This information is official. I believe it was announced several months ago.

^^ Correct also the fact that Katech will not be building their engines anymore, it will be done in-house by the GMPP division.

IIRC i think they might be staying with Pratt and Miller for the chassis building though.

and there is a firebird...LPE makes it...
that is a camaro converted to a firebird. it's not a pontiac and will not be titled as one. unless they somehow buy the rights to pontiac and firebird and can title the car as such, its still a camaro.
