I've read the first post talking about the spoiler being standard and the RS taillights being standard. I then read people saying they weren't happy that the RS parts were becoming standard.

Other than the taillights and spoiler, are the halo's and/or wheels from the RS becoming standard too? My assumption from reading the release is that it's only the spoiler and taillights, but I wanted to see if anyone had heard anything else.

I'm curious to see if there is any change to the center radio system :o

The halo's, wheels, body colored roof-ditch molding, and now body colored XM antenna are part of the RS package.

Until that 2012 buyer goes out and gets the same mods... and then boasts how his 323HP V6 is now pushing out 334HP.. while your 312HP V6 is only pushing out 323HP

Then he'll get headers and to the 2012's.

I love my 2010. I love this 45th anniversary edition, stripes especially (but I'd keep my 2010 steering wheel please). And I love that I'm packing tonight for CamaroFest2 tomorrow. Can't wait to see it all in person!!!!

Love the new features and plus MORE HP! More then the V6 Mustang & even older V8 Mustangs LMAO If only the Camaros were in the 3400-3600 lb range!!!

...is all changes that YOU guys requested. Minus the steering wheel, which I think too many automotive press members complained about.

Just goes to show that GM DOES listen to their customers.

It looks like they fixed the missing dashboard ABL by removing it from the doors so it matches the dash, not the other way around like we asked.

But as for the wheel. With the exception for the fact that it's smaller, with a flat bottom... yeah, not exactly sporty. My favorite part about the 2010 wheel... it says "Camaro" across the center! Aren't the exterior bowties enough??
lol

If they come from the factory that way then you're stuck with it. If they come in the trunk and are dealer installed then you can tell them to leave them in the trunk and you can save them and put them on in 30 years when the car is restored to all original for auction!

That, or a simple multiple exposure and some photoshop magic.

I really like the changes for the 2012 Camaro and I also like the 45 edition...great stuff there!! I think it is obvious that you guys are listening to us, and lots of other sources. I prefer the look of the 2010 - 11 steering wheel better than the new one shown, but I don't hate it, and it has got to be more functional forsure.

Scott, I want to thank you for what you do and the community involvment you provide, and that goes out to all the "invisble" Camaro team members out there as well! I could go on and on, but I am proud to own a product enfused with as much passion and pride as you and your team show us all the time. While I think many of the "negative-like" comments could be used as constructive criticism, don't let them get to you too much!

You mentioned the costs of adding gear option, and supercharger/turbo options is basically just too much time and cost. I don't doubt that statement. Your clostest competitor, the mustang offers a performance package in the V6 and V8 variants with lower gearing, suspension/brakes. (Of course, I see you will now be offering the performance suspension for the SS!) They advertise the "30 MPG" in the V6, when we all know good and well that has to be for the higher geared 2.73 version. I just want to say I for one, wish we had the same "enthusiast' gearing option as well....make the V6 2.92s standard and give us 3.45s or 3.55s as the option and we can go whoop up on them stangs lol.

Yeah, but the LFX will have the same TQ. So will that extra 11 HP even matter?

Wow, I really like it!
