I read this alot. The 3rd gens were lighter, but what was their weight distribution? The 4th gen LT1 cars weren't that great at 57/43 I believe, but the LS1 cars had a weight split of 53/47. They may have weighed more, but more of it was over the right wheels.

By 2010, I'd say a pretty good to darn good chance.

Again, time will tell.
Take notes people this is not the first time Guy has said that Monte might not be a coupe when it comes back. Suicide doors anyone?

Well, maybe no direct replacement for the MC on the horizon, but Chevy will get a RWD alternative to a coupe.

What are the chances of Chevy getting two completely different, RWD, 2+2 coupes?
Did I say two different 2+2 coupes? No.
