I want to believe, I really do

CaptianSam · 02-25-2008, 03:48 PM

no didn't say, those were the only concrete detials, i'm pretty excited to see the use of the ls3 in the camaro i had the chance of driving the c6 'vette and what a great engine, the ls2 was good, but the delivery and refinement is so smooth, the seating position took away from the experience, the seats sort of broke the connection between you and the car, but the camaro should overcome this, hopefully

Well, I hope you are right! And in the event that you are right...I hope that the LS3 is the base V8...but for some reason, I get the feeling that it won't be...

Most of those things we were already guessing...the 4 piston brakes, the remote start key fob, the gas filler door...so I don't really know what to make of that...Anyone in high places know when things like engine/drivetrain will be made public? I'm not trying to be abnoxious...i'm just curious!

Well Cap'n, nothing in your story seems to conflict. There are a few members here that should know if what you report is true (Fbodfather, 3whiterag, Camero, 80Zedder), but confirming things is another issue. But I trust you. Just wanted to know if you could confirm things for us. Like I said earlier, it all sounds reasonable, its what we've been expecting.

That's what I was thinking. Did he say you could post this info? Along with his name? If they wanted to find out how everyone found out about the LS3, how many (your cousin's name)'s could there have been at that meeting?

I don't mean to throw you under the bus, just hope nothing bad comes out of it.

*GTAHVIT* · 02-25-2008, 05:20 PM

Were any key GM folks at the meeting or was it factory personnel only?

If what you say is true that's pretty damn encouraging!

Kyle2k · 02-25-2008, 05:33 PM

I had to sign up, after some speculation and observation I think I am ready to hop on. You should probably delete ur cousins name and the people that repeated it didn't make it easy for him. As for the truth of this, didn't Fbod say to not expect something we knew or something along those lines.

Haha im getting the ATX...it will be very nice i think lol...It would be nice if the people that knew could give discrete ques like a single smiley face or something to that extent...it doesnt seem to hard to leave a discrete clue, or even forward it though someone else...Anyways its nice to be on...
