Speaking of brilliant thinking GM just announced they disbanded their group of high performance vehicle engineers, PVO. The people behind the hot versions of all of GM's products.

It looks like there won't be a Z/28 afterall. And no more SS Chevrolets after the current models are done. No more V Cadillacs either.

GM is fucked whether they release the Z/28 or not, that's the irony.

Motortrend is a ******* rag. That's all they will ever be. I'm sure that nothing they said has any real source. It never does.

I'd likely believe Bumblebee is something, but motortrend just wants to sell magazines and are always wrong about future releases.

It means that if they already planned the Z/28, then they could choose to release it.

They only refer to future upcoming "versions" of those models. The Camaro SS will be unaffected, but there will be no Z28 or CTS-V coupe. As well as any future updated Camaro SS or other high performance car, (minus the Corvette).

I dont buy it. That is there main steam. The Cobalt SS alone sell a ton. It would be the dumbest thing GM could do and thats why I dont see it happening. Besides, GM will be in the spotlight for a while. If this were true some major news station would report on it.

You really shouldn't bother posting when you have no idea what you are talking about. Check out the world around you next time, before you go running your mouth...

GM already has the new CTS-V complete. I Really can't imagine it being so different from the CTS Coupe that they it would cost anything more really.

The CTS Coupe is what a 2" shortened Sigma platform?
