Chevy has a proven track record of terminating for cause employees on the inside who give out unauthorized information. But a flyover would be cool.

Shoot, when they were starting to build the 2010 Camaro we had all kinds of spy shots posted on C5. Those Canadians kept us all in the loop. The workers at GB must be scared or something.

A couple of those Canadian employees lost their jobs. Doubt me if you will, but note the name I use on this forum.

In the lead up to both the C6 and the Gen5 there did seem to be more info, and C6 regular production did start on the expected date. Gen5 started on March 15, exactly 4 weeks later than the first announced date.
The reason we knew so much about Gen5 start up problems was more to do with initial retail deliveries being recalled while at the same time hundreds in the transportation pipeline remained in staging areas until fixed. I do not recall Chevy even admitting those in the staging areas needing any specific fix altho it was easy to figure out what was going on. But I thought then and think now Chevy could do a world of good by stating up front what is going on. I am certain we got more info from BG Assembly in the summer of 2004 then we are getting now, but that is my memory and I have not figured out how to check it. Chevy has always been aggressive toward leaks, what made the Camaro leaks newsworthy was the extraordinary lengths Chevy went to to identify then discipline the leakers. Laborsmith |

I think your right on that memory of yours Laborsmith. No big deal on the info from the plant. They will figure out the issues and build them when they are ready.
