He sounds just like most of the democratic presidential candidates...he's pandering to whoever he is standing in front of. If he were in front of a Camaro Club gathering, he would be talking about "what an honor it was to build the Bumblebee Camaros" and "how great it was working closely with GM on the project"....
If he was so "anti-Camaro", then he would have turned down the movie project altogether and would never have allowed his car to be "shown up" by a Camaro. But, in reality, he is a businessman. And, it was good business to get his car in a movie, it was good business to replicate the Camaro's for GM, for the movie (possibly building a future relationship with GM), and as much as he knocks it, GM "bying their way into the movie" was good business. It was also exactly what he was doing when he "approched Michael Bay about having an S281 star in the movie". Sorry Steve, but GM just has deeper pockets and could afford to pay more for product placement. Oh, GM also offered a wider range of products than Saleen does, to use in the movie (Camaro, Solstice, Hummer, Top Kick, etc).
As for that being a V6...doubtful...were there any GTO's built with V6's? I didn't think so, but I could be wrong. I mean, we all know that the Bumblebee's were redressed goats.
I wouldn't take anything he said in that video as anything more than pandering to the crowd. It's what he's supposed to do for that crowd. If it was a different crowd, it would have been different comments.
