If the Zeta program is dead, that means the new Camaro/GTO is pretty much dead. Boy those guys at GM are idiots....

Why do I have a feeling the nostalgia will be a really bad imitation of a '69 Camaro, rolling on a modified Trailblazer frame with the standard 5.3 truck motor priced at 45K?

This is what really pisses me off at GM, they have the potential to build some great performance cars and they choose not to.

How 'bout a no frills stripper budget priced Corvette?

There is the Holden platform available for RWD, it could be built here. Do some restyling for the American market and it would probably sell.

The Caprice/Impala is still being built for oversees markets. Checked on the prices for used Impala SS's lately? There is a market here for them.

Is there any reason there is not a new version of the Syclone? The parts are there it's just a matter of assembling them. Take a basic Canyon, steal the all wheel drive from the Trailblazer, drop in LS-2 from a Corvette, done.

Or how 'bout a new version of the 454 SS pickup. Take basic Silverado 2wd standard cab shortbed, drop in 8.1, sell for 30k or less, done.
