that is the reasoning behind not building V6 cars?
It's making us V6ers feel like we are not as important to you as the SS guys.
At least give us a clue to how long it will take before the sold order V6 cars will start production. And then will you build more V6's cars than SS cars so we can "Catch Up"

WHOA -- jumping to conclusions!

We are building both V6 and V8 cars -- we want you (collectively) behind the wheels of your Camaros AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!...........
