How did you use the word?

'cause the article made it very clear that the LS2 was the engine in the Concept...others (not sure about you) imply that the Production car gets the LS2 (<) those are the only people I see chewed out.

Yup...unfortunately - That's gonna attract attention to any member. But it really isn't anything personally (surely you understand that). Imagine hearing LS2 this, and LS2 that for months at a time -- it gets old, and really, really, really annoying hearing that word. (Even though it's an amazing powerplant)

Think of it as paying your dues. Now, the next time you spot someone who mentions 'that word' or the headlights on the next set of spyshots, you can tear them up. And thus the tradition continues.

Nice read. I'm sure the Challenger people are going to be annoyed that their real car is being compared (and losing) to a not-yet-released car

Sigh, a great article ruined by such inaccuracies as an Australian assembly plant and the possibility of an LS7. Usually Inside Line is better than that. However, the rest of the article was what you could get by reading between the lines of the G8/Charger comparo.

*wipes tears away* whew...heehee, okay.

I wonder if they meant that the Chassis (the actual Zeta aspect to it) will be built in Oz...but that still doesn't make sense. Whatever - done thinking:
Oshawa. End. Of. Story.

Exactly. I remember a couple things (that have already been pointed out) where their statements were wrong or old news.
