I'm sure the ground effects are so they can be painted, and the same with the rear spoiler. I'm also wondering if there are all these color combos how one color not being available is a deal breaker. Remember, this is all about making the car yours, so if you need to just have it painted or put stripes you like on it later. No big deal at least there is a Camaro now. Gotta feel good about that!

Back: 225/50-18's on 7" rims.
Being a drag car has little to do with it. The front tires handle not just most of the braking, but also the handling and getting down power all with the same 2 tires has everything to do with it:
" With a design that puts all the heavy powertrain hardware up front, front-drive cars invariably have a pronounced forward weight bias, 64/36 percent in this case. As a consequence, the front wheels carry more than their fair share of the car's mass, diluting the ability of the tires to transmit steering inputs. Worse, the front tires are also required to transmit power to the pavement, and all things being equal, the poor things just can't handle their multiple assignments as well as the front tires of rear-drive cars. The result is understeer. The faster the driver herds the car into a turn, the more it wants to go straight.
Pontiac's solution to these two inherent front-drive directional control problems—understeer and torque steer—is unique. Instead of four tires of equal size, the GXP has a lot more rubber up front than at the rear: Bridgestone Potenza RE050As, 255/45-18 front, 225/50-18 rear.

one thing i see right now that i dont like is it says the seats are power recliners... I would rather have a lever than wait an eternity for the seats to lay flat. And i hope that doesnt mean to get someone in the back seats you have to stand around forever waiting on the power seats to move forward like the gto...
glad to see a LSD on the m6 v6 though...

I understand everyone's got the "no blue" blues on the SS...but black is there, so I'm happy . Maybe they're saving white and blue for the SS convertible? Just trying to make sense of it. I was hoping to see more images of the options, like the center console WITHOUT the 4-pack, or a real image of the spoiler, ground effects, etc. Kinda hard to order these things without the tangibles, no?

This info should have not been leaked. Our friend Fbodfather was not really happy with the leaks as I read from the other sites. Anyways, he mentioned some things werent correct. I'm sorry for what happened though.

jason usually has a good idea of when stuff is supposed to be out there, so i would think that if he put it up, its fine by GM and Fbodfather. That being said, there has been some stuff in the past (aka the very first leaked pics of the camaro) that were taken down as soon as jason found out that chevrolet wasnt to happy about the leak, so either it is alright, or im sure they will be taken down.

no, the information should not have been released. you can be sure Jason and Chris wouldnt post anything that shouldnt be out there.. but this being the digital age, once the geenie is out of the bottle, theres no putting it back in.
once the info hit the 'net, they put it up here.

Anyways..........
I'm really getting concerned with the 2LT/RS. Kind of worried about the price. That is my dream Trim(With the stripes of course) but I wouldnt mind choosing an 1LT/ RS with dealer installed rally stripes. Would do you all think?

it does suck for that guy, but hey, you publsh something on the internet you get from work with a confidentiality disclaimer at the bottom of each page... not very smart, even if it was done with good intentions.
The information included in this Ordering Workbook is GM confidential and is intended for salesperson and wholesale personnel only. Product information is preliminary. Production models may vary.
and I've read comments with folks pleading with GM to not fire him... he's not an employee of GM. He worked for a local dealership. The dealership fired him.
He'd have been fired anyway if he did work for GM, but folks are barking up the wrong tree.
