I really like the looks of this. Awesome daily.

2

Didn’t Buick get shut down?

3

dope

4

So basically they’re wasting more money and just making the current Regal GS rwd. Great use of that government bail out GM

5

Looks like they are basically recycling a lot of stuff that has already been developed to get back into the 4 door RWD “muscle” sedan market. So relative to engineering a new vehicle the cost can’t be that bad.

6

new LT1?

7

The C7 Corvettes motor has been released and it’s under the name “LT1”. Completely different than the old one

8

needs to be a 2door. It looks ugly as shit IMO

9

It’s probably actually that forced induction V6 they are supposedly working on. The RPO code for the 4 cam 3.6 DFI motors in the camaros is LLT. Atleast that would be my best guess.

10

:excited

11

dat grille

:wtf2

12

Its going on the Alpha platform that the new ATS is based, not converting the current chassis to RWD.

The car is a t/t 3.6 lt based off of the caddy cts platform . Should be a quick car and a great setup as long as they get a better timing chain in it .

19

They give it the lt1 name cause every other lt1 was a semi minor change to a current motor that brought out huge results . Just like the solid roller ltwon back in the day ,made way more stock power than a base 5.7 lt , the 2nd gen ltwon was lightyears better than a t.p.I setup and this one is far better than a ls3 …

A low production gnx would be sick, wouldn’t give a fuck if it had 13 doors.
