When the new LT1 z-28's came out in '93, everybody said they looked like Geo storms on steroids, now this looks like a cavalier on steroids I think they will eventually grow on people, but I agree that maybe a different name is in order. These things will never be a Chevelle SS. And the Pontiac version will never be a GTO. Maybe GM should just let go of that era. They keep bringing back names to try to steal the nostalgia from Ford, but what they fail to see (at least publicly) is that Ford never quit making Mustangs, and they only dropped the Thunderbird to design a new one for release a few years later. Hey, at least they are trying, but as long as I can buy a used C-5 for less than one of these new muscle cars, I won't be driving a GTO, or a Chevelle SS. Bottom line is, I think some execs at GM are banging their heads on the wall for axing the Z-28/Trans-am, and this is the cheapest way to replace them for now.

On a side note, I think I have a LT1 with computer and harness lined up for my wifes '71 Chevelle :o We'll do it, if GM can't/won't!!
