Re: hemmings muscle machines

Phone call from GM Security?!? This guy is either lying or the pictures were fakes, everybody knows that if he had real pictures of the Camaro black Tahoes would have instantly swarmed the building and ........................... must not talk about the black Tahoes .

Yep...if his pics were real, GM wouldn't more then call him and ask him if he had "real pics." They'd show up at his office and have his computer search/seized. It is a matter of business secrecy. It could affect the companies value by letting the competition in on secret info for one-in which case the gov. would be all over it. and two, GM would want to know where the pics came from. They wouldn't just call, ask, and let it go.

edit: For the record, Guionm, and z284ever have Camaro pictures. Anyone else want to be added to the list.

He described it and you said it sounded right.

I really find it hard to believe that anyone has pics of it at this point. One thing is that most people (besides those on this site that pay close attention), real car guys, didn't know about the Camaro coming out till a few weeks ago. We've been privedged enough to be in the know, and are very greatful our friend has been able to drop in time to time.
The thing is that since it was relatively unknown, there probably weren't alot of people snooping around trying to get pics of a car that thought was terminated years ago. This car also seems to be alot more important than the z06 pics, and with that, and various pics escaping GM in the last year, I really doubt a camera has been in the same room with anything related to a Camaro. I mean, heck, within GM, only a few people knew about the plans for this car. That sort of accounts for some high up sources not being in the know.

P.S. Z284EVER, my post was not meant at all to be an insult, things can be read in a differnet tone of voice over the internet. I am just trying to seperate fact from fiction, and fact from haze.

Yep. Personally, if I had the pics, I'd just delete them. If we've waiting this long, why not wait a few more weeks. It'll be an official grand suprise, as opposed to something we saw 6 months ago and we're now bored of it.

Re: hemmings muscle machines

Since the Camaro "died" I had been looking all over the place for spy pics or any glimmer of hope that it would be back. Now that we have been told that a "Camaro-enthusiast oriented concept" will be shown at Detroit I have completely stopped looking for pictures. Sure I see drawings and ideas on various boards just in general, but I have stopped actively seeking them out. Maybe I am sick of all the speculation, maybe it is because NAIAS is so close, but it is definitely NOT because I am any less interested in a new Camaro. I can't wait for January .

Welp, guess I was wrong. I really thought GM had a hold on their security, guess not. Most likely these are old pics and the source waited a while to release them.
