Here's the new '10 Camaro in my driveway. It's a beauty and is sure turning heads on the street. People snapping cell-phone shots and giving me the thumbs up left and right.

This is just a quick snap when I first got it home, nice and clean. I am hoping for some better weather than we've had the last few days. So many photos I want to take and so much driving I want to do !

Nice! Have fun with it. And, just as a heads up, one of my 'Cudas was that color. I called it "Cop-Catcher RED". :D

They're out!? lol I'm so behind, I havnt seen any here yet in my area of Tampa. There's very few (maybe 1, 2 tops) ZR1's that I've heard of as well.

Post up some more shots! I wanna see it all, inside and out :D

I saw a Yellow one weeks ago going North on Lake Ridge road. I couldn't believe it. Such a gorgeous car on the road.

VR6 - they're not out yet at the dealerships. More shots coming.

Saw - there are a about 5 of them on the road around town. I know who was in the yellow one.

They're all part of the captured test fleet.

FrankC - I pulled up beside a cruiser the other day and got a thumbs-up from the officer. But you're right - I'm wary ....this sled can haul.

Very cool! Looking forward to seeing some more pics!!!

I know what you mean about turning heads and snapping pics... I had an early 2005 Mustang... same thing... was rather comical!

Thanks for all the comments gang. It is a beautiful car!

This is an SS model; V8; 6.2L engine; automatic transmission (6 speed manual is standard) ~ 425 hp. 20 " tires, Brembo brakes; all leather interior; Boston Acoustic sound.

More pics coming - it's been snowing off and on for about three days; this has the Z-rated tires - useless on snow. My driving time has been limited.

So I have been waiting for the weather to clear to get some more miles on it and some more shots.

Cheers.


Out my front door - enough with the white stuff.

Nice car! My brother collects cameros. Right now he has a "69" as his number 1, and a "68" as his number 2. (driver) He also ordered a 2010. Waiting for the 2010 to do a family shot.

It is a pretty neat looking car. I wish the designers would have stayed closer to the lines of the 69 cars. This was originally the concept. We would all like to hear more about it and see more pics. Thanks!

... the auto is only in the 1SS package with the 400hp engine, the M6 is only in the 2SS package with the 425hp engine.

or at least thats what GM's spec sheet on their site says.

badass car either way, i wouldnt mind having a black on black 2SS camaro.

No worries guys. I have a garage. I also have an obligation to test this car in elements that real customers use it in.

I've had the 6 speed out for a spin - lots of fun as any stick is. This automatic is the one that came with my name on it.

More exterior shots. I'm going to try to snap off a 'no look' shot of somebody hanging out the window to give me the thumbs up. The enthusiasm to this car has been great !

Those things are fugly (jmo)!! They could have done a better job on making it retro.Dodge did a way better job than gm. How did you manage to snag one when they dont come out for awile yet,Just curious.

It's got character, attitude ,it demands respect from the instant you see it, wow.;)
Living in the Uk we don't often get to see muscle cars, that's not to say we don't like em, cos we do:D
Thanks for showing us, its nice to see Camero has kept with traditional but incorporating modern lines.

Looks so old now after shooting pics of it for what, the last three auto shows in Detroit? ;)

Have fun, front engine/RWD is the only way to make a real car. If you ever show up in Detroit and want to drag a Mustang...

This car has the 6.2 l, V8 engine with the automatic transmission. 400hp. The 6 speed manual tranny on the V8 is 426 hp.

The concept for this vehicle was announced at the 2006 NAIAS in Detroit. The production model stayed pretty true to the concept.

In August 2006, GM announced that the Camaro would be built in Oshawa, Ontario.
