Yeah, they might be letting the cat out of the bag earlier than the dealer IDL.

I should know more about this by Friday hopefully.

Those are the stats for the Camaro Concept. The production car stats will be released on July 21st. The production Camaro will not get an LS2, but we're all hoping and expecting an LS3.

It will be an LS3 with 400hp, I know that for a fact. I am very excited for the announcement on the 21st because I'm ordering one in the spring. Can't decide color though, maybe white with black stripes or silver with dark gray stripes.

That's what I thought too. I didn't know if that was old info or not. It sure doesn't look like old info though.
