Just a rumor. Don't you think if GM greenlighted it they would want us to know? They need good press right now, and the only good press this entire year for them was the Camaro winning best of show. It is just a rumor.

So far, this looks like hype/wishful thinking on the part of GM High Tech.

IMO look at the turn around on the Solstice, and new GMT platform trucks. They cranked out an entire line of yukons/tahoes/escalade earlier than expected and the solstice was something like a 9 month production process.
Can they release the car in spring/summer of 07 as an 08 model? Yes i think so. Will they? Who knows at this point.

Thats what I say. All the people talking about this car won't even be interested in 3 years. 3 years is a long time.

In the magazine they also claim that the LSx based v-10 is going into production for the 2008 model light and medium duty trucks as RPO "LTA", at 7.5L and 400+ Horse.
What do ya'll think?

Why is chevy making a 7.5L V10 for their trucks? Bad choice IMO when they've been having success with just 8 cylinders lately on their 8.1L and other HO truck engines. I think its a good selling point to say they get better mileage and make same HP as ford's V10

GMHTP has been pretty reliable for insider information over the years. In fact they reported about the C5 ZO6/LS6 well before ANY magazine did. They had the specs and hp rating nearly dead on.

the camaro is gonna go the same way as the ssr. come out with a cool concept->public wants it built->concept gets buit-> no one buy sit because of the costs of building it->vehicle line fails. money says itll happen close to how it happened to that cool lil hotrod.
