Pretty cool, wonder if they'll wander up to the panhandle to Pensacola?

Also, anybody notice they are going to call it a 2010 model instead of 09? At least I named myself right!

SSmoked · 03-13-2008, 07:03 PM

XCELLENT pics bro, and welcome to the site. that first pic is pure genius lol. boy ol boy has that week been asom lol.

FOR FUTURE PEOPLE WHO SEE THE CAMARO PLEASE TAKE A VIDEO CAMERA IN UR CAR AND VIDEO TAPE THIS BAD BOY

. thanks

The cars are here in tampa. I've seen the white one on monday and followed it for 19 miles. North of Tampa. I have seen the Black one today. I will not mention the road they are using because, I think that it's a hot spot for new car testing. I've seen Audi test at least 4 cars last year on the very same road 8 months before they came to the market.

Maddog78 · 03-13-2008, 07:19 PM

Great catch. Thanks for putting them up for your buddy.

Yup, cool week here.

tonydw30 · 03-13-2008, 07:21 PM

I have 3 or 4 videos from my camera phone of me trailing close behind the white camaro, but I don't know how to post. I will take my camcorder to work tomorrow, and if I nsee it again I will film it.

selil · 03-13-2008, 07:25 PM

I've followed where the OEM's test. I don't know if they all do, but I've seen quite a few. I75 in Florida between Naples and I4/i75 is a hot spot. The Ford guys used to stay in Naples all the time. Marfa Texas is another hot spot. I've seen quite a few out that way. Pueblo to Denver is another hot spot and out i70 towards Utah. I chased the Porsche SUV through Colorado one year when they were testing it, but I had the advantage I was driving a BMW. In Naples I was having dinner at the Naples Pier and the guys from Ford came in. They were testing the Crown Victoria Police Car, the previous year (must have been 94?) Chevy was testing the Camaro there. I got pictures of a magazine testing the S2000 Honda outside of Vale/Avon too. It seems there are hot places to test/introduce cars.

Now show me a Convertible being tested.

Email the videos to yourself, and upload them to youtube.

smokn' · 03-13-2008, 07:34 PM

with this much testing, i'm pretty sure we can dismiss the idea that there's going to be any engine we've seen before in these. i know they test all cars, but this seems to be a lot of extensive engine testing to stick some vette reject engine in there...let's go gen v! and i agree, what a great week!

Emu the Foo · 03-13-2008, 07:48 PM

Or maybe email them to one of the Moderators and they can help you.

thelastz28 · 03-13-2008, 07:57 PM

Great pics.

bsmithinc · 03-13-2008, 08:01 PM

Impressive, I can only hope they will be cruising around the Bay Area soon. VERY SOON.

I think it's because the bottom rear portion of the rear bumper is painted black and it makes a bad contrast with the white paint. The black and white combo doesn't look very good and the lack of a rear spoiler doesn't help.

Oh Lord, why dont you buy me a Camaro SS, all my freinds drive mustangs and challengers and I must make amends!!!

B O N E Z · 03-13-2008, 09:24 PM

Is it just me or does it seem alot thicker from top to bottom and shorter? maybe it just needs a new color, a spoiler, and perhaps make it lower.

CKarsting · 03-13-2008, 09:34 PM

I'm not sure if I like the way the backend looks as much without the vents. Still nice, but I hope the vents come standard.

Fandango · 03-13-2008, 09:35 PM

Humidity? I know better places than here to test that. They just wanted to take this Baby to beach for the day. Can you blame them?

Fandango · 03-13-2008, 10:20 PM

You know what though, it does rain here like cats and dogs once a week now doing the end of the winter. I'm sure they will need to see how it does on dirt roads too. We got tons of those. I think it should rain tomorrow or Saturday. All I know is I got my Cannon with me at all times. My first order of business would be to touch the material the lights are made of.

Funny how though I'm totally convinced those are not the true headlights, just because they are so not proportionate to the fogs, but you just wanna do more investigating and just reasure yourself that those aren't real.

Guys. I know what this headlight thing is like. You know how we all get to the bar and start checking out girls and say "real" or "fake". Most of the time we can tell just by looking then sometimes we say, "Hum, I can't tell, maybe if I felt them." I don't know. What do you think? That's just me.

SoFlaZ · 03-13-2008, 10:24 PM

Oh man, I hope they come to Orlando, I am going to keep my camera with me everywhere I go. Just seeing it cruising on the highway, I picture myself in it

. It deff needs the small spoiler but it still looks killer!

And everyone dont forget!!!:notheadlights:!!!!!!!!!!!!

The80sman · 03-13-2008, 10:25 PM

What is a pre production Camaro doing in Florida? I mean does GM have a headquarters around here?

vandy0419 · 03-13-2008, 10:36 PM

I love this car so much!

I guess it kind of makes sense...since they're not taking it to shows, why not put a couple all over the roads so when someone on the road sees it, they'll be in absolute awe

smike07 · 03-13-2008, 10:37 PM

I like the rear end angles on this one. She's got a nice @ss!
