I've read that GM pretty much has what you guys are talking about already into development and we wil have it around April '12. So far it is just being referred to as the "track pack", but it's going to be to the Camaro what the Boss 302 is to the Mustang and there is a rumor the LS7 could be in it. It's also rumored it will be called the Z28. I found most of this info in the April 2011 issue of Car and Driver.

I edited my post with a question regarding that, check it out. I've watched every nice vehicle I've owned up to this point eventually rust away into a pile after a few years ( I have my 87 GTA, 92 SVX, and my 97 Silverado that can testify to that), and I'm not doing it again with this one if I can help it with some preventative measures.

Hey now, don't hate on me just because I love my car and want to keep it forever.:finger::grin2: I won't be quite so paranoid once I get it undercoated and get fresh paint from Clifford, but until then I'm scared to death of seeing rust form somewhere on the body or get bad underneath. Plus come to think of it I will Ram Air by then, so rain is pretty much out of the question unless I put my stock airbox on when it rains and block off my hood intakes and then swap boxes and unblock it when I get there. I'm willing to do it though if he decides he wants to use my car. I've always wanted to ask this and I guess I will now: How do you guys with WS6's and SS's drive in the rain? I've never gotten to really examine one up close to see how it keeps the water out and I've always wondered.

Thats awesome Mark, congratulations! I guess you took my recent comment on cardomain to heart when I said it's time to get that thing into the 7's.

Interested. I have a 91 T/A GTA 350/4L60 auto with 135K miles on it currently (pic in my sig). The roof of it is faded and needs paint, but other than that it's a straight and clean car and runs perfectly. I saw it asked before, but I'll ask again: What happens if you guys blow my engine with this stuff?

From what I'm reading about this car, it sounds like the Toyota version will either be called a Scion now or Scion is getting their own version of it too. I've also read the Toyota version will have a N/A 200 HP 2.0 H4 and the Subaru will get a turbo and 260 HP in the base model and over 300 in the STI version with a 2.5 H4 basically out of the WRX STI. I've also read the STI version will get AWD. Some of the stories conflict with each other, so I'm not quite sure what to believe yet for sure. Guess we'll find out for sure in a month or so.

The weather isn't looking too good for this (at least in my areas report), is there a rain date scheduled if the weather sucks?

If I end up not being able to make the dyno meet planned for the 2nd, I will try to make it to this one. I don't have an LS yet, but I definitely want to hit the dyno in the GTA.

Yeah it probably wasn't a good idea having that story posted up on the net, especially in E Liverpool. Those cars might just start disappearing or being vandalized now that everybody knows they are there.

Yep, I just read it. I will have to cruise out there when I get bored and snap some pics.

I recall seeing this years ago when I was going through E. liverpool which is about 30 minutes from here. I might have to go check it out sometime and see if they are still there.

As I said over on ls1tech, I should be there for as long as my exhaust is fixed. I didn't know you were in Canton Bob, we'll have to meet up at the Sonic in N canton sometime for some cruisin and food when I'm in the area.

I saw one almost exactly like that in Columbus. I think it was the day of the cookout at Clifford Automotive when I was riding with Tina in her Formula to go get an alternator and it drove by us going the other way. I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw it and I did it again when I saw the one posted up here.:barf:

Me and the wife are hoping to make it, but I will not be showing the car. The rules for the judging sounds pretty damn anal to me from what I read of it and I am way too lazy and have better things to do than to go clean my car with a Q tip and a toothpick to try to impress people.
