It's been out for at least a year. I'm surprised I don't have it yet. I've bought every other camaro book. LOL

Guess I gotta leave something for Xmas!

This is a great book! It was published '09. I got mine in July this year. It really gives you an in-depth insight on the development, and takes you step by step through the process. I found the split concept clay model interesting, as it had two different styling ideas, one on each side. The testing in Australia and Nurburgring was pretty cool reading. Lots of neat photos, too.
You can find it at different places, Camaro Collection, Chevy Mall, Amazon, etc.
I've always loved to read the history on any of my cars, and this is definitely a must have book for any 5th Gen Camaro owner.

Great book. I got mine a year ago from my daughter. Our town library also has a copy thanks to my request. Most libraries will order books if you just ask- they get big discounts.

Got a copy last year for Christmas. Very interesting read. I followed the development closer than most, and I learned a lot in that book.

RiCorvette · 12-13-2010, 05:38 PM

Found mine on Amazon (used) a while back...
even had Scott Settlemire and Cheryl Pilcher autograph it.

Great book - behind the scenes account of the Camaro development.

"prima"Donna · 12-14-2010, 01:28 AM

My son bought it for my husband for Father's Day 2009, about a month after we got our HWAY STR...

I took it to the Camaro/GM Nationals in Carlisle, PA that month and got the

Fbodfather

, Al Oppenheiser, John Fitzpatrick, Cheryl Pilcher, and John Cox to autograph it...

They are all featured in the book, and the book is great!!!...

I finally picked up this book a couple of weeks ago. I have only read the first couple of chapters so far and I already love it.

Very good reading as it gives you a good idea of how it was within GM the last few years before the Camaro was discontinued and also how difficult it was to get the car brought back to the table.

I picked that book about 6 months ago. Interesting read and some good photos in there.
