Mike thank you and please thank the entire Camaro Team. As my baby makes this cross country trip to California I am counting every mile, waiting anxiously and know that he is well prepared for the journey thanks to all of you. After having just driven this fabulous car I know that my choice to purchase the ZL1 was 100% correct. I now pray that the train will bring him home safely.

Again, thanks to EVERYONE from the original designers & dreamers to the final build crew, you are my heroes.

That is up to GM Canada Management , althought on a personal note i can say without doubt our last tour in June of 2011 was a huge success . It really was a great experience for all of the Build Team Crew to see and meet our customers and also for us as workers to say Thanks

I know i won't have the privilede to meet very many of you guys/gals over the next few years to personally Thank You for supporting GM and Team Camaro , so please accept this as my way of Congratulating all of the new ZL1 owners who will be receiving their all new Camaro's over the next couple of months.

As i have said in the past you are the greatest customers and i'm very proud to be a part of your Oshawa Build Team and to help make your dreams come true Enjoy the ride and Best Regards from Canada

Thanks Mike -

But please, Thank YOU - and all your friends up in Oshawa assembly! Without you guys - there would be no ZL1. I'll think of you all when I finally take delivery! It's been an honor to have you all as a part of this journey!

Cool

Thanks guys. I am a child born of the 60's and always loved the first generation camaros but by the time I was driving age could only lament the aged engineering. Years passed and I became a Vette owner. Since, I have spent the last 20 years driving vettes and never thought I would drive anything but fiberglass. When Ford introduced the vintage Thunder bird body I was sad as THAT was not the car I would have chosen for a retro return. When Ford introduced the 2005 Mustang I was tempted but knew it just wasn't the same. Chevy cancelled the Camaro line and hope was almost lost. With the rebirth of Camaro 5th generation I hoped again, but still wasn't sold on the engineering after having modified the Z06 to almost 500 hp, the SS couldn't sway me to leave glass. I have followed the REbirth of the ZL with great interest and even sold a 50th Anniversary Z06 to make room in the garage for what I now consider to be the ultimate car. Not to be fanatical but we just resealed the floor in the garage, cleaned out all the dust behind the workbenches and shelves and removed all the items stored overhead, sort of like prepping a nursery. We cannot wait for car #36 to come home to Alabama. Thank you for making this car and for making it what it was destined to be. Not just another pretty retro wanna be but the real thing!!
