seriously doubt that... why would they do that when theyll have the GTO w/ 400hp that looks a lot like the GP.

the camaro rumors are for 07, but nothing confirmed. itd be nice if it came back, but im not sure i believe it.

The Chevelle rumors are bouncing around. Supposedly Dodge is bringing back the Charger in 06.

all I can say is that GM better get their fucking act together or they're going to be in a world of hurt. I've lost TONS of respect for GM lately.

Yea, I think the GTO is a total flop. It's not taking off like they thought IMO, it's a slug of a car too. Did they think noone would find out it's just a renamed AussieGM car?

i heard that depends on the '06 cobra. GM is trying to gauge where the cobra will fall and make the Z06 top dog. they might even be doing a 427 version, another ZL1.

i thought i heard the chevelle wasn't coming back, but they made just one as a promotional thing. they rebodied a holden car and made it a chevelle. not sure. i didn't read the whole article.

charger concept was built in like '99. it might come out as a competitor to the mustang, but if they've been sitting on it for 5 years, i doubt it.

er... everyone knew. they announced it. it was in all the magazines. they weren't hiding the fact that it's a reworked holden monaro.

just read more rumors and saw a rendering of the '07 camaro. The pics were amazing looking and if it looks anything like the renderings, I'll be getting one. The kinda did like ford is doing with the mustang and making it look like the original model.

The rumors are such:
RS: v6 model
SS: 5.3l v8 (327ci)
Z28: 6.0l v8

I thought the last two seemed flopped, but thats what it reads...I double checked.
