The new car will be built alongside the Caddy XLR two seat luxuary sport coupe. The Caddy will have more plush amenities but the vette will get an signifigant upgrade in the interior appointments.
This version will be the best handling, best performing, and most apprpriately equipped Corvette to roll off the Bowling Green line.
As far as the Camaro you can expect to see Bob Luts bring back the name plate based on the initial sales reaction of the new retro 05 Mustang.
The SSR is suppose to be a comparable replacement for the Camaro but will not be able to capture as broad a demographic. The chatter unconfirmed is that Chevrolet would like to bring back the camaro as a specialty car like the SSR that will have retro influence of the 67-69 model years.
With the Holden platformed GTO in production....it is doubtful the Firebird will return....but you never know
The problerm witht e f-body was that in the end it was just a few more dollars off the sticker than the vette. This alienated the very market the car has always been designed to appeal to....the youth market. A young guy could no longer afford to buy the rumbling V8 tire smoking heritage of the Camaro/Firebird
Gm fucked up and left that market wide open for the mustang
I think the vette is still a touch too conservative. I would like to see how this new version looks after a couple of years. Will there be a 500 horse Z06???
There had better be if they want a chip in the world GT market

I put together a 425 hp 81 Camaro during my highschool time, thats where my Chevy love started. The Camaro will be back... it better.
A z06.... I am sure there will be if not Lingenfelter will be able to help
