I don't see this posted anywhere, yet. Where I received it on Xmas Eve, off the 4th gen f-body list. Looks like The General may have something in store for us f-body enthusiast after the 1st of the year, in the way of an announment. Don't know if, there's any truth to it. Just figured I'd past it on.

Later,
Don
