I read a thread on here stating that GM would produce 30 Camaros in October and more and more each month....shouldn't they be producing like at least 10-20,000 a month?

GM says the Camaro will hit showroom floors Jan-March 09....Can I still order a new 09 in the Fall with all the options I want and what not? :roxor:

Thanks!

Welcome:hello:

The first 30 are just initial and they will ramp up production as Jan approches.

Yup, what brandon said.
They'll increase production quickly after the first 30 are built in October, and probably be running full strength by mid-January I would guess.

Thanks!

I've never bought a brand new car....but can I order an 09 in Sept-Oct of 2009 and check off the options and what not...you know, like take delivery of it ? :BangHead:

I might wait for a '10 incase the 09's have bugs in them :lol:

 

[OctaneZ28]

I doubt the 09s will have any bugs.

That's what the Holden Commodore (2007-up) and the Pontiac G8 (2008-up) are for.

What about the vette, didn't the 07+ laters get a less powerful engine or something? Could be the opposite for the camaro lol

Indeed!

Those first 30 will probably be test subjects, Crash cars ( ) and possibly even mag review cars . With as many as they want to sell each year, I don't think they will have any issue making enough by the time they start shipping them to the lots. :gr_patriot:


Obviously, number 1 will probably go into the GM collection me thinks....

I could be a little wrong on some of this, But I at least hope they allow someone to flog one of those cars so we can all have smokey burnout backgrounds on our PC's and for posters!!! :roxor:

But how long in 09 until you can't order the 09's new anymore? lol

 

[OctaneZ28]

I'm pretty sure all the crash test and other pre-production cars will happen BEFORE these initial 30.
These 30 are production, saleable cars, VINs #00001 thru #00030.

GM keeps #1 and #2, and a certain Fbodfather has claimed #3, so #4 will the the first one up for grabs.

Model year 2009 will be a little bit short, as model year 2010 will probably start production in late June 2009 (normal model year change time).

But how long in 09 until you can't order the 09's new anymore? lol

Not sure, I would wager most of the year.


EDIT : I stand corrected!!!

Grats to the Fbodfather!!!

Maybe he will take care of our thirst for Rubber scorching pics?!?!?

I ordered a 96 Z28 in April of 96 and after 4 weeks of waiting I was told I missed the cutoff.:BangHead:

 

[OctaneZ28]

Wow. that's an EARLY cut-off!
