Camaro presold 14k units
Camaro sold, in a month, 6k units. Thats nearly half of the orders from October to March, sold in 30 days, with a plant ramping up, on top of making cars for pre-sales.
Not bad at all.
Better indication of sales would be the Challenger or Mustang.
Unlike the GTO, the Camaro has both the performance and retro design that all the kids crave.
Unlike the GTO, the Camaro has a lower cost V6 option
Unlike the GTO, the Camaro has a vast and growing option list
Unlike the GTO, it can actually be made in vast quanities, and locally.

GM taking the GTO racing, and not drag racing, was a great idea.
And the GTO went "drag racing" anyway...if you call a fiberglass shell over a tube frame a GTO.

i'm just going to keep tossing have assed comparisons out there just to watch you wear out you keyboard
