Holy crap those wheel flares are massive! Actually they look too big IMO.

LS7 CTS = pimp though.

Nice looking. Powertrain mule for the Camaro and the pontiac muscle car (can't call it the GTO, because the GTO ain't gonna happen), is kick *** though. Wonder if there is a 14 bolt or a center section under the back end?

anything other than the irs on the old CTS-V will be an improvement. I also hope this means that they will drop the price of the CTS-V and not compete with the Vette on price....

IRS. I haven't heard one peep about a live axle in any Zeta based product.

It's tax season, and I haven't had AS much time to keep up with all the GM follies regarding future vehicle production plans as I should. I haven't heard anything about live axle in Zeta either, but doesn't mean they aren't trying it.

My mistake on not realising GTO was back in. It's like the hookie pookie, Goat's in Goat's out, goat's in goat's out.

I like that a lot. I think I could be happier with that than a Vette. Dang!!! But, it will cost so much, I will go with an LS7 camaro!!!

ls7 likely won't be in production when Camaro rolls out.
