True. Personally, I'd like to see a futuristic looking body kit and the high wing spoiler. The downforce would be sick!

Well I hope it's AWD cuz I don't think GM will make a 426hp FWD Camaro. Although you could win over some of the Civic guys.

I don't know if it will still be 426 hp. Chevy is going to a 5.5 that I believe they intend to be their go-to V8. That's not speculation, it will be in the ALMS Corvette in 2010 for testing if I read correctly. So back to power to weight I guess.

GTA, you have forced me to admit to a top secret technology project GM has been working on...........apparently stickers work!

For example, GM is in the process of obtaining patents on a very unique flame decal that when run from front bumper to rear license plate a %15 improvement in drag is obtained resulting in big gains for both fuel economy and performance.

And a broader research project has revealed that not only can you gain fuel economy by simply putting a hybrid badge on the car, they have unlocked the true secret to the Prius. It isn't just that it has a hybrid badge, but is WHERE it is placed on the car that has the biggest single impact.

And early results indicate that simply putting sticker on the car indicating more displacement or cylinders than are actually under the hood can result inup to 4 additional HP.

These technological discoveries applied to the FWD Camaro will be the secret to previously un imagined performance and fuel economy.

Stay tuned......truly exciting stuff,

Well having the last of the RWD Camaros might shoot up the value. If "certain" dealers get wind of this...........look out. MSRP will be a thing of the past.
