unibody or not?
first time poster, long time lurker...
this is one question that i havent really seen the answer spelled out.
is the new camaro going to be a unibody car like all previous, or will it feature a full frame? im assuming the latter based on the engineering sketches, but im not really sure.
thoughts?

You say you're assuming a full frame based on engineering sketches.
Can you name a single all new full framed car that's come out since the late 1970s?
Or better yet, can you name a single full framed Camaro that GM's ever made?

Blow me up Tom.
I miss listening to him. They used to have him on live here in Detroit, now he's on in the middle of the night on tape.

well i guess im wrong i could have sworn it had a frame but i cant find any pictures of one so ill have to say u are right.
by the way the birdcage does not refer to the fact that its a unibody. it is the steal structure that helps support the fiberglass body
