This is an intentional release with some teaser facts to generate hoopla, speculation, and rumor. As such everything pictured is carefully planned. It will be released as a 2012 model late 2011 or early 2012. The spoiler has yet to be determined or is being intentionally withheld. It will be the 6.2 LS1 and LS9 rated between 500-550hp/tq. It will have to have less power than the Corvette of course. The parts will mostly consist of in house "off the shelf". This will help keep costs low. And why not if they work. I'd like to see pricing at $55 to $60k. Realistically it will be $60k to $70k. As it will be used as a lure to sell the cheaper LS/SS. They will offer almost all the parts al carte to make your LS/SS go faster/handle better. The suspension/brakes being available for the LS.
What a better way to increase revenue and support your dealer network?(That's a rhetorical question.) Dealer parts have a big margin and dealers will get the install work by offering a factory warranty. Dealerships make their money in the garage. What's better is the customer will be ecstatic to get dealer supported go fast parts.
Probably not...
