2010 Camaro SS not affected by closing of GM's High Performance Vehicle Operations
 

It was reported yesterday that GM has scrapped its High Performance Vehicle Operations. Many of you were understandably worried about the effects of this shuttering on the Camaro "SS"

Well, worry no more! GM spokesperson Vince Muniga has addressed this concern of ours. He has told InsideLine that:
"You've got the Camaro SS coming out. It is not threatened at all" and will be coming out as planned.

The Camaro SS, Corvette ZR1 and Z06 were all developed as regular production models, and not through the HPVO unit. Hence, all of these vehicles are safe.

Thanks for clarifying. Makes sense!

ok so calling off the mob and putting the torches and pitchforks away, man this would have been ugly.

If the SS,Z06,and ZR1 were regular production models, I REALLY want to see what HPVO was working on.

I was ready for a fist fight.:fighting0030: :fighting0040: :fighting0072::fighting0056: :character0293: :slice: :paddle:

Great now you are telling me my SS is not so exclusive :(

(said in the spirit of finding something negative to say about any ol' thing that infects the internet)

:wave:

Me thinks this does mean the end of the Z28 though :(

if the camaro ss/zr1/and zo6 are not developed threw the HPVO unit what cars are.

:sm0: the doom & gloom mentality is certainly high these days... whether it be on the internet, or in the media in general. :mad0259:

The quote in your link talks about the division doing cars like the "V series Cadillacs and the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, HHR SS, and a V-8 version of the Colorado."

So if those are the "high performance " cars that are being abandoned, I think I can live with it. :rolleyes:

I guess we will just be stuck with those "low performance" SS Camaros and Corvettes! :rolleyes:

just realized this means no cts-v coupe

z28 was first to come to mind but....

damn that would have been sweet!

The sky isn't falling now, is it? :rolleyes:

How will we cope with that? I don't think I can go on living.

If I remember my history right, it was the equivalent of this group (probably had a different name) that designed the Z/28 302 engine for the 1st gen Camaros.
