Ok, future rule...dont post stuff like this till i get BACK from vacation.

Yes, Camaro was slated for Zeta...and Zeta, for North America, is done for now....but for good reasons.
1- Zeta doesnt really exist...but its sister chassis, VE does. VE is Austrialia's new RWD chassis.
2- VE was approved by Holden, while part of GM, approves things differently then GM NA.
3- If you think that the GTO would make a great Camaro, then a Zeta Camaro would have fit you fine. If you think that a GTO would NOT make a good Camaro...well, you should be happy camper.
As I was getting to with #2, VE was approved by HOLDEN, and used thier process of approval. In North America, GM already has 2 major RWD chassis...incase we all forgot, Sigma and Kappa are 2 of the worlds finest RWD and AWD chassis around. Sigma underpins CTS, SRX and STS while Kappa sits under Solstice and Sky.

Sigma is what we will see Camaro ride on. A cheap version, but Sigma none the less, with probably Mcpherson struts and a cheap live axle or IRS. With Sigma II coming out in 2007, and Sigma's tooling and test, along with beeing approved for a 400hp LS6 and now LS2 with 6spd manual, 5spd auto and 6spd auto trans, already done, it seems like a stupid idea to start up tooling for Zeta, which would be wasting money on another RWD chassis.

The MT article is more "GM is teh sux0r" **** that goes around. Chrysler was graced with Diamler's gift of the old E class technology, and they were granted 2 ton vehicles...nothing says peformance like 4000lbs+.

And if anyone is really really interested, I think that all us Camaro fans will be very delighted come January in Detroit. 8)
