Megan is the improved version of Stacey Slater don't you think?
Good film though, everything looked so real.

Hi there
GM could not get them built in time so they gave the blue prints to Saleen.
I believe Saleen got two Pontiac GTO's and then basically built them into the Camaro from the blue prints provided by GM. Or I maybe completely wrong and Saleen built them from scratch. Either way Saleen did the cars and thats how the new Camaro will look. As its a GM car one can expect it too cost circa £30,000 so good price too.
What you see on the film is the new Camaro scheduled for launch from GM in 2009/2010. Its gonna be one hell of a car with some of the latest technology and will no doubt get the Z06 engine too at some point.

Hi there
Some proper info:-
Saleen Builds Bumblebee
There was not a moving 2009 Camaro when the filming for Transformers was set to start. Although Saleen is typically known for building super fast Fords and the Saleen S7, the movie’s transportation coordinator, Steve Mann, knew that Saleen could build the best production movie cars possible.
Bumblebee started its life as a Pontiac GTO, the vehicle that most closely matched the size of the new Camaro. The GTO also had an adequately sized V8 engine that would work well as a like power plant to the new Camaro.
“Basically, it was reverse engineered by our build team,” says Bryan Chambers, general manager at Saleen’s Troy facility. “We were given some data and some selections and wheelbase drawings by GM. Then we cut and cobbled from there.”
Saleen builders cut the body of the GTO down to the floor boards, even removing the rocker panels and replacing them with steel tubing that would eventually make up the structure of the Camaros. This was done to alter the car, while maintaining its structural integrity.
The first running 2009 Camaro concept took Saleen just 30 days to complete, and both were done in less than 45.

Very true
Although you just know Stacy Slater would be dirtier in bed
Its a good film. Sadly hampered by the idiot behind the camera but nonetheless I've seen it 3 times now.
Even though I'm a big TF fan and have about 30 TFs on display in the front room (much to Mrs Eddscotts disgust) I liked Die Hard 4 better.
If I win the lottery I will buy a mustang and give it the "Barricade" look.

Because she is a skank and the robots are the best part of the film.
Great action, great cars, rubbish plot...it's what you need in a film!
