And it appears that whole Sigma-Lite thing fell through months ago. But Chevy is still getting it's cars, not so true about everyone else.
We're back to Zeta now, it's uncancelled. So I hope our Aussie friends on this board, keep us well informed.

Really fast, the CAD seems slightly longer in length and wheelbase than the current GTO.
What I was expecting for Camaro was a slightly longer than current GTO wheelbase and shorter than GTO length.
Could be that this is a CAD of the original Zeta GTO/Chevy coupe chassis.
I've got to work on this alittle.
Stay tuned.

Ed,
I realize that too....in fact, we've been discussing Sigma-Lite here for years and the CAD seems to show where Sigma lost some $$$
If you look at the purple and grey lower control pieces....it apears that they took the place of the cast aluminum A-arm on the CTS...along with using Macpherson struts instead of coil-over type on the CTS.
Looks like the front engine / suspension cradle is different.....I wonder if they'll interchange?

My bad, i see what i'm doing wrong here.
I'm fixating on the suspension, but the front subframe and even gas tank placement is undeniably sigma inspired if not based. K-member doesn't really look like either to me.
How does the fuel pump pick-up work in a tank with 2 low spots?
