January 9, 200719 yr Zeta version 2.0 due out 2013. For the plus-size zetas. It will be the basis for the new Impala (LS2), GTO (400 horsepower Northstar 5.1L), Chevelle SS (LS7), Skylark (LS8) & Regal Grand National (twin-turbo 3800). The smaller Zeta 1.0 wil underpin the Camaro, Grand Prix & Firebird T/A. Also I have a bridge to sell you in Winslow Arizona. honestly I have NO idea WTH that is.
January 9, 200719 yr Well GMX-001 is the Cobalt and GMT-001 is the HHR, but I'm not sure what LNF is.
January 9, 200719 yr Well if T is the GM Europe code, could it be an Astra?T is the truck code, hence GMT900, GMT355...The Astra is on an update T-body but it likely has its own GMX code as well.
January 10, 200719 yr LNF . . . I think that might be an engine code. Turbo engine? Not sure. But my gut tells me that is an engine code.
January 10, 200719 yr LNF 2.0L turbo ecotec (Soltice GXP Sky Redline future Cobalt SS)Oh, duh. Thanks for clearing that up.
January 12, 200719 yr Or is it for new versions of Chevy Laguna, Buick Apollo, Pontiac Star Chief , or the new sub brand for GMC, "OldsCutlass"?
January 12, 200719 yr Well if T is the GM Europe code, could it be an Astra?You're thinking of the old Astra VIN code. It designates a related production series, not an actual platform. Every manufacturer uses them, but not everyone uses a single designation for one model, or updates them with each model change. Daewoo generally inherited it's letter designations from GM Europe, ut the platforms may now be completely different. GM Europe's product development codes are actually in the form of GM4400, GM2900, GM3200 etc, although you may also see tham as J2900, Z3200, A3300, T3000. Like most manufacturers GM rarely changes the VIN letter for the model even if the platform is completely different. Thus everything from the Original Isuzu Aska, Opel Ascona and Chevy Cavalier through the previous Vectra and 9-3 to the current Chevrolet Optra is a J-body, the original fwd Opel Kadett through to the current Chevy Aveo is a T-body, from the Opel Rekord through to the latest Holden Commodore, but also the fwd Daewoo Tosca/Chevrolet Epica is a V-body.Current GM VIN codes are: D-CTS, DTS M-Solstice, Sky Y-corvette and XLR X-Corsa, Tigra, Combo T-Aveo J-Optra K-DTS H-Lucerne E-SRX, 9-5 F-9-3 A-cobalt, Ion, Astra, Zafira, Chevrolet Vectra V-GTO, Epica, Commodore W-Caprice, Statesman, LaCrosse, Regal, Impala, Grand Prix Z-Vectra, Signum, Aura, Malibu, G6 L-Vue, Equinox, Torrent C-Captiva, Antara U-fwd mpv
January 13, 200719 yr When I read Regal Grand National (twin-turbo 3800) Turbo I was seriously going to violently masturbate. But I guess that's a joke.
January 15, 200719 yr Oh, duh. Thanks for clearing that up. What a 260hp Direct Injection Cobalt, oh man that sounds sweet it wasn't that long ago that the best the Corvette could do was 250hp.
