Yea. Bring them back and stick 307s in them so old people can go get groceries?
Only a very low number of Chevelles HAD any performance. I only liked them because they were comfortable.

GM needs some new names that stick. I am not against bringing anything back from the past but nothing fits.

looks too plain for me, but the performance potential is there. Looks like a car a woman would drive, not bold enough.

Look at the date of that article, it isn't Obama, it's the EPA, and they havent wanted it since W was in office. Obama drove a SRT8 till he caught flack and got a Hybrid Escape.

and....most Camaros had a 250ci six cyl so kids with mullets could look fast but not have to worry about an actual speeding ticket....what is your point?

Fact is,the Chevelle SS was the true Chevrolet muscle car.Most likely if it was ever brought back it would not be done right any how.Look at the GTO and Charger.

Yeah,I think they will use a 6 speed transmission.Possibly the TR6060 six speed that the gt500 and new Camaro SS comes with.Different gear ratio's of course.

Well since Ford seems like it will be using the new 5.0 as the replacement for the current 4.6 (which is supposedly slated to be discontinued either this year or next), it's possible that that the price increase will be small or even nonexistant. But that's still all hearsay until Ford actually does it.
