FenwickHockey65's Great Thread of GM Knowledge

Yeah I really wouldn't expect it to be too cheap.

ZL1 or Z28 have to be absurd though. I drove a 2SS with NPP and that thing was so fun.

Ay Fen.....can a tune get rid of my decel popping I get from the new exhaust? (2010 1SS/RS M6)

Even though I'm not Fen, yes it can.

When should we expect pricing to be released for the 2014 Camaro line?

GOOD! I hate decel popping, sounds like an old beater to me.

Just specify it to your tuner

When is the Chevelle coming back?

This.

All right, a lot of interest in a Chevelle apparently.

Chevelle as we knew it probably isn't going to materialize anytime soon.

With that being said, like I mentioned earlier, GM is hell-bent on doing something RWD. What they're looking at is a sub-Alpha platform to slot in BELOW the 6th gen Camaro. A lot of people like to point at the Code130R concept for this but Mark Reuss has already said the concept is dated beyond belief and won't go into production. This sub-Alpha RWD platform has a lot of support from Reuss and some other execs, but whether or not anything will happen depends on Holden and whether or not they can put together a strong enough business case (remember, it has to be a global vehicle).

I'm a Chevelle guy to the core. I've been working on restoring my 1970 for about 5 years now. I would kill to park a modern Chevelle (done right, of course) next to my 70.

If the Camaro ends up on the SWB Alpha, they could put the Chevelle on the LWB Alpha.

It's possible but nobody's really saying. And with Chevelle being such a high-profile nameplate and theoretically a high-profile launch, GM's probably keeping the lid as tight on it as they did the Z/28.

Which wasn't that tight since I knew about the Z/28 about a week prior.

I'm sure it would be kept quite.

Man, I hope they bring it back. That would be epic.

I figured the Z/28 was coming when the SS debuted a day early.
