This just came out yesterday.......

GM’s Mustang fighter concept for Detroit to source engine from Corvette

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The folks over at Inside Line expect the GM’s muscle car concept scheduled to debut at the North American International Auto Show in January to source its engine from the Corvette. The Mustang fighter, expected to be a 2+2 coupe, is being called a Camaro by many, but some say the Chevelle name is more likely for the concept. In order to compete with the Mustang, the vehicle should get the Corvette engine but lack many of the other perks found in the Corvette that make it more expensive.

Yeah I have seen that, it looks pretty good IMO. It should be interesting to see if it goes into production and if the production car stays true to this concept.

Some of the rumors floating around are saying that there will not be a V6 version, only 5.7L HEMI's and 6.1L HEMI's. Some people are saying that it will be a 6.1L HEMI only specialty vehicle. I doubt those are rumors are true, but that is what a lot of people are saying.

Also from what I have heard on various message boards (particularly posts by the man from Mars ) the Camaro concept will be a mix of old and new, not straight out retro.

If you look at the Insideline articlue of the Challenger, it says 2009! I was hoping it be out a bit earlier then that!

It is a sweet car in concept though! Looks like it wouldn't change much for production either.

Hey, I know that Martian! As a matter of fact, I'll be staying at his house that weekend and getting an all expense paid trip to NAIAS with VIP access everywhere for the unveiling. Yes... I'm bragging. Long story. I just got lucky. It helps to have good friends in the right places.

That's what I've heard too so I'm anxious as all hell to get a glimpse of it. I'll also be putting some cash into a CD or money market account so I'll have a deposit ready when I need one. Oh, and by the way, I don't care what that article says, it's not going to be a Chevelle.

LOL the best line in the article was this:

"All the magazines are assuming they're going to copy the '69 Camaro, and I think that's highly likely," a well-placed source told Inside Line. "But there's also a chance they could copy the '70 Chevelle, in which case they'll call it Chevelle."

OH REALLY!?! Is that how it works?! LOL!!! Someone took his obvious-juice this morning LOL

by 2009 everyone will be sick of "retro" (like I am already ) and it will go over like a lead balloon. (just one man's prediction )
