Damn thing was born to be a convertible. Absolutely beautiful.

I actually got to see the real thing in person a few weeks ago over at Design Center. It's even better looking in person.

[JMarsa]

Like the car but not the windshield frame. I guess I'm used to seeing the body color on all past models.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

I WISH they would get better at photo shop.. either the girls growth was stunted or the Camaro is HUGE!

Also, 2010? Come on GM said they'll have hydrogen cars on the road by then. Doesn't make any sense.

No kidding! If they don't get their ass in gear the company will be dead by then. Afterall they are Americas leading car company at sucking ass.

[TonyL]

beautiful. I almost didn't check the thread because I thought i remember seeing it. Wow. I must have one. A green one with white stripes.

/Wheres my rally sport hideaway headlight option? Trapin? Hmmm?! Well?!!! *nudge*

[LowBuckX]

Im a hard top man but Id sure dont mind looking at that convert.

The after market should be looking at these pics hard. First thing that needs fixed are the punny side mirrors. They dont look right at all.

Uhh, no...that would be Ford. And as far as getting our asses in gear, I believe we are already doing that. The Camaro is not going to "save" our company (not that it needs saving, mind you). Our most important products are just seeing the light of day (The 900 truck platform, the Acadia, Outlook, Enclave. And cars such as the Aura and new Malibu. We just have to hope our contract talks go well this year. We're doing fine, and will be a force in the years to come.

Tony....if we don't do a hidden headlight option than it's a safe bet that some aftermarket company will do one as a bolt on replacement, much like Roush does with those new fascias for Mustang.

Here is our slideshow gallery with 24 photos:

Thanks for the pics!

This thing is sweet. I agree on the mirrors. too samll. Also not sure a bout the console gauges. The seats will definitely be used in years to come as popular PT convertible transplants. I can't describe all the things I like about it.

Nineball, that last "Cars" pic at the end is hilarious.

That is the top-secret Camaro SS. SS = Super Smiley!

Well I hope you guys don't let that happen. It'd be a perfect nod to the original camaros. The photos shops in Hot Rod look perfect.

why is there a "radioactive" button on the dash?

Nice!!! Tony, where do I sign up on a waiting list? lol!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

you know, just in case you want to go hairless that day.. cut the switch on radioactive hairdryer and poof! your a regular Sneid Oconnor.

youll be bringing sexy back.

[JChristian1835]

Wow.. I keep looking at the engine bay and thinking.. I hope the production version isnt like that... I would hate to 1. have to yank all that plastic off to work on it. and 2. worry about breaking the plastic when taking it apart...

[Bill Howell]

Nice!!! Tony, where do I sign up on a waiting list? lol!

:poke:No way, you can not get on a waiting list for another one until you get back on the one you already have, it's an unspoken rule. We are afraid you would just disassemble the new one too and we know your garage is just not big enough for two projects.......:lmao:

[Larry Callahan]

lol!!! I just need to hit the lottery and figure out how to make the days 36 hours long.

[6'9"Witha69]

Nice!!! Tony, where do I sign up on a waiting list? lol!At least this one comes with a billet cap!:enguard:

[boodlefoof]

Didn't you know? GM isn't taking the hydrogen route... they're going cold-fusion car. :D

Looks sweet! I really like it, but I agree that the windshield frame looks a little goofy. Blacking it out would look better than chrome/stainless in my opinion.

[TheRoaringEagle]

why aren't there any pictures of the top up? you think it'll look good? and is it a soft top or hard top?

[Nine Ball]

probably because the top doesn't work yet. I'd guess it was just a mock-up to give us a visual cue on the car as a convertible. Engineering the frame and top structure is something that will happen later, most likely.

[mikey]

I can see that in my garage err I mean my driveway as my garage is too full of projects. The neighbors and city really don't like non running partially disassembled cars sitting outside.:dunno:

[zbugger]

why is there a "radioactive" button on the dash?

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

I would assume, probably wrongly, that this is for starting the engine. Push button like the current Corvettes.

[Nine Ball]

Here are some more cool photos, especially the ones with Carmen Electra and CariDee. Those seem to be popular, lol.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gifObviously, the car will be motivated by atomic powered turbines. Like the Batmobile. Robin, we’re ready to move out…..

I'm guessing that might be traction control. It doesn’t look like a button to me, but the big on/off does.

[TonyL]

I can't see that being a traction control symbol. It's right next to the fan controls, but I still have no idea what that's about. It's the radiation symbol for sure. Odd choice.

[WOODY4144]

Does anyone know when the actual production date is set. And also, is there any GM stores that have started a waiting list?

[BonzoHansen]

I can't see that being a traction control symbol. It's right next to the fan controls, but I still have no idea what that's about. It's the radiation symbol for sure. Odd choice.Maybe the heat is via fusion.

It's the little arrow around it that got me thinking TC.

LOL, maybe the production wheels will look like radioactive symbols, and that really is traction control. HAHA

[BonzoHansen]

Oooh, I 'm right! What do I win?

[zbugger]

Ahem......

I don't see any place to insert a key into.

That's because it runs on Christmas spirit, Allen. You just have to believe.:santa3:
