Nah.

I got to know Scott about 10 years ago when I initiated my public defense of the Z/28's honor - and future.

2010? That's just too bloody late. No IRS? That's taking a risk with the vehicle's credibility. Although I realize a live axle is more realistic for drag racing, and drag racing will be the Camaro's main performance territory, the press just doesn't give credibility to anything sans IRS.

I'm confident GM's brass will approve the Camaro. The devil is in the details though. Just how much of a Camaro will we get in the end?

Re: July GM High Tech Mag

Apologies for the misinformation. I knew that I didn't know his exact title, and I tried to be clear about that. Some of you seem to have overinterpreted "in charge of".

That sounds like "in charge of" to me.

Anyway, I apologize if I have misled anyone, and thanks to all of you for setting my story straight.

So, who is in charge now?

All of the guys here who seem to have inside information say 2008 as a 2009 model. Less than two years away.

I would rather have it later and perfected than now and unfinished. My 4th-gen keeps me happy in the meantime.

Most is wrongwrongwrong. Anyone that knows the answers is certainly, (at least I hope so) not stupid enough to leak info. to a magazine. (and by the way -- we didn't invite that magazine -- or any other, for that mattter) to any meeting.

Confirmed? DON'T THINK SO!

DAMN why did I not know this TODAY when my manager was telling me all that info, said he read it in GM Hi-Performance mag....I was telling him there is no way - Scott would've filled us in the instant he could......ahhh, well (as thread is printing), I'm actually looking forward to going to work tomorrow and proving him wrong

I did not see anything in that mag much that was whats what. The next gen engines are coming out and the LS1-LS2-LS6-LS7 all will be out dated by then. Also if the thing with Delphi is not settled nothing will be coming out and will put a hurting and others as well
