November 23, 200520 yr AUTOWEEK Posted Date: 11/22/05 Camaro coming Dodge won’t get all the muscle car buzz with its Challenger concept at the Detroit auto show this January. Word is General Motors will show a Camaro concept on a stretched Kappa (Solstice, Sky) chassis. The car is set for production as a 2009 model, sources say. The other GM concept for Detroit won’t be a Pontiac Firebird, but more likely will be a Buick crossover. Don't know how accurate this is yet, but will be a big blow to those claiming the Kappa could not be stretched. Fbodfather said last Feb a V8 would fit in the Kappa, so that may have been a clue back then? Note the 2009 fits when the W body is to die and a new GTO is also to arrive. Clues are dropping and with plant closings and lines being dropped when might be able to fit the many peices together soon. A Zeta would be good as when know it is Cheap and the press loves the road manners on the Solstice. Edited November 23, 200520 yr by hyperv6
November 23, 200520 yr You got the "big blow" part right. The Solstice chassis could eat a big block if asked to do so... frame rail sections are 4"x8"and more than 2 feet apart. The best is yet to come, start saving your money.
