Sorry but not likely unless they are a dual citizen or they are in upper management.

To get a US green card you would have to prove you are the only person qualified to do the job,and you would not be taking a job from a US citizen.

Just remember one thing:

Every Generation of Camaro out preformed the previous one.

I see no reason for this to stop now.

Uh...that is not a true statement.

1969 Camaro had better performance than the 1970. As the seventies moved on, the performance got significantly worse than the previous generation.

Not true. While the design is similar, the GM ones are 21". The SLP's were 20's.

Are the special edition cars really needed?.......

I think for the 6th generation any "special" edition needs to add something to performance for the car....

Agree! Plus no matter what ! These 5th Gen 1le's will be in higher demand than they are now !

Yea, I felt like the bumblebee and the Hot Wheels edition should've had extra HP!

The press release says this edition comes with 20's...

So, are they really the HW wheels, just smaller? Or the SLPs?

no offense, but we sold more 2013s than 2012s - and more 2014s than 2013s -- so it appears that not everyone agrees with you.

The team felt that we should do one more edition to commemorate an amazing generation of Camaro. That said - the real money is going into the next gen Camaro to blow your minds.

Further - I'd say that Team Camaro has done some pretty amazing stuff with this car -- such as the 1LE, the ZL1 and the Z/28.......again, reasons to disagree with you.

Team Camaro never rests......never.

The press release definition of "special edition" includes the phrase "limited-run models." Were the early Synergy Green models limited-run, or did they make as many as people wanted to buy?

If the latter, maybe that's why they're not included in the list, despite having Special Edition in the name.

beg to differ -- the 1970 Z/28 was faster on a road course than the 1969. It IS true that they got slower later in the 2nd gen as emissions and safety regulations took over - but the car has continued to improve in terms of handling. 4th gen outperformed 3rd gen and 5th gen outperforms the 4th gen.

The 2010 Synergy Green Camaros were special editions -- they were only offered as a 6 cylinder. Consumer (and Team Camaro) demand for Synergy Green allowed us to offer it for a few months in late 2010 as a 2011 model in both V6 and SS models....so the 2011 would not really be a special edition......
