My club, (VMSC), has a booth at this weekend's Richmond Auto Show. I was there last night and saw a new Camaro. It was a V-6 but had the 6 speed trans. I assumed that a V-6 would be a 5 speed. It looked pretty good, although a little plain. I also saw two Cobalt SS's, but they had turbo engines rather than the supercharged engine. Have they abandoned the blown engine? But my favorite of the GM offerings had to be a black Cadillac CTS-V 6 speed. It looked like Darth Vader on tires. At a little over $67,000, it isn't cheap, but it sure looked good. They also had a ZR-1 Corvette, and a Solstice coupe that looked good.

V6 & V8 Camaros get 6 speed manual and 6 speed autos.

Cobalt SS has had the turbo for couple of years now. Basically the same motor, turned the wrong way, as the Solstice GXP and Sky Redline. The switch from SC to Turbo bumped it from 205HP to 260HP IIRC.

55 hp that's a worth while bump. in my book (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

We had three SS cars at our show up here.

Seating is great, steering wheel is great, outside is great, power is great.

Headroom in the sunroof sucks, radio and centre gauges suck ass.

Hendrick car 0001 off the line. I believe he paid $350k for it. I think Leno has 0003.
