I thought of a name for Red's book

"Women are from Venus, Camaros are from Mars":p

if only people besides boards where he uses that name would get the meaning of it:o

All Camaros are Red :D

Pretty good :D

Or to stretch it further, Camaros are from Mars, Mustangs are from Venus, since we all know Mustangs are the effeminate member of the pony car family ;)

Or, like I recommended a while back, "All Camaro's are Redplanets" :D

i've been saying for awhile it should be called "All Camaros are from Mars." :D i even just posted that dang title in another thread 2 minutes ago.

Or, like I recommended a while back, "All Camaro's are Redplanets" :D

I'm glad! I'm thinking you're going to have a sore hand after it gets shook off on Jan 9th. :cool: Can't wait!

Hand? Brothers dont shake hands...BROTHERS GOTTA HUG!!

How about "Uphill with a headwind: The conception, reconception, incubation, reconception, development, redevelopment and eventual release of the Fifth generation Camaro."

Critics will say that it reads faster than most Mustang books.

Good to know your in a good mood, that inherently means I probably should be too. :D

Here's my vote: "Keep the Faith"

Quick, this sounds like a job for Chevroletman, with his trusty sidekick, Pontiacman! Fighting import lovers and rice in all it's evil guises.

Hey, how about "Return to Greatness", or is that one taken already? :p

It is I, CHEVROLETMAN! Come on Scott, give Chevroletman a BIG hug (while my partner, Pontiacman, slips the keys out of Scott's pocket. Slashman pulls the firealarm, meets us out back, and VROOOOOM, off to Woodward AVE!

Nice..lets just hope there's a motor to crank up :D

Oh d*mn, thats the BEST.:bow:

not that I'm trying to avoid hugs (which I am...but hey....) I need to make something very clear here.

There are a lot of people at GM that feel very strongly about muscle cars..and Camaros in particular. If you love what you see in January...I can't take the credit for it. Yes, I've beat down doors....I have screamed and yelled constantly over the past 10 years.......and I won't let ANYONE forget how important the Camaro is to the enthusiast community...(and that community is far wider than just Camaro and Firebird) ...and I'm constantly putting in my 2 cents....to the point that if I got all those pennies back, I could retire and live well and have a kickass Camaro/Firebird collection..........................

........but if you love the design....you can thank some very talented designers within GM Design. I think it's very telling that Ed Wellburn drives a Camaro......that Tom Peters drives a Camaro......that many others drive Camaros and Firebirds.....names too numerous to go into right now.

I gotta tell you......I'm in love with this concept.

I mean......I'm in LOVE.

I haven't been this excited since the 93 unveil........or the 82..........or the 70.......or.......for that matter, as excited as I was on September 10, 1966.

(go ahead...ask me the relevance of that date!)

"El Presidente de Camaro" ;)

I think he used the ........ code stealth 86 was talkin about :lol:

does it look anything like GM's current offerings? is it a huge slab sided vehicle? does it have a short stubby frontend? are you even allowed to answer these questions? :o

RP,

I read that piece in Camaro performers, so I understand the reference. Will you be presenting the introduction?

Lastly, what do you think of the Challenger concept? Do you think it will help the Camaro unveiling that the concept pics of the Mopar are already out?

I will be there behind the scenes...many things have to happen in order to pull off an unveiling or press event.

As to presenting...I would suspect it will be Ed Wellburn or Bob Lutz.....no decision just yet.

But I will be beaming proudly......with a silly-assed grin on my face that won't leave.

Yes...Challenger is good ...competition is good.

Yeah, except that now I have to convince my wife that it is essential, not simply ideal, but that my very existence depends on having one of each:D
I am even pulling out the convertible card, I am not a big fan of convertiables, but she is;)

I want the first, post-debut interview! :D

I better be impressed. :D It better be red with black Z28 stripes and not retro. :lol:

Knowing how I am with Camaros, if I didn't like it, they'd have to watch out for me, not me watch out for them. ;) It's n/p though since I can't be there, I very much appreicated the invite though. :D

.......
PROOF!

Camaros are from Mars, Mustangs are from Uranus!

