So... Scott....
Did you started that book already??? We need to get that book as an added option for when I order my future wife's 2009? Camaro SS orange convertible with HUD and Gun Metal Stripes. 
Remember how she wanted a White one??? you made her change her mind since the convertible came out. lol
I am not the one to complain.

He said that he sat down and outlined like 25 possible chapters with (I think) Jason and Chris one night, but the book would be more about his experience at GM and not 100% on just the Camaro. But if you have ever sat down and listen to Scott talk, the man is full of great stories
+1 for taking this seriously one day Scott! You need to write this book!

Yeah, there will be a ton of books about the car. But what you don't see often, and what Scott is in a perfect position to write about, is a book about the process that creates the car. Much like ACAR, Scott's perspective is somewhat unique from most other writers, and certainly he should have access to most of the principals involved. The human stories he could tell would compliment the technical ones that will be published in abundance, I'm sure. I hope he does it.

welllllllllllllllll............I actually sat down with my laptop on a flight back from LA one night and just started to type.
...............and realized that I sounded psychotic!!!
Looks like I'll have to use a ghost writer...........
there IS a new Chevy site coming out in the next few weeks.....and I've been asked to write some articles for that site.
Thusfar:
>The Day the Panther Died --- about the summer of 1966.......and the announcement of the Camaro
>The first Camaro in Mars........
.......working on a few more..........

Based on the stories you told ... especially at some of the earlier events we crossed paths ... a compilation of short stories would make for an excellent book.
I'm especially looking forward to the '99 Hugger Orange chapter since that's the one that cost me the most.

So, I think you can tell us all this.. what's going to be your 5th gen like? what color, coupe or convertible? would you change the wheels or leave it stock?

I haven't decided yet.
I have to buy a couple of them.....one of them for "Mom" Settlemire. (some of you have met her......and she drives a 2002 Camaro "ES" --the red coupe in my signature.......)
She has threatened to ground me until I'm 82 if I don't get busy and build her a convertible. (she's 82 by the way.....) She wanted a Red Coupe -- until she saw the Orange Convert. in Cleveland -- now it's definitely an Orange Convertible..........
