It's like two kids describing their dads to each other when neither has seen the other kids dad... talking about who's dad could kick who's ***, who's stronger, who drives a cooler car, etc, etc... but the day they finally meet, neither kid will say a word about what they've spent the last 2 years talking about because they don't want dad to hear.

Exactly. I think everyone is in some kind of shock.

If GM will allow us, let's turn it into a positive thing and get a huge buzz going for the new Camaro! It's only one month away, with us enthusiasts going crazy in joy for seeing the pics, let's create even MORE excitement for NAIAS.

Re: I find it extremely funny
I'm now convinced that the next gen GTO will look similiar to the Camaro concept. Only because the "camaro" concept reminded me alot of the 99 GTO Concept, especially the roofline and rear 1/4 panels.
Maybe GM will also show the next GTO at NAIAS. I heard that it would along with a Sunfire replacement. But who knows anymore of what's really going on at GM.

same as here... the more we talk about what we saw, the more GM might be pissed off and want to legally charge the adminstration of LS1Tech.com of theft and vandilism. These pictures theft is likely to cost GM a lot of money, so... how is bomb not relevent... if Jason says dont talk about it, if Scott says not to talk about it, its for the best intrest of GM and fellow enthusiasts...

So its sort of like putting your hand on a hot stove...after a few posts got deleted and the Announcement went up about it then we all kind of got the picture that it was taboo here.

Newbie.....forget it, it's not relative in my eyes. If it is in yours, ok.
Chris...Ok. And as I stated in my first post, if that is the decision of those that run the site, then I'll respect it (agree or not).
