It will have IRS on all models, standard. Not ancient live axles for this car.

Thats what I thought I was worried for a bit. Some sites are still under the impression that IRS may or may not be standard.

If I recall the gt500 dosn't do all that well when it comes to dyno runs and track handling. so says top gear but clarkson is bias against american cars
well C&D said the same thing, so i don't think it is just your source. The front end pushes in the corners and such on the GT500. so hopefully since the general didn't skimp on the suspension we won't have that problem. I still want the V6 with the 50/50 weight distribution

Hear this:

The DPG is all out of the Camaro t-shirts and won't be ordering any more at this time. If things change they will let us know.


So, please don't keep hounding the proving grounds, anymore!! They don't have any to sell you! Thank you!!
