Poll - Do you wish GM to recognize early purchased Camaros? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Maybe something on the engine, but I don't like badges on the the outside of the car !!

Something on the dash like the G8 graphic is cool. Nothing on the outside of the car. Maybe something that says "Enthusiast Edition". I think it would be great for GM to recognize that we were enthusiasts and pre-ordered our Camaros.

Nothing on the outside.

I wouldn't mind some kind of sticker on the air intake, radiator shroud or something like that.

Thinking long term scarcity creates/maintains value. Will I still own this car in 20 or 30 years? I don't know, but if I do and it is one of 11000 early orders with a cormmemorative wiget than I would bet it will be worth more than a normal production unit. It can't hurt.

True - but I think it more reflects that we were there when GM needed us. If I look over at that dash emblem 10 years from now (baring any family problem, I'll be keeping her), I want to remember everything we've been through from the past few years.

I'll remember the early spy pics, the early interaction of FBodfather, the growth of this website, Indy, all the great people I've met here because of this car and everything that is about to happen to all of us in the next 6 months (mainly us being handed our keys and getting a thread started here where people can post up themselves being given the keys to their car). This really has been an incredible journey for many of us.

All the cars with this dash emblem (or whatever it may be) will have a story behind it. Anyone who stumbles across a used car with this RPO will know after a bit of research, what the original owner felt and participated in.

I would really like it if they did something special for the preorders. The interior dash decal would be ok. Doing something subtle on the outside of the car would be nice too. By subtle I'm thinking something like if the camaro word near the front tire is chrome that for preorders maybe they make it black chrome. Something like that.

Only if it comes with a $2,000.00 rebate!

EllwynX · 01-30-2009, 06:35 PM

Subtle on the interior, yes.

camaro6speed · 01-30-2009, 06:50 PM

A small plate on the console like the commemorative vipers would be nice. Definitely nothing on the exterior.

Yes, it's the second letter, picture and link to the pic online.
