Default Re: ZL1 Assembly Line

Just received from John Fitzpatrick- Marketing Mgr. for Chevrolet Performance Division:

"Dennis:

You are correct. We do not offer public tours of the Oshawa Assembly Center. I think the retiree is confusing the Camaro with the Corvette. Until very recently, we did offer a Corvette customer an opportunity to visit the plant and watch their Corvette being assembled. That program has been temporarily suspended as the Bowling Green plant is undergoing renovations in preparation for the NG Corvette.

Thanks,

John Fitzpatrick"

Yes ALL Camaro's that are street driven (NOT COPO'S) are built in Canada.

Thank you,

Dennis

Dennis, thanks for looking into that for Orley. I'm thinking that now he's looking for someone who works there to possibly get him through.....Boomer said that they used to do this at the Janesville plant.


Thanks again, Kurt

Congrats to Orlie who picked up his 2013 ZL1 Nickey Camaro yesterday at Todd Wenzel Chevrolet through Dennis Barker. Pictures courtesy of Boomer who took Orlie to pick up the car.

















What's really cool is it has the vacuum operated flapper to open up the exhaust under acceleration.

According to Boomer, eventhough the factory tires are pretty soft, they are no match for ZL1/LSA motor.
