We Texans know a great car when we see one and I can't wait to go from Dallas to the border and back to Oklahoma on our long ass highways

Especially the drive to El Paso, that would be a great place to open the Camaro up! Congrats to the Camaro and Texas!

Looks like us Texans have impeccable taste in cars.

Once again, I love being from Texas. Most Redass state in the Union.

The Camaro SHOULD be the COTY, but anything is possible in this day and age. I swear if another Prius is the COTY i am gonna flip

RNK TX SS · 05-01-2009, 02:14 PM

Was there any doubt that the 2010 Camaro would kick all the other cars to the curb?

Texans do know their vehicles.

Melson · 05-01-2009, 02:15 PM

Not Really!

Pulled this from an email that I got from a local Houston dealer today. Looks like Houston is going to do the same thing that Dallas did last weekend.

Your HOUSTON AREA CHEVY DEALERS will conduct a unique caravan event, featuring the highly anticipated 2010 Chevy Camaro. More than 50 brand-new Camaros will parade across Houston, as a prelude to one of the most exciting vehicle launches in recent history.

In the early afternoon of May 7, the Camaro Caravan — under police escort — will depart Sam Houston Race Park. The Camaro Caravan will journey through selected destinations around Houston, targeting iconic destinations.

The Camaro Caravan will end its several hour tour at Minute Maid Park for the Houston Astros vs. Chicago Cubs game. The Camaro Caravan will be greeted by Camaro Club members from around the area and will park on the Avenida de Las Americas, where the Camaros will remain on display for the duration of the game.

As the Camaro Caravan route and additional details are confirmed, your HOUSTON AREA CHEVY DEALERS will provide you with updates, so you, too, can catch a glimpse as Camaro overtakes Houston.
