Both those concepts have the one thing the Camaro and Corvette do not have and never should have. The corporate (or Chevrolet) split grille with the bar and bowtie in it. It's fine for an Equinox or a Cruze, but not a Camaro.

I think that would be a cool name for it, IF it actually get's approved. BTW, the more recent gray one was badged as an "RS" and had a 2.0T vs the 1.4T in the red one.

Since Chevy is going to have a model named SS, what about just calling this RS?

Monza's were the ultimate sleepers of their time. I replace my lil 305 with a 350/350 and would love to catch unsuspecting Mustangs and Panteras.

Also........any engine that will fit in an ATS or 6th gen Camaro, will fit in a Code 130R.

The 130R was supposed to compete with the new toybarus.

I never thought they'd actually name a car "SS", so who knows.

The front end of that thing reminds me of a mazda rx8 or whatever rx they are on now. I hope to pick up another 5th gen in a year or so, I doubt the 6th gen will be an improvement over the 5th. Personally just changing the styling alone will kill my interest.
