Also, as far as the headlights, I don't see why GM would want them to me on now, but they're not ready either? I'm all for "just in time" delivery of parts to the plant, but some of this seems like it's cutting things pretty close. Again, not a critisism, just asking. I always thought I was pretty informed about things, but I've learned more about what goes on in the development of new cars as the Camaro progresses than ever. Thank you to all of you!   |
I PM'd Camero about this and while the majority of things are final, there is still issues related to the manufacturing and assembling of parts. those things can't be found until you try them out in test batches. Also, they are going to have as little idle time as possible. When they have everything set up and ready to go, they will. Until then, they want to make sure that things are right
