Same thing happened to me too. Preetam and other guys are lucky, forget about we getting into the car, we dint even get a chance to touch it. Nimbleguru apart from those two handouts I also got a pen free which had this chevrolet logo on it

but it was worth a visit never the less. Was very much interested to see the tyre profile and this is what it had :
Front : 245/45 R20
Rear : 270/40 R20
Thanks a lot for those amazing pictures guys.

It is so mad. But honestly, its good that GM is at least showcasing what they have in their aresenal. IMHO, Ford and GM, both need to display some muscle and get the audience charged up.

Its a crazy idea, but couldnt they have launched the Cruze with a Yellow, blue or Red color as an option. That would have looked fab.

Sorry brother, that car was flown here from delhi.
And then it was transported by flatbed.
Even in the city, its not being driven around, but moved on a flat bed.

Let me tell you that GM has no plans of making this in RHD and sell it here. This is only a brand building exercise that they are doing. Well if they do decide to make a RHD, then may God save Honda with their V6 Accord !!

As for the specs, the Camaro SS with the LS3 V8 manual transmission shown here has a power output of 422 BHP. As for the price, it retails in the USA for around 12.73 lakhs. Add up 104% import duty to it, so that comes to around 26 lakhs. Add yet another 3-4 lakhs for the conversion, and you'll get the camaro as a direct import for 30 Lakhs. Yeah Baby, thats what I'm talking about!!

Consider yourself lucky too, you got a pen free

On a serious note, the Kropex guys were really helpful.
Asked them to pop the hood, which they didn't know.
Had to fumble myself and get it done

@prguru - Once I knew that I woudn't be getting the Camaro
broacher I was so depressed that the pen seemed lame, so didn't bother.
Also I was busy making sure that no one saw my
little embarrassing situation

.

BTW : I did see the new ANHC (black i guess) too.
Only 2 people were checking it out

PS: No offence to ANHC lovers though , I Love ANHC !

prguru · 31st March 2010, 13:13

@nimbleguru : I knew they would not be having any brochure for Camaro but went and asked out of curiosity. I also did checkout the black ANHC AT and also spoke to the honda representative who was present at that time and took his visiting card too

. Honda is one of my all time favourites drives.

Here's the funny part :

Wanted to get the broucher for SS, when ahead and wrote my details phone/mail-id/name/address in their register and got the broucher. Turns out it's beat's broucher (WTH ??). Duely asked the sales/rep girl for the Camero SS broucher...she just smiled sheepshily...
No camerao broucher

! Promptly striked out my details in their register and walked cooly as if nothing happened.

Hi N-Guru,

This is for you. A 2010 Camaro Brochure.

The Camaro looks awesome in red. Even better than the Transformers edition. Awesome picture brother.

Ace F355 · 2nd April 2010, 01:28

I see a lot of Camaro in parking lot of my college. It used to be very appealing last year when it was new in town but somehow I am getting bored by its design now.

thedreamcatcher · 2nd April 2010, 02:53

This is one of my favourite cars in addition to the Mustang, Charger and Challenger

The transformer logo really looks neat. Can we get it anywhere in Bangalore?
