THAT IS AWESOME! I read that they may put the engine thats in the new Escalades (I think) That they will have the 2 cylinder shut down when not needed.. But either way I am totally getting one of those!

Im just saying... theyre not going to have the camaro be as fast as the vette. 70k, vs around 30k I predict. The corvette is chevys baby... Im going to guess its not going to have the same engine, or same power. Thats just IMO.

Example= Say there are 3 guys talking about cars.. 1 Guy drives a Chevrolet Cobalt, 1 guy drives a C5 and the other drives a 02 Camaro SS.. If all three guys say what kind of car they have most likely the dude w/ the Cobalt will be like "damn a Corvette". You know what Im saying?
People will buy the Corvette to have a Corvette! Not because its fast but because its a Corvette..

I have it from the man himself....."There will never be a vehicle made in any gm division faster than the corvette from the factory." Not to say it couldn't be a simple mod or 2 or program from whooping on it.

Oh and the vette wasnt faster in the 4th gen years....the 4th Gen ZL1 rated at 600hp that was faster then the Z06. Yea it was limited production but it was still faster then a vette. No where does it say that the Camaro cant be faster then a Corvette. But I agree they wont have it faster but im sure they wont be far off.
