GM’s attention to Details
I was checking out the pictures of the Camaro Concept introduction, They had the 69 Roger
Penske car and Jim Perkins 69 SS/RS to get the crowd worked up, I can’t believe that they brought out Jim Perkins “One Eyed” 69 SS/RS and No One Noticed the head light doors… I sure hope that they pay a little more attention to the New Camaro if they decide to build it. http://autoshow.msn.com/as/photopopup.as...le&spr=Ford

Re: GM’s attention to Details
Actually I think someone did make mention of the stuck cover, can't remember what coverage it was those. It does look goofy, I would have thought that they would have corrected it on the spot.
It's those damn Gremlins, they show up without any notice and the most un-opportune times. Wacky |

Re: GM’s attention to Details
The Smokey Yunick car and the Penske car were reportedly both Vic Edelbrock Jr cars.
What does a stuck headlight door have to do with GM's attention to details? Has every mechanical failure on all of your cars been caused by YOUR lack of attention to details? These cars were brought in, dusted, covered up, and were uncovered and started just before they were driven down the runway. Perhaps you should write a letter of complaint to Jim Perkins because his wife's 37-year old car got a stuck headlight door. I just get a little tired of all the GM-bashing.... -Sam

Re: GM’s attention to Details
“What does a stuck headlight door have to do with GM's attention to details?”
I am Assuming that GM put together and organized the unavailing of the Camaro Concept Vehicle. I did not mention anything about the Concept Camaro. There are about 10 other threads on the Camaro and Challenger to voice my Opinion on both cars. Call me ANAL if you like, But if I was running THAT show they would have been BOTH OPEN, or CLOSED. (preferably closed) Not HALF A$$ED looking like that. That looks like $hit with one open and one closed like that and whoever was in charge of putting that show on should have noticed the problem before rolling the car out in front of a few Million People behind a Marching Band to introduce the new Concept Camaro. if I were GM Brass I would be pissed. I don’t have to send Jim an email about his headlight door problem. Trust Me, he is aware of it now and I would be willing to bet that Jim Perkins is not a happy camper after seeing his Wife’s car introduced to millions of people looking like a pirate. I know I would be pissed. As far as “GM Bashing” is concerned; let’s just call it Constructive Criticism; I have a garage and driveway full of GM cars and trucks. Not a Ford or DCX in the bunch. I am going to purchase either a new Camaro Z/28 or Challenger RT SRT8 to beat on, I guess you could say the ball is in GM’s court, Lets see what they do with it………

Re: GM’s attention to Details
The stuck headlight door was unfortunate and I'm sure that folks at GM must not be happy about it.
When you have a scripted event like this one was, you have to roll Jim Perkin's car when you have Leann Tweeden with a microphone and a camera stuck in Jim Perkin's face. The cars were parked publicly inside the show, I don't think it would have worked to just leave one out of the sequence. And for all we know, that door popped open after the car started rolling. I don't see how it helps to get upset about it. What about the new car, did you like it, Mark? I think it looks great, and I'm looking forward to seeing the production version. I will buy one just as it is, but I would LOVE it if they just flattened out the front pointiness just a little bit! Mark, nothing personal from my side in all this, on me should we ever meet! -Sam 70 RS L78
