The '67 (may be hitting the street as my daily driver since I wrecked my S15)

My '93 that was totaled.

300 Horsepower V6. The '93 tuned down LT-1 made 275 horses. I love technology sometimes. Like when it can find oil somewhere that we don't need to send soldiers to baby-sit the commodity.

But you're comparing the high revving HP of a DOHC V6 to a torquey V8. How bout 273ft-lbs @ 5k vs 325ft-lbs at 2.4k. The LT-1 excelled at being unruly, capable of completely destroying a set of tires through an intersection and having the inexperienced facing the wrong way after making a quick U-turn. With 15 year in suspension, tire, transmission, and engine design the 3.6 Camaro is a teddy bear in comparison even though it may be able to closely match an early factory LT-1 in speed.

Edit: I hope the 3.6 being in the Camaro brings out more Supercharger and Turbocharger kit makers. Kinda sad to see this engine family widely ignored by GM performance fans while the Ecotec and LSx get all the good stuff.

Am I the only one that thinks it looks too much like the current Nissan Sentra....at least in overall egg shape.

This almost makes me want to sell my GTO and get a G8 GXP... almost. Sell the Coupe 60, and almost, would turn into definately.

Though, why only 402hp? The 6.0L in my GTO makes 400. Hopefully final numbers are edged up to 415-420 range.

I hope you do realize that the improvements of the LS3 over the LS2 make it a better performer, and adding a few more hp is just weener waggling.

Where are the engines...in the Olds Museum the display the egniees with the cars...

Why does this look as if it be right at home in the 1990s....

How much would this cost?

Likely more than really good projector and screen...

It is a Vette thing.

Was a W-Body thing too...but the cars were too heavy and the spring wore out too quickly.

How come they still use leaf springs in a car costings close to $100,000? I'm not to making fun of it, but what's the reason? Is it somehow better than other types of systems?

The ZO6 was already one of the best handling cars on the planet...why change a good thing?

Hybrid...G-Series...it all sould be forgoten...No names, jsut something simple.

Nice story and congrats on the car. I would love me a solid black Trofeo...IMO the chrome ruins the futuristic look.

Saul Williams (feat. Trent Reznor) - WTF!

For As much as these things sell for, you think they could have found a way to hide the top.

Automatic??? What genious decided to choose that option?

Porsche still uses the 3.6 liter engine and doesn't need tons of power to make a fast car. The C7 should focus on increased gas mileage, handling, braking and interior.

Yes, but they sure do need AWD.

911 Turbo: ~3500lbs, AWD, 0-60 in 3.4s, and still a decent street car.

911 GT3 RS: ~3000lbs, RWD, 0-60 in 4.0s, may handle better, but not great for the streets (I'm willing to bet the ZR1 out performs it too)

I see no problem in adding a AWD Vette to the line up. It will be a killer street car (imagine actually being able to launch a Vette without the rear coming around on you). The should also keep around the ZR1 for the track hungry folks.

Might be this generations Omni GLH!

LOL...This thing is a whale compaired to the GLH.

Sad thing is...I rather drive an Aztek, at least it has an excuse for being ooogly.

GT1 is the only reason I've ever watched AMLS...I feel Corvette Racing is making a smart move to try to save the class. I also feel the Aston Martins are pretty evenly matched with the Corvettes, so they shouldn't even be considering performance balancing.

Race Results

Hmm... 300+ hp, XWD?

I'm hoping for at least that much. Even though the Haldex system isn't as good as true AWD system, having 300-320ish horsepower would certianly jab Subaru in the eye.

But I wanna see it now!

I'm sorry can anyone tell me what kind of experience Nardelli has with the automotive industry?

Yeah, it's just too bad GM walked away from Lotus when they redesigned.

And best of all...

Yeah, but you would think they would be making a bigger deal of the AWD than they are...

Highway cruising over 100 m.p.h. with fuel economy exceeding 37 m.p.g. Detroit to Chicago and back -- 566 miles -- on considerably less than a tank of fuel.

Quote from Vauxhall's site...

A 150PS 1.9 CDTi 16v engine giving:

• Impressive acceleration and torque (0-60 8.3secs, 129mph top speed, 315Nm (~236ft/lbs) torque for New Astra)
• Uncompromised fuel economy (48.7mpg combined for New Astra)
