2009 Camaro Watch
The world first saw the Chevrolet Camaro concept car at
the 2006 Detroit Auto Show. It was an instant success,
enthusiasts from around the world asking when the production
version would be ready for sale. With innovations
and options never before seen in a pony car, the concept
car had everyone excited to see what the production version
would bring. Since that show, Chevrolet engineers
have been working tirelessly to deliver to you the greatest
Camaro ever produced.
The return of the Chevrolet Camaro may well be the most
anticipated automotive launch in the history of General
Motors. Like you, the engineers at GM Performance Parts
are excited to not only drive a Camaro but to modify the
Camaro for extreme street use, drag racing applications,
and road racing.
First, here is what we know about Camaro: You should
be able to buy your Camaro in early 2009. There will be
at least one V-6 and V-8 model offered. We know that the
convertible Camaro will be out later in the 2009 year. The
car will come with an advanced independent rear suspension
offering an incredible ride quality. Beyond that, we’ll
have to wait to tell you more.
As for our involvement, we can tell you that there are Camaro
enthusiasts from several divisions of General Motors
that are working on special editions, handling kits, engine
parts, accessories, and general hot rod parts that should
help you keep the wrenches flying for months after your
purchase. We know that the Camaro is a special car—one
that people will be passionate about. And, we want to make
sure that the GM factory can provide you with just about
anything you want in the way of high performance parts.
One thing is for sure—the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro will be
one of the hottest cars to ever hit the streets and racetracks
of America. And, GM Performance Parts plans to be
right there with crate engines, bolt-on parts, and serious
engine upgrades to ensure that your Camaro performs to
your expectations.

that it will build an all-new production version of
the Chevrolet Camaro. The sport coupe will be nearly identical to
this Camaro concept that was introduced at the North American
International Auto Show. Production will begin at the end of 2008
and the Camaro will go on sale in the first quarter of 2009.

Damn, I was hoping for more engine data.
I like what they had to say about all the available performance stuff. Just makes me that much more impatient.