Thank you and everyone else who have made it a reality! That post made coming here the past few years that much more worth it:D I really can't wait for it. I wish i could see it in Detroit in person. To everyone going - I expect plenty of pics and videos. :) I can't wait for it!

The date, if i remember correctly, would be when your family's dealer got their first Camaro.

Camaros are from Mars, Mustangs are from Uranus!

PS did Sam Ramona (not sure if I got the name right.. but the gentleman at BG) have a hand in any "design study" that may show up in Jan.?
I'm not sure if I'm asking this right but where can we see Sam's other influence i.e. has he had a hand in other cars out on the road.. or some aspects of any vehicles...?
just curious.. I tried to talk to him at BG but didn't get to spend much time with him.. but the small "chat" we had was good..


I will be there behind the scenes

Scott.. I can just picture the unveiling with Maximum Bob driving unveiling the car and you peeking behind the curtains in the back with a tear rolling down your cheek. I wish I was there to snap a pic of it.. (whoever is going make sure you get his reaction.. it could be nice to include in the book)

Camaros are from Mars, Mustangs are from Uranus!

Damnit, I just laughed so loud in my cubicle at work here, its a little obvious now that I'm not doing my job :D What the hell, its lunch anyway...

Holy Cow! I wouldn't want them to get into Guy's Mickey Finn'd Merlot. :D

Slashman! Have no fear! After the debut, we'll have to make sure Merlotman doesn't stumble on to stage and give Maximum Bob a big hug, then stumble over to his Malibu Maxx SS and run over the press as he flies away on another heroic journey...

Which brings to mind the fact that I don't think Guy has formally accepted his new title yet ;)

Chevroletman,
You and I, Pontiacman, must keep the concept secure at all times. I think Scott should put us on 24 hr watch, after giving us the keys first ;)

Dun dun DUNNNNNNNNNNN (for some reason, that hasn't gotten old yet, but might soon :D )

Question then........without getting too far ahead.......

What is the best route of communication to say to the brass that be "This car kicks ass, I want one just like it!!!!!!#@$@#%#$^@#"

Furd listens to their enthusiasts; I wanna know how to be heard in a manner that could be more significant than text slathering over a message forum......

:yes:

would that be the 1st time you laid eyes on a camaro???/ :cool:

I can't wait to see what the 5th Gen is going to look like... :bow:

i've been sick for 3 days, and this thread just made me feel soooooooooooo much better :D

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

yup....my family has a Chevy Dealership in Pittsburgh....our first Camaro was delivered to the dealership on September 10, 1966. It was a Bolero Red Rally Sport Convert with the white bumble bee stripe....and it was love at first site. Back then, new cars were shipped with covers on them.....and it was mandatory (edict of the manufacturer) that you had to hide the cars until 'Announcement Day" (which was September 29, 1966.) So once the car was shuttled off to a field back in the woods where people couldn't see them...the cover came off......and I was simply bowled over......had to have one.

I hope in the future that there will be many young men (and women) that see their first new Camaro.......and are hooked, as I was.

i got a feeling from how happy you've been lately, i'm gonna get hooked all over again in January. :D

:D Just wanted to comment that Im very happy with all thats been talked about here over the past few years is finally comming to fruition. The [Red] Planets have aligned!:D

Camaros are from Mars, Mustangs are from Uranus!
:lol: :bow: I love it!! :D:cz28:

I've been hooked on F-bodies since I was 3 years old!! I'm not kidding. My parents had a '77 Firebird Formula, black, with a 350 SBC (Dad swapped out the old 301 for the 350;)) ... I LOVED that car!:) My Dad and I even got in a fender-bender with it, but we got it fixed and kept it. We also had a '78 Z28 when I was around ~10, then I got my 1st Camaro when I was 17 ('81 Z28). Now I'm happy to own my '02 Z28 (bought it new). If the 5th-gen is as appealing as you say, Scott, maybe I'll have to consider one of them for the fleet when the time comes?:thumb:

It is I, CHEVROLET MAN! Scott, the LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDIANRY ENTHUSIASTS have devised a plan to keep the concept secure. We will take possession of the concept at THE HALL OF JUSTICE (known to my wife as "our garage"). There, the League of Extraordinary Enthusiasts will keep it safe until January!
