From reading yesterdays ny times, and today on aol....

They have pics of the GTR, so it is NOT a photoshop, they have interior pics and such.

From the ny times they said soltice will have a chevy platform mate called sportster, and then a buick and a saab i believe.

The veelite is a turbo i6, producin 400 hp.

the mustang will have a gtr, the gt is 300 horse gt for 25k, and a 400hp SVT will be out as 2006 model, and have IRS. for 35k

 

I6 or V6?

 

the new mt said if it was inline or v, i honestly am not sure, leaning towards i6.

 

I6 is actually a good thing. It means a V8 will fit with no problems and won't be halfway covered by the cowl.

 

To bad it isn't an I6. I hope everyone here has already seen the pics of the under hood and seen the HF 60° V6 in there. If not go to C&G or Gminsidenews. Both sites have the pictures up. By the way Pacer a V8 will fit Zeta with NO problem. I wouldn't be suprised to see some evidence in exterior of the future Chevy V8 sports coupe in the Chevy Sportster if it does show up, doubtfull we would have heard something about it from the insiders. The sporster may just be another Styling Exercise like the 99 Nomad and the SS concept were.

 

Did they say which SVT model would be out? We already know from Ford that the top end Cobra won't be out until June 2006 (2007MY).

 

It is a Twin Turbo 3.6L DOHC V6.

 

I really hope that the Chevrolet Kappa car is different than the Solstice. I really think that a different version of the same car will just diminish the impact of both models. I know that this sentiment has been voiced before.

I am really hoping that the different divisions market complementary versions of Kappa as opposed to competing with each other. I really like the notion of a Pontiac convertible - Solstice, a Saturn 2+2 coupe - Curve and the Chevrolet sport wagon - Nomad. I thought this approach to niche marketing really had merit. I guess we'll see.

 

nope, just said svt

 

Chevy doesn't need a Solstice vert. If They want Chevrolet to have a cheap convertable then they should speed up Camaro development. Or build a Cobalt convertable. The 4 seater Convertable market is bigger than the 2 seater.
