So take it all with a grain of salt and respectfully agree or disagree. Hell, pick sides if you want. But don't make the mistake of thinking anyone is a credible source when it comes to what GM is doing with the Camaro. Unless we are repeating what GM already said. And we won't know for sure until GM says it.

Of course. I could be a 14 year old kid, a 22 year old engineering student, or a 31 year old mechanic. Any of us can be anything regardless of our claims. We can all lie about anything we want. As a result, we need to take everything with a grain of salt as you suggested. But when people post technical information we need to know how big of a grain. The type of info that these people post has alot to do with thier credibility. The catch 22 of all this is, the only ones that could truly confirm that anything is true, are the others that make similar claims. But Fbodfather can't say much, neither can 3whiterag. I'm sure they know what engines the Camaro will get, as an example. But they can't tell us one way or the other. 80Zedder sounds like he is who he claims, we don't know. I could try to arrange to meet up with him while he's at work but then you would have to trust that I actually did that.
the whole point is, you can't trust everything but you need to trust somethings. Numerically, I would rate fbodfather at 99.99% reliable, 3whiterag at 99% (even though he doesn't say much), 80Zedder at 80% because we don't know much about him, Camero at about the same. But then we have RadCannon and CapitainSam. I put them at 50% at best. Nobody can really prove who they are, only show that its unlikely that they are lying.
anyhoo, back on topic
