So for all the people that continue to complain (understatement) that GM has no car people, one of the people I have had the most respect for in my career is still there and fighting for product.
I agree and I am thankful that stand was made. My dad’s 15 Z/28 is the best car I’ve ever driven and I am disappointed we don’t get that on the Alpha platform.
