One of the members on my site said he is almost positive that he saw the 2010 Camaro driving around Maple and Transit yesterday. It was black

So keep your eyes open and take some pics if you happen to see it! 🙂

Dude, hook me up! 🙂  
I got to ride in the 93 Camaro mule. I want to get dibs on a 2010 for a ride before they get out.

USUALLY not a good thing when you see a test vehicle in this area. It means it’s going to be crash-tested at that place in Buffalo.

True. But there is also a testing area at the engine plant too.  
And I don’t think they crash the mules since they aren’t final production. I thought it was final versions of the car they crash test at Calspan.

it is because we have sold them before… must be purchased from a dealer just as a normal customer would so it keeps the vehicles random

there is at least one 2010 camaro that has been at delphi lockport, they also have been doing airflow testing on it at their test labs in amherst. so most likely it is a confirmed siting as they do drive it back and forth between locations.

thats for the OFFICIAL ratings.

i know plenty of pre production mules die the crashtest fate, especially if they were never issued a vin. after a mule spends a year being slammed around the “rough road” test track or something, what ya gonna do with it anyways ?

smash car into wall  
collect data so theres no major surprises on the production car  
send car to crusher

Funny you say this because I was at Delphi last Tuesday in the wind/testing tunnels for work and could have swore I saw the back end of this car in one of their garages.

or to a junkyard, where a guy sees a split window corvette, and decides to buy the shell to restore at a later date, only to find out upon attempting to order parts that his VIN “doesn’t exist in the computer for part matching”…further investigation reveals its a 63 split-window prototype Z06 one of nine made…lol (friend of bonacci’s from work…he paid 15K for the car and its almost finished…worth about a quarter to half million)
