Camaro Mule car spotted again

Souce: wheelsmag.com.au

An Australia native spotted this VE Commodore-come-Monaro in traffic on a Melbourne street not too long ago and submitted it to wheelsmag.com.au.

The real deal - Corvette ZR1

Looking at the picture below (originally posted by Loggins on digitalcorvettes.com) it shows the clear section in the hood that we've specualted about covered in camo tape from the outside.



See this and more pics of the car from Laguna Seca here

Yellow Corvette at Laguna Seca

Was this a Corvette ZR1 at Laguna Seca this past week?
Take a close look at the two pictures below, the hood seems to be the same used on the current C6 Corvette, no sign of a hood bulge. Is GM toying with the media?




Look at the previously leaked images below, it does appear there is a buldge on the ZR1 hood




The image below is a C6 Z06 - that shot looks very similar to the Yellow car at Laguna Seca with the camo tape...

Corvette ZR1 at Laguna Seca?

As posted on blogs.motortrend.com

The blogosphere is blowing up this morning with word that GM has a prototype of its upcoming 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 in Monterey, California for the last race of the Amercian Le Mans Series season at Laguna Seca Raceway. Even juicier is the rumor that the ZR1 will be doing demonstration laps at some point over the weekend. If that's the case, it should be quite a show, as the ZR1 is slated to produce some 650 horsepower

GM posts picture of Camaro in Camo!

Fastlane.GMblogs.com posted a picture of Ed Welburn hugging a Camaro recently.
Our guess is the Ed is covering up the B-Pillar area

There are a few other minor things you can make out in this picture, what do you see?

See the blog entry here

Brandonppr from 5thgen.org 'removed' the Camo for all to see

Looks like the first year will be a 2010

We just received this from GM:

To answer some recent questions in cyberspace:

Yes -- the Camaro will have a key (versus pushbutton start)

Yes -- it will be a model year 2010 -- but we have not moved the 'start-up' date. We'll start building Camaros in the 4th quarter of 2008 -- and they'll be in dealerships in the first quarter of 2009

Yes -- the new Camaro will have a B-pillar. BUT - it isn't noticable from the outside. Think of a first gen with the rear window in the up position. The rear window will cover the B-pillar and there will be a weatherstrip attached. The B-pillar is necessary for several reasons -- the most important being: reduction of mass and structural rigidity

1969 Camaro body kits are here

This week there is a 1994 Chevy Camaro Z28 on ebay. The company selling it has created a unique 1969 Camaro body kit and has posted their prototype on ebay.

While this car was not built using a kit, it was hand built using steel panels. We are not sure if future models will be using a kit but they will be based on lower mileage CF4 Fourth generation Camaro chassis.

There are some body kits I like, and some I don't like. A favorite is the 1953 Commemorative Corvette by AATcars.com

hybrid Camaro?

Souce: BloggingStocks.com - Bryan White

Not much. At least not publicly. Projects like the GM Volt and E85 cars and trucks are there, but what about gas/electric hybrids? Nada. And the maddening part is, GM has the stuff to make it happen. What if GM came out with an iconic American nameplate (as in, a sports car brand) that had muscle and great gas mileage? Like matching a new hybrid system with GM's V8 Camaro (a Chevy product)? That could happen...but it's not. Why not?

GM has the Volt coming about the same time as the Camaro Convertible hits showrooms all over the world. Personally, I see hybrid sports cars in the form of a Saturn Sky or a Pontiac Solstice, those are much better suited then the heavier Camaro/Zeta platform.

Camaro concept in Orange County

Chevy brought out its large array of Corvettes but the main attraction lay with the brand new Camaro, which is intended for release in 2009.

The convertible version of the Camaro was on display, showcasing the realm of possibilities the company is exploring within the next year.

The final design is not set for the convertible version, but representatives at the show confirmed that the body style is set in stone, if not for a few tweaks that will be made to meet safety regulations.
