Thanks for pulling over and getting shots from all angles. That'll turn some curious heads.

Nice catch with the cars. Looks like these test mules were based on the pace cars? The rear tires didn't seem wide enough?

while the gas is more expensive than im used to in ND (2.79 and hasnt budged in about 5 months) I guess I should have put up a sarcastic smiley. Thanks for the responses though

Great catch! Thanks for sharing!

Thats weird. I was stationed in San Diego for the last 5 years and I've seen a bunch of "test" cars out there with the full on "tarp" get up. Wonder why they are always out there? Nice find and great timing

Revo1 · 09-08-2010, 10:17 PM

I smell front page news...

2SSRS · 09-08-2010, 10:28 PM

Nice find.

SDCamaro10 · 09-08-2010, 10:30 PM

Im just curious as to WHY there were 2 in Coronado. Of all places, why would they bring them this far south you know? I can understand a little further north, where the desert and tracks are.. but unless they were just looking for some cool breezes and sunshine..

yesterday a buddy of mine sent me a text, and i guess this kind of clarifies it. Says he saw a funky looking 5th gen driving around with a stamp on the door.

SuperFly03 · 09-08-2010, 10:34 PM

Well done man.

Some no BS, non-photographer, joe blow taken pics on a random day.

They look like the test pics we've already seen which is good.

I like what I'm seeing.

OldJedi · 09-08-2010, 10:36 PM

Very nice spot & photos! What does/did the decals on the doors state? I tried enlarging but could not make out what they say.

meanmike · 09-08-2010, 10:47 PM

looks like the hood on the caddy and zr1. Ttey could do more with the rest of the car though.

They might have been in Yuma Az. doing hot weather testing. GM has a proving grounds facility out there.

Nice shots bud. To bad you couldn't ask them to pull over and get some shots and ask some questions.

Hmm maybe. I didnt think about that. Apparently, in one of the other threads, one was spotted doing a video shoot up in northern/central cali. Who knows though.

Fbodfather: Any insider news about this??

chopss · 09-08-2010, 11:02 PM

sweet cool pics.
cant wait to see these in showrooms

OldJedi · 09-08-2010, 11:04 PM

The camo patterns on the rear of the car from Milford does not match the two cars from Coronado, CA. I wonder how many prototypes are running around? There was a report of twelve 'special' drive shafts being made a few months ago.

25thanniversary · 09-08-2010, 11:11 PM

nice pictures the right place at the right time any sound clip of them.

arod55 · 09-08-2010, 11:20 PM

It happened last year when the Camaro first came out. Ten of them drove in from Michigan and the did a photo shoot in Pacific Beach, Ca. and then went north to L.A. I still have a copy of the magazine from last year. It's the water (weather) ha,hal.

Right! I heard something about that a while ago, my memory sucks so im not suprised that i forgot, haha.

LostInMoscow · 09-09-2010, 12:50 AM

You be da man! Johnny on da spot!

Decibel JJ · 09-09-2010, 01:19 AM

Great find!
I'm really glad about the hood scoop!

I wonder if thats a new front facia in the mirror pic ? The lower grille area looks bigger but the driving lights seem the same size and in the same position as the chase car.

NoynuR · 09-09-2010, 01:55 AM

could be different camo because of the new hood?

camaroitalia · 09-09-2010, 02:10 AM

perfect timing
