I also asked about all the GTO concept drawings and when we will see one, he said the ones i have seen are incorrect and we wont see one for a while because its going to be a totally different body from the Camaro....

VERY Interesting stuff! Im curious to know if the Goat will be retro or what it will be exactly. Does that mean the Grand Prix will go away?
