That’s why it has become customary for Jack fans around the world to celebrate each day of September rather than miss the actual birthday.

And this year, one lucky person will be driving away in a 2012 Camaro SS1 V8 worth R1 Million, in celebration.

Muscle cars were originally developed by bootleggers during American prohibition, when ordinary cars were beefed up to outrun the law intent on cracking down on illegal whiskey trade. Though prohibition has long since fallen away, the love for the American muscle car and the free spirit it signifies, makes the Camaro a fitting choice for an American icon like Jack Daniel’s.

If you’ve anyone has ever experienced the Chevrolet Camaro you’ll they’ll understand why it has a reputation for making hearts race and palms sweat. Precision-engineered for speed and efficiency, the Camaro is styled to be unmistakable. Camaro was catapulted to popular culture stardom following the car’s role as Bumblebee in the 2007 film, Transformers and then again in the 2009 sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In fact, these two blockbuster movies helped make Camaro America’s best-selling sports car for 2010 and 2011.
