Ok, now the pics of the chassis show the rear nearly an exact duplicte to Sigma. Now the front also looked a little big like Sigma, but I was wondering...how would that work if the front end will use struts? Or is the strut thing out the door, and we will get SLA?? I was looking under my Maxx today, and noticed that the front subframe, looks very close to the CZ6 chassis's front end. Any chance of a cross breed, since Epsilon is fairly new and uses aluminum parts that are already paid for and tested??

Not only is it NOT an exact duplicate, it's an entirely different platform.

Ehhhh, the hell with it, nevermind................

DrewSG

I must've missed it.

Care to explain please?

Youve said this a number of times, yet havent given any evidence or anything for us to believe. Im not saying youre wrong, but weve been given nothing to believe in. For those of us who dont have inside knowledge, the chassis in the pics look ALOT like the underside of a CTS-V, regardless of what people say, it LOOKS close.

Z284ever

Well, you don't have to believe me.....just look at the pictures which we can't post here. Look at the IRS. Look at the shape of the spring perches...one's round, one's oval. Look at the placement of the anti-sway bars, they're in completely different locations. Look at the difference in control arms and on and on.

Well, whatever, I don't care....you guys just talk amongst yourselves.

Ok, the design of the rear of that CZ6 looks very close to the Sigma.
I guess I made this thread for a reason... the reason is for Charlie to explain wtf is going on. Few questions for thoes out there.

What is CZ6?
How is it related to Sigma?
How is it related to Zeta?
Why were there CZ6 CAD drawings amungst the concept pictures if it is not in fact a production chassis?

Z284ever

The first time I ever heard of CZ6 was on the CAD drawing.

The CAD IS Zeta.

It's THE platform.

Big Als Z

ok so that CZ6 IS Zeta. Camaro, Zeta, 6cyl. I dunno what it means.
So this IS Zeta.
Where are those pictures of the CTS-V??

Z284ever

I'm not sure if that "CZ6" denotes Camaro specifically though.

MarineReconZ28

Yeah, but is Zeta close to Sigma? Or does it just look like it? It looks to me like they started with Sigma and made Zeta, maybe by using cheaper parts where they could and that is why some of it looks slightly different. Or are the 2 totally unrelated and just happend to look similar to the untrained eye?

Z284ever

I'm told that they are completely different.

Sharker524

Let's not forget that to GM, the LS1 4th gens were considered the 5th generation. So that CZ"6" could just denote Camaro Zeta 6th Gen.

turbo96z28

or CZ6 could just be internal code for Chevy's Zeta platform for 2006 (i know the 2006 part is a reach, but i just felt like speculating)

Z284ever

Or maybe the "C" stands for coupe? Who knows. I wish I knew the exact dimensions.

97z28/m6

can't somebody figure that out using the transmission or something as a scale?
