Hey guys, this site has been a staple in my life for a while. Considering as I would love to drive my Camaro all the time, I might have to work at a certain point. What will become of this site after we all have our babies? Any new ideas for post delivery threads?

Well, we need to have a birthday thread where everyone posts up a picture of them picking up their baby.

GM Fastlane.

It’s Camaro Time!
By Ed Peper
GM North America Vice President, Chevrolet

Quote:

This is a day that literally hundreds of thousands of people have been waiting for - especially me: the first all-new 2010 Chevy Camaro is rolling off the line at GM’s award-winning assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario.

If you love cars, it doesn’t get much better than this. Chevy has reinvented a classic American sports car for 21st century drivers. Besides Corvette, there is probably no car in Chevy history that carries a prouder legacy than Camaro.

When we announced that Camaro was returning to the Chevy lineup a little over two years ago, it became one of the most highly anticipated vehicle launches of this decade. We’ve heard from more than 800,000 people asking for information about the 2010 Camaro, and 14,000 of them have already placed an order to buy one when they arrive at Chevy dealer showrooms next month.

I know a lot of people think it’s taken too long to bring the all-new Camaro to market, but when you get behind the wheel I guarantee you’ll agree this 21st-century sports car was worth the wait.

The 2010 Camaro is stylish and incredibly fun to drive. The design is very faithful to the original Camaro concept that inspired Hollywood director Michael Bay to make it the hero of “Transformers,” and it also acknowledges the Camaro’s heritage, but the sleek lines and aggressive stance really set the 2010 Camaro apart from its competitors.

Speaking of competitors, the 2010 Camaro has some significant advantages over more traditional rivals like the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. It also competes well against some rather unexpected competitors, like the Nissan 370 Z, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, and BMW 3-Series.

Let’s look specifically at how Camaro stacks up against the venerable Mustang. For starters, the Camaro V6 generates 304 horsepower, while Mustang’s V8 tops out at 315. In terms of fuel efficiency, Camaro wins hands-down - the V6 will achieve 29 miles per gallon on the highway, according to the EPA, five mpg’s or better than Mustang. Camaro also has standard 4-wheel independent suspension that Mustang doesn’t offer. Camaro has 6-speed transmissions across the entire lineup, while you can still get a Mustang with a 5-speed.

The 2010 Camaro features all of the modern amenities that 21st century drivers expect: Bluetooth phone and USB connectivity; a Boston Acoustics audio system; OnStar; and XM satellite radio. And all of these features come wrapped in a very affordable package - the 2010 Camaro’s MSRP starts at $22,995.

Now a 21st century sports car should have 21st century marketing behind it. We know that Camaro buyers are very internet-savvy and they go online to get their information. There are more than 600 Camaro blogs already online, but there’s only one “official” Camaro site and it went live today.

All in, the 2010 Camaro is a budget-friendly sports car that offers great fuel economy without sacrificing performance. It’s already a movie star and it’s also the newest showroom star at Chevrolet, which is GM’s foundational brand.

The 2010 Camaro is the latest example of how we are reinventing the Chevy brand and the automobile for today’s consumers. It joins the Silverado Hybrid - the most fuel-efficient full-size pickup you can buy - and later this summer, the all-new 2010 Equinox crossover, which will achieve best-in-class 30-mile-per-gallon fuel economy.

Okay, I’ll take my foot off the gas pedal - for now.

It’s Camaro time!

I think the site will only get better. You will have everyone showing pictures at first. Then we start moving to mods and times.

Camaro5 will live a very long time.

I thought the pink slip joke was hilarious

^^^Yeah, good one for Cyn!

I'm still checking out the new Camaro site Ed points out, but it looks to hold an impressive amount of info.

29mpg for the V6
12.9s @ 111mph for the LS3
USB port is in the console glovebox
halos are LED powered

General Motors hopes new Camaro is a big hit
Monday, March 16, 2009

With a design that is very close to the original concept, the 2010 Camaro acknowledges its heritage from the first-generation Camaro, produced from 1967 through 1969. The two-door sports coupe features classic proportions over a 112.3-inch (2,852 mm) wheelbase. The overall length of the Camaro is 190.4 inches (4,836 mm); width and height are 75.5 inches (1,918 mm) and 54.2 inches (1,376 mm), respectively.

They were talking about it on cnbc a few minutes ago, again. One dingbat woman said "it doesn't get very good fuel economy does it?" Then there was a jerk who wants GM to fail, but he's pro-AIG bonuses. He also thinks GM doesn't make any cars people will miss. Donny Deutsch was the voice of reason for crying out loud.
