With
the return of Chevrolet's Camaro all but certain, we're pretty much reduced
to playing the speculation game over option levels... and waiting. In the
meantime, as thoughts of smokey burnouts and parking-lot doughnuts pepper
our imagination, click on over to Popular Hot Rodding's website via the link
below to read the behind-the-scenes story of the Camaro Concept's battle to
go from the drawing board to the floor of the 2006 Detroit auto show. The
author of the story wisely lets designer Tom Peters (a veteran of the 2nd-
and 3rd-gen Camaro) tell the story, with several paragraphs of direct quotes.
If you're a Camaro fan, it's a great read, and even if you're not, it's
still an interesting piece of insight into what it takes to move a concept
through corporate red-tape.
