Don't get me wrong, I'm keeping mine for probably the rest of my life, so selling isn't an issue. I just like that there are only around 1,500 of them and this is just adding to the total even though it's different.

Dude, its a new car. If you want a collectible car, invest in a 1969 Camaro or something around that time era.

So what's the cost on this? I don't know how, but I'm going to try and get it.

Also, will it be available in automatic? I can't drive manual. (I know, I suck)

While I agree with Rated X I'll also say that you can take solace in the fact that since yours is older than the 2012 special edition, it will likely hold value longer and better than the newest run. It won't be valued as much as the first limited edition 2007 run but let's face it, most folks getting this car aren't getting it for resale value, they are die-hard fans who want to get and keep a kick-ass tribute piece to an iconic franchise. It doesn't matter what year the car is, you roll by in "Bumblebee" and every fan-boy will want to be you and every fan-girl will want to jump in the back seat with you.


hmmmmm....hey, can I borrow your car Saturday night?

Good points, both. I'll love my car no matter what.

Borrow it? Hell, I barely let myself drive it!

That's awesome.

I think the TF kit was about an extra thousand bucks or so on the past models, but don't quote me on that. And dude, learn stick if you get this car!! I have the six speed and it is very, very fun and would actually be pretty easy for a beginner. Very forgiving shifter and smooth. Plus more hp.

During a Camaro meet up I met a guy that did some work outside of the typical package. Got a big black Autobot insignia on the hood, stitching on the leather console, couple other touches. I'd like to get the split stripes added to mine.

Remember the Transformers Special Edition Camaro that was announced back in June? Back then we only had mock ups to drool over, now thanks to the Camaro5 forums and Faces of GM have images and video of the actual vehicle. The Transformers Special Edition Camaro is due to hit dealerships next month.

It’s the little details — like Cybertronian symbols spelling “Transformers” on the spoiler, Autobot logos on the wheel caps and front quarter panel and an awesome interior with black leather seats and bright yellow stitching — that give this Chevrolet extra attitude.

“When you see this car,” says Barry, “you’re not going to think it’s a car, you’re going to think it is Bumblebee… and you’re going to be looking around for the other Autobots. How cool is that?” Plus, if any Decepticons show up, you’ll be able to handle them

I love F bodies (Camaros and Firebirds) I have owned one or the other since I was 17. I'm 32 now. My Seibertron name ends with 98ss, which is what I was driving at the time I made my name. I just can't get into this one though. The stripes are to far apart the wing is very 2000 ricer and the black rims are to bland (the autobot symbol in the middle is a nice touch though)

The last Bumblebee looked great. I would have to pass on this one.

I would rather have that black 1959 Impala sitting behind the Camaro if I had a choice of cars. Camaros are cool, but since there are so many of them around, they are kind of played out. How come Pontiac never made a special edition Jazz Solstice ???
