Humongous Quarter StampingThe Camaro's rear quarter-panel stamping is almost 10 feet long, and encompasses the rear quarter panel, the C-pillar, roofline, and A-pillar. It is the deepest stamping draw GM has ever attempted, and the stamping die was designed 113 times before it was finally right. (Stampings this complex often tear or wrinkle the metal long before it reaches its final shape, so this represents a technical and styling milestone.) The continuous panel eliminates many gaps and seams, creating one smooth, gorgeous body contour. Attachments:

You mean the one that was "Closer than it appeared" in our rear view mirror?

Wow! Looks good and a smooth tight fit to boot. Certainly one of the larger bras I've seen. What is that, about a triple G?

The V-6 MiracleIn strict engineering terms, the 3.6L direct injection V-6 in the Camaro is the Immaculate Conception of powertrains. It makes 304 hp with two fewer cylinders than a GT Mustang's mill, and does it on 87 octane with an 11.3:1 compression ratio, while pulling down 29 mpg on the highway. The only reason tree huggers don't like it is that Chevy stuffed it in a car that looks too cool for them. Attachments:

Okay, okay, I took Vipers out of the title, thanks for pointing that out Robert! I love a keen eye for the obvious. But, now that I think of it, I didn't get any photos of the winery either......... And.......BTW........I'm the Camaro guy.

I found out today that his name is Edwin. He hasn't been on our new site here yet, But I gave him the info, so hopefully you will hear from him soon. When are you coming up to join us on one of our runs? The closest we have come to you so far as I know is Kingman, but there have been rumors of a Lake Havasu run.

Here is another............. Console USB PortThere's nothing new about MP3 compatibility. For years, you've been able to jack your iPod or MP3 player into most stereo systems with a simple 1/8-inch stereo phone jack. Some newer cars will even let you plug your iPod or MP3 player in through a USB port, so you can simultaneously play tunes while charging your player. The Camaro takes it a step further. You can load all your tunes on a simple USB flash drive--not an expensive player--and the Camaro's audio system will read the MP3 file right off the drive. USB flash drives are dirt cheap: a 1 gig jump drive--enough to hold about 20 CDs worth of material--costs about $7. Even better: the Camaro's USB port is out of the way in the back of the center console. Attachments:
