Scott will be missed at GM and by the Camaro TEAM more than they think.

There are a lot of things that place is incapable of thinking of, this being one.

Enjoy the heck out of it, Scott.

You're a class act, and no one deserves it more!

A bazillion happy Camaro owners appreciate you, even if they don't know your name.

I have this week off from work, but we aren't going away so decided to do a few things I've had in mind.

Went to the Cadillac dealer to test drive an ATS-V. Cadillac inventory suggested our dealer had one. They did not.

So on a whim we went to the MB dealer to check out the C63 AMG. Stickered for $83,000 OUCH!!! But (ir)regardless when it started it made my SS sound like a Honda with a fart can. Ohhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. It is a very small car though, smaller than our ATS. Sweet interior. But for that coin I'd get the CTS-V.

Oh and for giggles I did look at the E class AMG and it stickered for $115,000 making a CTS-V look like a super bargain. Wow!

Yes the Caddies performed well at the C&D Lightening Lap.

IMSA is bumming me big time in the Continental Series. They have destroyed the Z/28R's. It's beyond unfair at this point. Why penalize the performers? They should add performance to the weaker cars.

They've done the same thing to the C7R's in the Tudor Series.

GM really delivered with this car. It's going to be impressive and these are just the base cars. I can't wait to see what they do with this generation.

Assuming those numbers all hold up then it's a home run. But they also said the ZL1 would run 11s all day, not exactly true with that statement. Regardless, I expect that it will be close to those numbers, which are insane.

I am now interested in this new Hi-Po that has been spied.. I'm thinking it has got to be forced inducted. Hood Cowl, HUGE lower grill and what appears to be a heat exchanger in front of the radiator.

Looks like GM is testing another car out there. It may be the 1LE. They aren't playing around with the 6th gen.
