Ok, here is my new concern.
GM is spending a LOT of time and money making verrrrry special Camaros and Corvettes.
Within just a few weeks we get a 1LE and a GS. Likely in New York we will get something else on top of that, predicting ZL1. And then a Z/28 somewhere down this path of awesome cars.
So how about a lowly little hot hatch or Sedan even? Not just that Ford has the Focus in multiple performance oriented variants, but whether it's Buick or Chevy, GM needs a car with the 2.0T, great brakes and handling.
Now GM did this once and got burned. We had BOTH an Cobalt SS and an HHR SS. Both sold like crap and were cancelled. So maybe GM has decided this isn't worth the effort.
But the upcoming new Verano sure doesn't look like there is any performance there and as sweet as the new Cascada looks, it does 0 - 60 in like 9 seconds. Talk about slow in todays market.
So until the mid engine Corvette or Zora, I think we've seen everything in the Corvette arsenal. Unless that mythical NA LTx comes along. Fingers still crossed.
And the only question we have left is does the ZL1 outfitted with the CTS-V hardware squeeze out the Z/28? I still think that even without a NA engine (fingers are still crossed) there is room for a ZL1 with the LT4 and a lightweighted version with CC brakes to be a track focused variant. But without that LTx, the place for that car seems tougher to carve out.
And you are all wondering how much skill it takes to type with your fingers crossed aren't you.
