The race is May 29-31.Chevy expects about 1,000 Camaro fans to attend the unveiling. It's encouraging attendees to drive their Camaros to the island -- it's even offering "Camaro-only" parking for owners.“We wanted to share the moment with the customers and fans who have helped make Camaro both America’s favorite performance car for the past five years, and a cultural icon since 1967," Todd Christensen, Camaro marketing manager, said in a statement.The 2016 Camaro is expected to go on sale late this year or in early 2016, the first redesign since the current version hit showrooms in August 2009 after a seven-year hiatus for the iconic nameplate. The next-gen Camaro will move to GM's Alpha platform, which also underpins the Cadillac ATS and CTS. Production of the car is moving from GM's plant in Oshawa, Ontario, to the same plant in Lansing, Mich., that produces the two Cadillacs.
