no actully not case closed. NOTHING on the Camaro has been confirmed other than the fact that i will be produced. and you brought up another good point to support my argument. the SVT Cobra. 1996-2002 had SRA, so ford decides to experiment with IRS. obviously, it was a hack because they went back to SRA.

Wrong, the Zeta platform has been and will be IRS.

There will be a number of cars built on this platform, and as such the economy of scale will work in GM's favor. It was designed as a fully independent AWD capable platform from the start, it survived cancellation to be reborn because the market demands sophistication. All Zeta cars will be IRS.

Are you serious??? Have you seen the Camaro Concept??? They gave official approvement of the car and the production car "will be very close to what we saw on the concept car" The writing is on the wall I give you credit for trying to hang on for hope that it might be SRA but its deff going to be an IRS car. Don't make me go looking for quotes by Scott Stettlemeir because he is one of the men behind the scenes at gm that helped bring us the new Camaro and he has said many many times it will be an IRS car.

This thread has pretty much run its course.

There's no debating it, Camaro will have IRS.
It's a done deal, and has been for a while.
