Sixth Gen Time

Well, for those who know or might not know, Chevrolet will be showing off the sixth generation Camaro on May 16th at Belle Isle.

Design wise, it's staying pretty close to the fifth gen's contempo-retro design but where it's built and what it's built on will change.
Production will move back to 'Murica as it will be produced at GM's fancy Lansing Grand River plant and will be sitting on GM's Alpha platform, a lightweight rear-drive program that has been exclusive to Cadillac's ATS and CTS.
How much weight will it lose? GM announced last week that the Camaro will lose at least 200lbs over the current model, bringing the car into the 3400-3700lbs range, depending on equipment.
Power? 2.0T, 3.6 will come from Cadillac while Corvette loans its baby brother the 460hp LT1. Transmissions will most likely be a six speed manual for the 4 and 6 while the LT1 gets a 7 speed followed by a six or eight speed automatic transmission.

Pricing and options will most likely mirror the Mustang and performance models to be shown over the first few model years.
