With GM in more trouble now... Here are some facts from inside GM as told to me by a relative that's been an engineer for them over 25 years...: The Camaro SS is on permanent hold... The RS camaro with the 365 hp 5.7 will be coming,........ The ZR1 maybe put out to pasture by spring 2010..... And Geeeez some of you really dont keep track of things in the auto industry, (the GTO's were made from 2004-2006...>> LS1 the first yr and LS2 for 05'-06')...... The G8 (aka Grand Prix) is just a four door GTO but the hot model is the GXP with the new vettes LS3, still a big heavy boat with poor MPGs, this G8 GXP will be gone soon... and are to be sold in very limited production ........ The production run for the G8 is said to be 5 years but sales or will determine how long the G8 stays in production...
I'll give the G8 1 more year at most....
I had moderately modded cars such as: 550 whp 06' GTO a 500 whp 06' vette and a 390 whp 2002 Lexus GS430... My 08' balt SS will be at 475 whp by this summer.
By 2015 CAFE rules take affect that will cut the power of many High performance vehicles down by 40% so enjoy these powerful cars now that's all I've got to say because they'll be a thing of the past soon....

The Z28 will NOT be built until GM becomes profitable again. This is from a news article online. I would post the whole article but it is copy writed. The SS IS being built as we speak. Jon Hall Chev. in Daytona Beach had the 500 pace car for a couple of days. The SS is being marked up $5K above MSRP. And they wonder why nobody is buying.

the demand will be there, they will sale... in a couple of months after production, you'll be able to get one for MSRP, just like the Mustang GT... a ZR-1 is an ultra rare vehicle, like the Ford GT was, so it doesn't fall into this category, you'll never get a ZR-1 for under MSRP
