GM pulls plug on '08 line of cars - Product czar Bob Lutz wants to
speed new trucks, SUVs to market faster.
http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosinsider/0.../A01-123402.htm

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

No offense to you ESPers out there, but the Evo is my car, plain and simple if I was to buy a new car. Problem is a 10 yr old F body is still so much cheaper. It's hard to justify spending the extra money.

BTW, I still have a tender spot in my heart for the GLH Turbos - http://mywebpages.comcast.net/miketaylor68/glh.html

I'd probably consider buying a rally car too... Sti.

Of course I'd also consider a C5.


But in reality the only realistic replacement for me would be a factory five cobra replica. I've been eyeing these for a while and I think it would be a ton of fun to build and re-engineer and tune the suspension.

Although I would probably try and put a SBC in it. Perhaps LS1 if I got a good deal on a used one.

I've had that same thought, including craving one with an LS1 swapped into it. I'd probably build the spec racer version and head to the track with it.
