Default I Think

I still think that Chevrolet isn't telling us something...what about you guys?


I have nothing to base it off of, really, I just feel like they have a sort of "surprise" for us...guess it could just be wishful thinking.


Lets day dream.

What kind of surprise? I don't think there's much left not to know about the 5th gen. And with the current situation GM is in, I don't think they're working on any surprises. I'm dreaming of what we already know the 5th gen is, and I can't wait to get my next SS.

Only thing left to wonder about is realistic performance stats. With the current situation of GM, I'm hoping they make my car and ship it before they close the doors. And as for dreaming ... well of course I'd like the Z/28 to replace my order but come w/ the LS9, a straight axle and power everything delete (including radio)
