Usually new models come out around July\August. When there is a re-design or a new model they introduce it as early as Feb. Which means in all likely hood that the 2011 wont be out until next July\August after the plant does the summer turnover. That means that in total from March 16th until at least next June they will have built about 8000 Camaros per month. If they dont break 100,000 this first year, they will come awfully close. This is assuming that demand remains. If not they will stop Saturdays and cut shifts etc.. and then you would see less. The numbers don't lie however. If they keep building at the same pace they are building now until the end of the model year, we are looking at 90,000 plus units.


For a specialty car like this that would be great numbers for GM.
