How many 5th gens at Indy? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ctrain24 · 07-25-2008, 08:46 PM

I'm thinking about flying to Indy in September, but don't want to spend over a grand in plane tickets and find out theres only a couple of cars there. Did anyone from GM announce how many 5th gens will be at Indy?

*TAG UR IT* · 07-26-2008, 02:14 AM

Nope. Not yet. But, we are spending about 1,200 and don't have the cash to go. We are just going to basically put it all on the card....and have some well deserved fun.

I think there's going to be a few. if there's only one, I'm going to have the biggest fit anyone has ever seen

The_Beast_ · 07-26-2008, 02:26 AM

We were told earlier by Lutz I believe that there will be one of every trim. And I think a few of each showing different options and colors.

*CamaroSpike23* · 07-26-2008, 02:30 AM

37...

no i dont know for sure, just going thru all the different trim variations and engine/drivetrain combos

Wouldn't that be sweet! Drown us in ecstacy!

shank0668 · 07-26-2008, 08:07 AM

hahaha 37 would be nice

jmliptak · 07-26-2008, 08:36 AM

I think they should show us one, say that's all there is, get pics of Tag, and then roll out the other 36....

shank0668 · 07-26-2008, 08:38 AM

i can imagine it now they bring out the v6's and then say sorry we are still working on the v8 then a row of 20 v8's burnout all the way to their parking spots

Mr Twisty · 07-26-2008, 08:54 AM

How many individual cars have we seen so far...Concept car HAS to be there, red V6, yellow V6, black V8?, white car, surely they're saving the SS for the folks at Indy, and what I would really like to see is that 2-tone black/white car with "2010 Pace Car" decals on the side

OK that last car don't exist, but it could, should.

fbodfather, don't worry about posting here, I'll type it for you...You'll be pleasantly surprised, and you'll be glad you came!...KEEP THE FAITH!

P.S. fbodfather do you ever sleep? I see posts after midnite, then at 4 am...How's your candle holding up? Both ends burning?

*CamaroSpike23* · 07-26-2008, 08:59 PM

dont go spouting 37... you'll get me in trouble. lol

tho that would be hilarious.

Look at this thread

This is supposed to be the first time the public gets a hands on look at the production car.

ChrisL · 07-26-2008, 11:38 PM

There wont be 37, thats for sure. Oshawa wont be building anything yet by Sept. There are only a handful of cars today... and one went to NBC..... unplanned, but how could GM say no. Pricetag for the handbuilt cars we've seen so far... about a quarter of a million EACH.

What GM will have are Camaro team members there ready to discuss everything 5th gen with us. By September, they should have just aobut everything sewn up except for pricing.

No, you wont be able to drive a 5th gen. That I can guarantee.

Scott will also ensure he pulls some gems out of the GM Historic Collection too.

I'm With Tag on this one..EVERYTHING he said is the same for me..

Then that makes TWO of the biggest fits you've ever seen. I wouldn't worry too much about having cameras ready....as GM doesn't want to see my fit throwing abilities.

They know what I'm capable of.

I was already hammered once for a "special b-pillar thread..." yes. Black suburbans came to my door. One occupant ... well, I just won't talk about that now...

That's what I'm hoping for. I want to see our options in person. Since we probably won't be seeing production Camaro's at auto shows anytime soon, I'm heading to Indy.

jmliptak · 07-27-2008, 07:30 AM

Some RAMPANT SPECULATION.....

I am making this up as I go along, so don't think I know anything you guys don't, but.....

At the chats on Monday a question was asked about Museum Delivery ala the Vette, the answer was:

RandyCorkett: Can the car be ordered and pick up from the factory

JohnFitzpatrick: No plans that we can announce at this time. The issue we have is that Camaro will be produced in Oshawa, Canada, which makes it a little more difficult to offer the delivery system Corvette now offers.

There is a museum in Indy like one near the plant for the Vette and its in the US instead of in Canada for US customers. There is a club there to potentially run, not quite next to the plant, but would it work for you to take a tour of the Indy museum, see all the cars and pace cars, and then pick up your Camaro at the end of the tour and go over it with a specialist ala the Vette?

Just thinking out loud and asking the question. Maybe that is the reason they appear to be holding the SS till then...But I am guessing, would it be worth say $500 like it is on the Vette for you? Easy for me, I closer to Indy than I am to Bowling Green, and both are within a few hours....

MLL67RSSS · 07-28-2008, 07:00 AM

What if it were just the 4 cars that the second focus group drove?

SilverTurtle · 07-28-2008, 09:26 AM

if I had to guess, there will be 4... V6, V6 RS, SS and RS/SS

and yes, GM, I know its SS/RS, but I am going to call it whatever I want to :P
