I dunno just thinking out loud here. A performance package like the 1LE believe it or not, for many is too stiff, sad as that may sound. You can't have both without sacrifices is what I'm getting at. |

Look at how well the Camaro can perform at 3,900 lbs. This newer one will lose weight, and sounds as though it will have even less unsprung weight which will make it that much better. Be happy guys. Quote:
But we all know the rave reviews the Alpha chassis has gotten on the ATS and the CTS.....it should be one heck of a good driver's car.

I'm just ticked off at all these new safety measures they're cramming down our throats, my "Collision Mitigation System" (that's what Meritor Wabco calls it) activated on an overpass today, engaged the brakes and almost shoved a truck up my butt. Some [edited for political rhetoric] put crap on my truck that I can't control, and even more so, that takes control away from me... I don't like it. A lot. Tell the engineers to invent a device that will disable cell reception in a moving vehicle. THAT'S collision mitigation I can support!

It's not what a Camaro owner can afford. It's simply the material cost in the product. There are premium materials in the ATS. Now GM has already shown aluminum chassis bits that are replacing steel. That is a huge premium. Aluminum is much more expensive than steel. What I am afraid of is the use of premium materials in the chassis results in a cheaper interior. But even worse, it will be like the new Tahoe. Yes, the base version is only slightly more expensive than the outgoing model. But you can option one up to around $75,000. OUCH. And probably confusing several peoples comments on 4 to 500 pound weight loss. That is a 3400 pound SS and there are a few people here thinking that was possible and going on to claim a big fail on GM's part if not. So sorry if that wasn't your intent. But keep in mind, these are teaser comments to wet our appetite, not things to argue over. And it seems like we are arguing over nothing more than a few comments and pics.

It's all in the interior and "options" that everyone cries for....then doesn't wanna pay for. Now to corral the discussion back in....The weight savings + the LT1 is gonna be wicked. I've seen a few all-motor VVT camshaft/header combinations where the TQ is INSTANT and carries all the way through on some Stingrays. No flat plane crank or carbon fiber wheeled rice-mobile will outrun that. Especially not if the $$ is equal.
