Will be great to see the Camaro in action...

Daytona International Speedway officials announced the return of the Chevy Camaro as the Official Pace Car of the 51st running of the Daytona 500—the first Camaro to pace the field since 1969. “Chevy has been a great partner of the Daytona 500 for more than 30 years, and the Camaro is an automotive icon,’” said Speedway President Robin Braig. “This 2010 model will set the tone for a 21st century sports car, and that’s a perfect fit to lead the pack at the ‘Great American Race.’’ The 426-horsepower vehicle, powered by the 6.2-liter all-aluminum Chevy V-8, carries a PPG Cyber Grey paint scheme with a bold accent design befitting “The World Center of Racing.” A Camaro has paced the field just twice in Dayton 500 history, in 1968 and ’69, and this 2010 model is scheduled to hit showroom floors this spring. Built on GM’s new global rear-wheel drive architecture, the Camaro also will be offered in V-6-powered LS and LT models. Additional specs of the 2010 model pace car include:
· All-aluminum 6.2-liter V-8
· 426 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque
· Fully integrated strobe system, including a GM-designed custom light bar utilizing Whelen 500 series linear strobes
· 27-mpg estimated highway fuel economy
· Fuel-saving Tremec 6-speed manual transmission

This cant be true, all the nay-sayers here keep telling us the new Camaro will never be built.:confused:

I'm pesimestic, but look at it this way, think of the publicity that this could do for GM. It could increase their sales, bring in some much needed cash too. But, then again, this could be the last time that we ever see a Chevy again being The Pace Car. But time will tell.

Sorry to disappoint, the car is ready and saleable vehicles are rolling off the line already :D

Some people just love to kick someone when they are down :sad:
Some jealousy I think.

I'm watching the race and I wish they'd show some better shots of the Camaro Pace Car! I even googled 2009 Daytona 500 pace car and didn't get one hit..no pictures of the car?

I'd expect plenty of shots this week as people start posting them to various sites :D

I look forward to the day that I can drive up in my 67 and go for a test drive. I hope to buy one. It seems they say it will be at car lots in late March. But I have not seen not one TV ADD YET ON THE CAR WHATS UP WITH THAT GOOD MARKETING OR WHAT.
