We all know how carefully Scott picks his words (and how we overanalyze every syllable). So let me be the first... He did say your friend didn't see the "silver" camaro. It might have been a white one?! Right?

Holly Crap! My friends, friend's, garbage man's, cousins, step-brothers, uncle just saw Chewbacca and Greedo driving the Convertible concept on Highway 1 near Malibu.

I told him I didn't believe him, because Chewbacca would never be seen with Greedo.

He then told me that his friends, friend's, garbage man's, cousins, step-brothers, uncle knows a lot about cars and that the orange convertible concept had a Z28 HEMI.

Wow!!!!

It was headed to Santa Monica, so everyone out there keep your eyes peeled fro Chewy!

Jay Leno has the money and ability to build his own 5th gen look-a-like, if he was so inclined...and being a big time collector, I'm sure if there were a way, he'd be the one to pry one from the General too tho...

Just for thought...If GM wanted to have "quiet" testing why in the hell would they give a car to a celebrity? duh.....

There will be plenty of time to promote the car later with celebrity endorsements, etc... I think that they are more concerned with getting a quality product out now through testing.

Patience people patience.....

I won't go anywhere near as far as you have above. However, the point was made that:

1. Jay Leno didn't keep a 5th gen prototype for his personal use outside of GM photo ops, and the idea that he drove one down to the local grocery store was completely the product of someone's imagination.

2. If someone spotted a silver, quad-circular tail lit car they didn't immediately recognize on the 210, it wasn't a Camaro.

3. At least 2 Camaros are here in the US (pics of them still on the cargo pallets at LAX started circulating shortly after this thread started).

4. With the 210 corridor housing a large number of pacific rim car company HQs, west coast HQs of US car makers, and quite a few design & fabrication shops for both concepts and tuner cars, and the fact that there's a ton of real world testing done on LA freeways, especially the 210, it's very possible if not a given, that someone might get a glimpse of one of the Camaros. If not on the 210, then around the LA or SoCal area.... since that's where the car came in the country.

I have a fellow LT1 camaro friend here in Columbus who called last week saying he saw a "new camaro, silver with black stripes on I70" during day light hours. He's not the type of guy who would randomly make up something like this. I hope I'm quick enough with my phone camera to get a picture if I spot one.

There are multiple vehicle testing facilities in/around Los Angeles. I worked for one. You can often catch camo'd mules and pre-production cars heading out of the city very early in the morning as they go on their 400-500mi routes to log miles. Watch them head back into the city around 3-4pm.

If Scott said the Camaro isn't in california right now, it probably isn't. But that doesn't mean something else isn't out there, be it GM, or another make. Tell your friend to snap a pic next time

while the Silver car has seen a couple of city streets -- and yes, Leno drove it into Bob's one evening -- but that was it -- the Silver car wasn't on the freeway -- it is speed limited to 50mph or less............

No -- none of the cars from LAX either --

Cars WILL be in Mesa at the Desert Proving Ground, Milford Michigan, Kapuscasing (sp??) Canada (cold weather testing) -- that's about it for now!

I drove by the Mesa DPG sat... it was dead.. even the track was quiet at my secret photo spot.... Guess i should make this a daily occurrence now!
