2010 Chevy Camaro
It been three years, the well awaited arrival of the 2010 Chevy Camaro rolled off the assembly line on March 16th, 2009 in Oshawa, Ontario. A lifetime of anticipation, It has taken way too long for GM to bring the this car to market.
Rick Hendrick, chairman and CEO of Hendrick Motorsports, made the trip to the Camaro plant in Oshawa to pick up the very first #001 of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.
IT WASENT A PRIZE! Hendrick wasn't just picked to receive the first Camaro. It cost him $385,000 after he made the winning bid for the car at the Barrett-Jackson auction in January.
Let’s look specifically at how Camaro stacks up against the venerable Mustang. For starters, the Camaro V6 generates 304 horsepower, while Mustang’s V8 tops out at 315. In terms of fuel efficiency, Camaro wins hands-down - the V6 will achieve 29 miles per gallon on the highway, according to the EPA, five mpg’s or better than Mustang. Camaro also has standard 4-wheel independent suspension that Mustang doesn’t offer. Camaro has 6-speed transmissions across the entire lineup, while you can still get a Mustang with a 5-speed.
Few people understand the significance of VIN #001, so General Motors had video cameras rolling to share the milestone with the world. Follow the jump to watch production of Camaro #001,
