FACTS about the 2010 Camaro - UPDATED 10-17-2007

There seems to be alot of debate over alot of different rumors going around.
Allow me to clear up some information, and state some facts.

I will be updating this as new information becomes availble.

FACTS ABOUT THE NEW CAMARO:

Camaro will be built at Oshawa Assembly.
Camaro Coupe production begins in October 2008 (first 30 cars).
Camaro will be in dealers in 1st Quarter 2009.
Camaro Convertible production begins around August 2009.
Camaro will be built on the Zeta chassis, a global RWD architecture.
Camaro will have IRS, because that's the only rear end that Zeta is engineered for.
Camaro's IRS will be very similar to the one found in the 2008 Pontiac G8.
Camaro will be priced competitively with equivalent-level Mustangs.
Camaro will be offered with 6-speed transmissions, manual and automatic.
Camaro WILL NOT be offered with an LS2 or an LS7 engine, because their life cycles for production cars come to a close before Camaro production begins.
TENATIVELY, Camaro should be offered with three engines at initial release: 2 V6s, and 1 V8. Engine sizes and horsepower numbers are not yet available.
Camaro will have a B-pillar, though it will be hidden behind a stationary rear window.

FACTS ABOUT THE CAMARO CONCEPT CARS:

The Concept Cars are speed-limited to 40mph.
The Concept Cars are rev-limited to 3000rpm.
The Convertible Concept has functioning insturment panel gauges, but does not have a top.
The Concept Cars are NOT on a production chassis.
There are 4 concept cars: Silver Coupe, Silver Coupe push car (Australia), Red Coupe push car, Orange Convertible.
The Transformer Movie prop Camaros are converted from production GTOs. Body panels were changed, interior is semi-changed, wheels are black steel 20s with covers on them that simulate the concept's brakes and wheels.
