For thoses who think performance is dead at GM

In case you don't know, Scott Settlemire, he's one of the lead people on the F-body (Camaro/Trans Am) platform and interacts with the Y-Body (Corvette) team. This is a note from him in regards to the passing of the latest generation of the Camaro and Trans Am.

I Sure Hope There IS Hope For Gm. We Need A Truck To Compete With Fords Lightning

CM: I read that note also the other day, and I agree.

I find it very hard to believe GM would permanently drop the Camaro/Firebird, at least not if there is any rationality left @ HQ!

GM just seems to have a lot of inertia, and takes time to get change approved, let alone in place (hope Bob Lutz can change this), but I have said this before, GM can build the best cars in the world - they just need to decide/realize that it's in their best interests to do it!

I talk to Scott almost weekly when i can. By email, and sometimes by phone. He is honest to God, one of the nicest people i've met.

He arragined for me to go to Bragg-Smith next month!

Great things are in store at GM!

Rumors are the f-body will be back in 2005, but those are just rumors
