Just when I was considering the purchase of a Chevy. I think they should just get it over with and merge with Toyota.

Lame, lame lame........

I guess I will be buying one from Nickey or one of the other tuners out there.....

Suprised it lasted this long... US Gov't (new owner of GM) has no interest in going fast

Best steer clear of the hard core 5th generation websites you may have to dodge the people jumping out the windows... like 85% of the pre-orders were LS-3 equipped SS cars.

WOW THE GREAT ONE THE KING HAS FALLEN TO FORD AND DOGE. WE SHOULD HAUL DOWN THE FLAG AND SURENDER. JUST WHEN GM WAS STARTING TO GIVE IT'S CUSTOMERS WHAT WANT THEY CALL IT QUIITS. I WAS READY TO BUY A CAMARO AND WAS HOPEING FOR A LS7 VERISON. I WOUNDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE ZO6 AND THE ZR1 IT IS A SAD DAY. I CAN REMBER WHEN WHAT WA GOOD FOR GM WAS GOOD FOR AMERICA. IF WE STOP LETTING THE INPORT COMP COME HERE AMD SELL THERE PRODUCT AND AND NOT ALLOW US THE SAME ACES TO THIER MARKETS WE ARE IN TRUOBLE

Sad news no doubt but somehow I'm more upset about the news this board may be losing the Supercar Workshop!.

It could have said GM is Dead ( That may happen anyway ), In the current climate it's probably a good move for a short time. With the Nancy Pelosi's of the world watching there every move and GM looking for big hand outs

Don't worry about the Corvette. I got a promo release picture of how GM will make the new Vettes ECO friendly and regulatory compliant.
They are being redesigned to follow suite after the Smart Car.
