I thought the zeta was cancelled, and that it was more of a technique than a chassis? I have given up on what zeta is...

 

Welp, all I can tell you turbo, is that I've confirmed it as Zeta from a trusted source.

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.

 

thanks for keeping me clued in Charlie. seems like it all makes sense.

 

Thanks Doug for the resizing.

I'll post some thoughts later, when I get some time.

 

sorry, by the way you talked i thought you had such a picture or i would have emailed the one i did last night...

 

Charlie,

Thank Ed ^^ for the pic...I just linked you to his.

Thanks Ed!

 

Thanks Ed.

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.

 

Isn't the center section (purple-ish) where the resonator is, the section where length could be taken from?

I'm guessing from 6" - 9" could be removed w/o much trouble....

 

More pics (Thanx ICON)...this is the bottom of a CTS-V....looks damned close.....

 

I can't for the life of me figure out why pics of th3 CTS front suspension keep popping up. Is everybody blind? The CZ6 does not have A-arms.

 

Unfortunately...I think they keep popping up because other than that fact, the rest of the Sigma platform looks alot like the CZ6, other than a few suspension componenets...not exact, but semi close

 

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?

 

One other comment.....either the spare tire is going to take up space in the trunk / hatch or we're getting run-flats...the mufflers are taking up the space where the Sigma had a spare well.

 

Very COOL stuff, this is all making a lot of sense to me.
