Another positive--- it's new and needed work for racecar and engine builders.... Chevy finally has a new dog in the hunt and everyone's wondering if it'll be a good hunter, or just a plain dog....well, they've been pretty good hunters in the past, so let's see what they've got this time around....Soon they will be raced---just like all the other new cars we're seeing trackside, pricey or not..... Actually looking forward to their appearance at coming events, just like many others here as well. Good luck to anyone putting one of these cars together....This is my .02 cents only.... WJ

They couldnt cost more than a fast SS/AH hemi car.....could they?

Terry, Yes, the Mopar SS/AH cars are "off the chart" to build and keep running, just as the 427 Fairlane Thunderbolts, but it also seems to take WELL over $100K to put a good Challenger DP stocker, or Mustang CJ stock or superstock car on the starting line these days, as well. (and maybe a certain few 427 '69 Camaros and Corvettes, too!) Time will tell how much $$ and effort it'll take to make the 5th gen Camaro go fast.....

GM submitted a real production car to the guide. What a novel idea!

GM should have asked ford or Mopar how to submit a new car.

Out of all the new cars it's the only one you can walk into a dealership and drive home. It's the only one that has the correct shipping weight and the only one that has a SAE net horsepower rating. Based on these three things it doesn't look competitive with the other new cars. However, we can only hope for crate motors.
