With the current state of the industry I would bet Money this is pretty accurate.
Just some badges, special color etc and that’s about it. It would have been hard enough to get them to justify some special motor mods etc even in a non pandemic market imo.
A lot more red tape involved (emissions testing) than just throwing in a diff motor/blower etc. unfortunately. I’m not saying it can’t be done It just seems far fetched they would for this car at this time.

They cite their two sources for this as Lethal Camaro and Muscle Cars and Trucks - neither of which are strangers to posting about unsubstantiated rumors that turn out to be untrue. Seems like another case of trying to generate clicks with online articles that they can always point to later when it doesn’t happen and claim “we did say it was just a rumor.”

In other words - don’t believe it until GM themselves say it.

Ya... I'm a Harley guy too and even though Harley isn't coming to an end like the Camaro, trying to speculate what Harley is going to do every year is impossible. They don't let things leak. I won't believe anything I read about the end of the Camaro speculation until I read it straight from a GM source.

In fact, all GM would say is, "While we will not engage in speculation, we will remind you of our recently announced updates coming to the Camaro lineup this fall. An all-new LT1 model will provide customers V8 power with the design and affordability of our LT trim. The award-winning SS model will feature a new front fascia from the Camaro Shock concept. All of our updates are customer-driven to improve the car and its driving experience."

I find this part credible and interesting. My question is what will that look like? Was this just the old news about the 2019>2020 change?

Ha! So it is...I never even noticed the date, which is odd because it's usually one of the first things I look for.

How can anybody say what GM is going to do. When from week to week they don't know. Look at the 2 to 3 month a magazine needs to get to press. It's old before we ever see it. Hope everybody had a great turkey day.
