black is soooo beautiful. was this a glossy black, or did it have that metallic flake in it like the malibu???? can't tell from the lighting in the pics.

EXCELLENT photos, THX!!! Headlights look cool at night, especially with the black color.

Nexus6, who are all the people in the photo?
BTW, love the user name, Blade Runner 1983.

OK, it's official. The Camaro has the most menacing from and rear view of any car I've seen in my life, esp at night with just those halo rings on, and at the back with just the reflectors. I love it!!

This may have been posted, but I was just looking at the pictures.

WHY DIDN'T WE GET THIS BLACK BEAUTY IN INDY? AGGHHHH!!!!

I'm happy with what we got, but I would have really liked to see this car in person.

Can one of you guys email me some high quality pics? anragan@aol.com

Thanks

It was gloss black. I asked Scott why they went with gloss instead of the black granite that came on my '08 Malibu. He said that they decided that the cyber gray and black granite were too similar, and they really wanted the cyber for the "machine" look. The gloss black really did look awsome!

I'm in the same boat regarding pics, etc. Y'all just have to be patient with us until we can get all the "good stuff" up on here.

It will be worth it! Between all of us, we got some GREAT stuff!!!

Patience my @..

Seriously, thanks for remembering us, great job!

I'm in the blue shirt to Scott's left.

Damn, I didnt see you guys taking that photo, I was there until about 8:45 pm.

I had a blast though, it was HOT in black on black.

I think that mine is going to be black now, I dont care how hard it is to clean, that was just too bad ass.

*GTAHVIT* · 09-26-2008, 08:52 AM

I asked Al Oppenheiser at Indy how many 5th gens are running around in the world. He thought about it for a minute, and said "about 70."

So, way more than we have seen. I am guessing a good number of those are at aftermarket companies getting ready for SEMA.

I can't even see the pic on this computer at work but I should be in the back near Scott wearing glasses.

When we got there we were shuttled 100yrds to the event and Jolie Holliday was opening for James Otto(who according to Scott is now in love with the Camaro) and people were already in the food line for Texas Land and Cattle who catered. I was too excited to eat so I hopped in a shorter line leading to the bed of a new Silverado packed to the top of the bed with domestic beer and ice 100% on Chevy! Once I had some ice cold courage I worked up the nerve to approach Scott for fear I might not get the chance again. He was very nice and asked someone to take a picture of him, my wife and myself by the stage(I will post my pics ASAP). After talking a while he told me about the ZR1 he had in the showroom and told us to feel free to take a look around. Me, Nexus, and 2KZ28 made a "B" line for the vette and imediatley started taking pictures. After a few minutes Scott walks in and seems displeased with our camera angles and removes the rope around the car so we could get closer! When I came back outside I noticed Scott had disapeared and when he finaly reamerged he was standing with two people and Lou the duck! I introduced myself to them and as most of you probably know I had met Silver Turtle and Raven. What some of you may not know is these are two of the nicest people you could ever meet, and I spent alot of time talking with them both. When the Camaro came out of the alley it was mass histeria! I couldn't hear the car or get close enough for a decent pic. Once the mob had settled and the party started to come to an end I went back for more pics along with the others. Folks I'm here to tell you, Pictures of this car don't do it justice! It was B-E-A-UTIFUL! I want to thank GM, the other Camaro5 members there, and of coarse Scott. It was a blast and I will make it to more of these events no matter how far.
