So, what time are they going to pick finalists? It seems like nobody knew about this, which makes me feel lucky.

It suggested Cargill Chevrolet in Putnamn, CT as one of the dealers where I could go to sign up. They claimed that they've never heard of it and then one guy said that it says it was over last year. I then went to Hurd Chevrolet in Johnston, RI and the guy saw me carrying the prinout and knew just what I was there for.

I assume so. They confirmed my entry via email. I hope they'll send an email saying that I'm a finalist, but if they don't, I hope they'll at least send one saying I'm not.

Too late. Registration ended yesterday.

What's the catch? Winner will probably be the first to have a chance of purchasing it, that's all..and how much over MSRP?

They're giving a 1LT away.

[Verio]

Well, apparently they are not letting people know who the Semi-Finalists are. You just have to show up to your dealer and wait around to see if you won or not.

Lame.

Edit -

I guess better odds for those who actually go to their dealers' party that evening. Must be present to win.

From the rules:

Semi-Finalist Selection: Seven (7) potential semi-finalists will be drawn on May 1st, 2009, from among all eligible entries of all participating dealerships combined. Each potential semi-finalist must confirm his/her eligibility, and indicate his/her willingness and ability to accept the Grand Prize, if selected as the winner. If a potential finalist is ineligible, does not comply with these Official Rules, or does not wish to accept the prize as offered, he/she will be disqualified and, at Administrator’s discretion, an alternate finalist will be randomly selected for the applicable dealership, time permitting.

Winner Selection: A random drawing will be held on or about TBD ET (Eastern Standard Time) on May 6, 2009, from among all eligible Semi-Finalists selected at all participating dealerships. A total of one (1) potential winner will be selected. Potential winner must be present at his/her “Camaro Party” on May 6, 2009 at the dealership they entered at to be eligible. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible finalists. Potential winner will be required to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release, and, where lawful, a publicity release and a W-9 form within three (3) days of date of issuance.

Sure sounds like they're going to contact finalists to confirm their availability, then they expect only the finalists to be at the dealer, then they'll confirm that the winner can take the car.
