I'm really hoping they come out with a 1LE version the first year, if not i'd probably wait until they did.

Considering that you have a Camaro currently you are probably better off waiting until at least they have something that you really want to move you into one. Though the Alpha platform is probably going to be a better all around platform to work with for mods and with the LT1 engine and the development work already done by the tuners for the C7 means there will be lots of options and data for those options. Looking at LPE site they have a N/A 630BHP package for the 6.2L LT1 engine so I would say that would make many people happy.

Heard from someone who went to BBOMG in Oshawa that the spy photo is a test mule of the 6th gen drive train and that is a 5th gen body over the drive train and camo'd up for the sake of the "paparazzi's."

So, 5th gen body (or parts of a 5th gen body) on a 6th gen chasis and drivetrain.

I can believe that.

yup...me too. I actually hope that is in fact the case, 5th gen body on 6th gen chassis, as opposed to being they are so far behind in design stages and needed to put a complete 5th gen with a bunch of camo on it, out to get "spy shots" due to all the hype generated by Mustang and Hellcat.

I'm sure someone can explain why they release in stages, like getting people to upgrade, or keeps them in the press...idk, obviously they think it is better for profits or they wouldn't do it.

Are they not worried they will lose market share to Hellcat and GT500 /350?

I'm thinking they should release everything that is ready ASAP, hellcat is going to move folks away from ZL1 no? Or they banking on the cars having such a cult following that a camaro guy will never buy a mustang or a challenger and visa versa? IDK...i'm not one of them and won't wait very long, there many options to choose from.

I also think (THINK, not totally sure) that these "measurements" are less than the actual measurements. The reason being that the shot is taken at an angle, not straight on the car. The line drawn from wheel to wheel is actually SHORTER than the distance between the two wheels. Notice how this line is NOT parallel with the yellow lines of the pavement markings. Car and pavement markings are parallel with each other, therefore the line drawn between the two wheels would have to match that angle. Also, the shot is taken not only at a x-axis angle, it also slightly off the z-axis as well (or pitch/yaw, not super familiar with these terms), I believe you can't even translate any of these distances into real world. Not trying to be too critical (I appreciate the effort), I realize these are very rough estimates, just thought I'd throw in my two cents.

Makes sense if you look at the A pillars. The windshield is not flush. Looks like body parts tacked on.

If Chicken Bones is the most accurate predictor, then we KNOW to RESPECT them bones the next time!

How cool is THAT?
