I went out to breakfast with my regular bunch of buddies this AM,, and one of them shows up with a smerk on his face and some papers. When we asked him"What do you got there Johnnie?" he shows us the window sticker off the first new Camaro in town here and said it arrived on Thursday and he and the wife took it for a ride and decided to buy it. Its a V6-6speed manual, all black, LS model with few options, but it looks good (we all opened up the dealership at 8:00AM to see it). They told him he can't take it home yet because they can't "debut" these cars until May 4th, so it has to stay in the showroom. We told him thats a bunch of crap, but he said that was the agreement,,,Strange huh?
So we checked another dealership across town and they are just now unvailing their red RS also a V6 but an automatic. It hadn't sold yet but they too said something about the May4th date, but people can come in and see them until that date. They also said no V8 cars are out there yet,,,has anyone else heard about this? A friend of mine asked the salesman about ordering a SS model and was told it probably wouldn't be here until August!! I'm not sure what the holdup is,,, but I'm sure someone here knows why.
One thing,,,if you're over 6 feet tall like I am don't get the sunroof,,your ceiling clearance is Zero. The one without the sunroof is okay. They sure look good in person. I can't wait to see one in Stock or Superstock trim. My 2 cents,,,,,,,,,,,Danny Durham
