We've been waiting a long time for this one. As someone who learned how to drive in a Z28 and had the pleasure of seeing the Camaro Concept unveiled in person at the North American International Auto Show, reading over the details of Chevrolet's 2010 Camaro is another step closer to the holy grail of Camaro enthusiasts everywhere- actually driving one.

There will be plenty of time to hem and haw over public reaction and my own personal thoughts on the long awaited return so for now lets get straight to the details.

Here's what we've learned from the official release:
