I hadn't seen this mentioned on here yet so hopefully it's not a repost. Making the announcement in the weeks leading up to SEMA seems more plausible than many of the other predictions I've read. Maybe the general is using this time to get a production version ready to make a debut.

 

MAN!!!!!!!!! I wasn't going to go this year, but if its the official announcement, I may have to.

 

Perhaps this rumor will prove to be true.

 

Interesting to see the 3 big brands work together when soon later there gona be killing eachother in the market. Very interesting though.

 

Are you freakin kidding me?!?!?! I have never been to SEMA let alone Vegas and this year I'm actually going the weekend of the NHRA National Event at LVMS and will be in town until Nov 1st. I may have to take time out of my busy gambling schedule to stop over at SEMA.

Now how hard is it going to be to convince the boyfriend???

 

That is becuase the big 3 are getting hurt by everyone else. The best thing they can do is ban together and defeat the Japanese and German invaders.

 

Smart move. They are bringing all of their cars together, so that when people see them, instead of saying "look at that Camaro" "check out that Challenger" "Wow look at that Mustang" etc. They will say "look at that American muscle."
Its a good way to promote nationalistic feelings. Now only if they do it to the tune of STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER, and have all three cars peeling out, one with standard tires, and the other two with those new tires that make red and blue smoke.

 

hrmm... my wifes been wanting to go to vegas.

Sema here we come! hehe

 

While I think we all here know that the LS9 isn't going to be a Blown LS7 and maybe not even "LS9"; but to think of a Blown LS7 is just insane. heh

Although, if I recall the Cylinders are too thin and couldn't handle the blower correct?

 

Read it again gang... they're suggesting the announcement will come "ahead" of SEMA, meaning before the event.

 

Was this not suggested in the title by the use of "Pre-SEMA" as in "before-SEMA"

I think everyone is hoping that GM would have a production version at the show, which is why they would want to be there.

 

We just gota hope its not another rumor and actually something GM said and will do to make us all happy.

 

You seemed clear on that.
Not likely.

If it is going to be released next spring/summer as a 2008 model, then there is a remote possibility. However, I think even if that were the case, the 2007 Detroit Auto Show would be a more logical place to unveil the production version.

I'm guessing were still a year away from seeing the production version... however an announcement could come much sooner than that.

FWIW, the 40th anniversary of the Camaro is this September.

 

Just don't forget that until January 8th, all the 5th gen was to the general public was a rumor. And boy, did it make us happy

 

I hope to hear something soon. I need to figure out finances and how i can pull off getting one of these things .
