Default 2010 Camaro Test car impounded by Canadian Police!

Unconfirmed as of yet but word is one of the new Camaros was impounded under Ontario's 'Street Racing' law last weekend!.
With our tough new laws here any car doing more than 50 Km. (30 Mph) over the posted limit is impounded for 30 days and supposedly some 'lucky' test pilot/engineer type guy got nabbed near Peterboro' which is less than an hour of the Oshawa assembly plant..
If true, I wonder if GM can pull any strings and spring it or not?.
It's supposed to be a Silver one and I know the lockup yard where it went so will follow up w/ any more info and the Vin if possible?.

I watch that speedo like a Hawk now! Where I always slip up is when the limit goes from 100 down to 80

I live about 12 miles from Peterborough. Around here it seems that everyone in the country who complains, gets a 50 mph or even 40 kph speed limit sign put up in their area. The only way to get to town is to take the main highways...unless you have all day to get there. I'll keep an ear open regarding the Camaro. Someone will get their hands slapped
