GM Builds 100,000th Camaro in One Year

posted in: kwikfilms garage, news on March 10, 2010 at 11:04 PM

Can you believe that GM has produced its 100,000th Chevy Camaro in less than a year? Well it’s true. It was announced last week a Inferno Orange Metallic Chevy Camaro SS rolled off the assembly line at Ottawa, Ontario plant. This is the first major landmark for the 5th generation of the Chevy Camaro. Currently, the Camaro is outselling its rival, the Ford Mustang. However, the 2011 Mustang is offering more power and improved fuel economy. It looks like the pony wars are in fuel swing!

Additional News from the Geneva Motor Show last week, when asked by an Australian journalist how the right-hand-drive Camaro was tracking, Lutz said: “Not good. It’s been pushed back, perhaps indefinitely.” Lutz confirmed a right-hand drive Camaro was not that high on GM’s priority list. Weak projected sales numbers from the key right-hand drive countries were the problem, Lutz said.

I think tuner companies need to start building special editions of the Camaro. Because Ford has Shelby and SVT. So GM needs to step it up in the performance department. The Transformers edition was a pretty cool concept.
