Athough it is a step towards rice, maybe they're planning to carry over this type of backing to the GTO and other RWD V8 perfomance cars to come. Hopefully it's the start of GM's SVT or SRT.

GM has a Special Division, its called GM Performance Division...
They created such cars like the CTS-V, Z06, Cobalt SS, Trailblazer SS, Ion Redline.
And GM does back up its RWD V8 performance cars. C6-R in ALMS, CTS-V in SCCA World GT class, as well as the GTO in American Drift.
In fact, Mark Reuss, who is head of the division, created a third CTS-V and raced it last year.
Now tell me where is Chrysler and Ford's head racing in their cars? Where is a Ford backed SVT Cobra? Only Mustang I see is in SCCA Grand Am racing, where Chevy sponsors a handful of Cobalt SS's.
If anyone walks the walk, its GM.
And I will go back even further...GM did support the Fbody. Anyone remember IROC? It wasnt just a sticker on the side of high optioned third gens. Camaros ran in IROC from the 70's to 90, and now the Crown Royal IROC series has 02 Trans Ams.
