Have you seen the Camaro in person? - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Saw a black RS a few months ago, and will be seeing 3-4 more in two days!!

As has been said, over and over, pictures do not do the car justice. I can't believe how surprised I was as I walked up to the RS, and then walked around it.

It looked MUCH better than I even figured, I knew it was going to look great. But once I saw it, something just clicked.

It was instant

The Camaro team hit a home run. Really.

EVERYONE flocked to the car at the show.

I can't wait to see how much crazier it gets when people can actually sit in the thing.

I'll try to get some candid "regular people" reactions from the DAS when I go in a few days. Should be fun.

One reason why seat belts were invented.

(Sorry, had to say it)

Anyway, I haven't seen one in person yet, and can't wait to. I loved the concept, but the "production" style lost some of the sleekness. I just want to see the physical size, and drive it of course!

Seen in Philly with fbodfather Scott and sat in SEMA LS-7, red LT RS, Silver SS RS, and Production(VIN 00008) Aqua Blue Metallic LT. Loved them all..you will too

Thought that don't start until March 16th.

Yeah, I was fortunate to spend some quality time in a CTF that my husband had (He's a GM employee) They are "production-intent" and can technically be sold eventually. Ours was built back in December, but they have been building them since. Production officially starts in March, but the plant has been getting ready and CTF cars are important to the process.

not yet

Ah. The one you drove to Florida in and we got to drive it with you sort of by your story of the trip. I'm guessing, that is what you are talking about. If so, thanx again for bringing us with you on the trip...that was one of the main reasons I joined this site. Great pictures and video!!

Scott@Bjorn3D · 02-17-2009, 07:41 AM

Nope have not seen on yet.

GM have anyone driving in Southeast Alabama hook up with me so Steph and I can see it and sit in it.

kdbolt70 · 02-17-2009, 07:56 AM

Saw it at NAIAS, and also driving down the street last saturday. Needless to say, I went completly bonkers. Also saw a 2010 Mustang the same day, but I think I'm sticking with my decision

fredl11 · 02-17-2009, 03:06 PM

one, listened to one start and run!

Ballin395 · 02-18-2009, 06:47 AM

I went to da chicago autoshow to see my future Camaro and they told me that the ambiant lighting will be on the doors only and maybe in the later model they'll have the dash installed for the 2011 model.

Koolwip · 02-18-2009, 08:11 PM

Saw it today!

VJCamaro · 02-18-2009, 08:14 PM

Haven't seen it in person, but the pictures do it enough justice for me to go to the dealer and purchase it!

Am I CRAZY??? Maybe, and now there's a crazy man behind the wheel of a 2010 2SS Camaro.
