When General Motors announced the demise and death of their High Performance Vehicle Operations it quickly put a bad taste in a lot of hopeful 2010 Camaro SS owners who saw their dreams of owning a new Camaro SS crumbling right before there eyes.  Fortunately for those owners, GM spokesman Vince Muniga stepped up to the plate and told Edmunds Inside Line they will go ahead with plans to produce the 2010 Camaro SS.

Vince Muniga also goes on to say the "Camaro SS, Corvette ZR1 and Corvette Z06 are all regularly engineered cars," and "They did not go through HPVO.  Most people did not realize that. They are safe."  Performance vehicles under the HPVO umbrella which got the axe include the Cadillac CTS-V, Cobalt SS and HHR SS.  HPVO employed some 60 engineers working at GM's Warren Tech Center.  Instead of laying off those engineers GM will place them in other parts of the organization.
