Bite your tongue until it bleeds!

NEVER apologize for your enthusiasm! That's what we live for!

We work so hard to bring you great products-- and your enthusiasm tells us that we "did good!"


Yes -- I was in an orange shirt! Sorry I didn't get to see everyone -- but I hope you enjoyed "seeing my kids!"

[fbodfather]

OK-- I'll share a lil secret..........


It took 5.3 days to build a 4th gen Camaro or Firebird -- from the time the floorpan started to come together in the bodyshop -- until it would 'roar' to life at the end of the assembly line.

(........and it really IS something to behold..........)


The 5th gen will take a little over 4 days to build.............

...........sooooooooooooooooooooo................. .....


If 100001 is to come off the assembly line on Monday the 16th of March.........


WE'VE HAD CONCEPTION!!!!

meaning production actually started this week

I didn't know if you wanted me to say anything.

And yes, your "kids" are beautiful.

My dad actually ended up liking them a lot and he's usually hard to please with his taste in cars. He's still stuck to his 96 Z28 with 218,000 miles on the clock and is rebuilding the t-56 next week.

Any word on daily production rates during start-up and at full capacity?? Or is that a "Secret"?

That's a secret........

.......but let me say that the entire team at Chevy and at Oshawa Assembly are committed to bringing you the best Camaro ever.........PERIOD!

The first couple of weeks will be a slow ramp-up -- but be assured we want to get these Camaros out there to you -- as we know you'll have "perma-grin" -- and we LOVE seeing you with "perma-grin"........

mmmmmmmehhhh.......

He ain't so 'great' -- just a skinny guy (well -- he WAS a skinny guy) -- with glasses and braces from Mars, Pennsylvania -- that happened to love Camaros -- and realized a dream!

I'm kinda new here, but I gather you are a project engineer for GM. I think this car will be a huge success even in this economy.

My first car was a '74 Z28. My first New car was an '86 Iroc and I suffer today with a '69 Z11. Can you slip my 2SS/RS '10 to the front of the line for me. Promise I won't tell that "secret"!

Now...will the rear view mirror make me look 18 again?? That's how you sell these things!! I'd like $1.00 commish per car.

I was actually looking for Scott at the L.A Auto show. The Chevy Rep said he had left the day before, I was bummed but the silver SS was there that kind Of cheered me up. I will mention one thing, all the GM reps LOVE Scott, each and every one spoke highly of him. One person even started telling me his life story. It was interesting, but I hope to meet him soon once he is at the L.A Autoshow

[Tantalizer43]

Scott, you truly are the bee's knees! Anyone ever told you that??

Go click on his name and read ALL of his posts! Do a google search as well. You'll find out he's been keeping the Camaro alive for YEARS! ...and hekpin' us to keep the faith.
