The Camaro in Australia?

When Holden designed the Commodore fundamentals it made them flexible enough to be the starting point for a whole range of large, rear-wheel-drive cars. In the giant that General Motors used to be, there were no end of possibilities.

However, GM could see the traffic lights changing ahead and didn't know whether to accelerate or brake. It ended up doing both, but before other projects could get traction, ran out of money. Apart from a few Commodores rebadged as Pontiacs, the Chevrolet Camaro is the sole result.

It went on sale stateside a year ago and enthusiasts here were left holding their breath. The Camaro has a special place in Australia's racing history as a two-time winner of the touring car championship in the early 1970s, driven by Bob Jane. Kevin Bartlett twice put the car on pole at Bathurst.

Another Pontiac Camaro conversion?

This was posted to MotorCrave this week, looks like someone is working on a Pontiac conversion kit for the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro!  While this is  not something I would ever be interested in, there must be enough interest for companies like this to put up the money for R&D.

Chicago Blackhawks custom Camaro

One of the most stunning cars to hit the McCormick Center showroom this weekend isn’t made in some off-site factory and it's definitely not a Hybrid.

The Blackhawks custom Camaro is all muscle.

“This thing is a beast,” said Jhan Dolphin, vice president of RealWheels. “When we were asked to create a Blackhawks Camaro, the idea was just too cool to say no.”

The vehicle magicians at RealWheels, a Gurnee company, created the attraction for this year’s Auto Show in just a matter of weeks.

But it wasn’t easy to pull off. RealWheels isn’t a custom shop. They’re a parts manufacturer, so when they make a custom car, they truly customize it.

Camarotracking.com - Using technology to communicate with domestic car buyers

Ever ordered a new car and felt helpless and alone from the time you place the order and get the call that the vehicle is ready to be picked up? They would call the dealership or GM's Customer Service number only to get ambiguous or poorly detailed information. Some 2010 Camaro buyers felt the same way and they came up with CamaroTracking.com

There were so many Camaro buyers dismayed by the buying experience (due to back orders) that they decided to create a website which allows GM customers to find as much information as possible regarding their current status on their ordered car. CamaroTracking.com was developed to let customers of the new Camaro track the status of their order and their car as it moves thru the entire production process.

We have found this to be a great resource and a great starting point for customers to track progress of other makes and models! Check it out today and let us know what you think.
