If there was more of a variety in trim levels, 3 for example, there would be NO reason this car will not reach the sales goal of 160k.
Make a V-6 RS model perhaps, w/ 5-speed or auto
V-8 Z28 430 hp 6-speed, Well built auto trans (5 speed auto!)
V-8 SS 500 hp 6 speed, BEEFY trans/clutch, BEEFY REAR integrate appearance items such as hood scoop, indentifiable spoiler, wheels.
There needs to be significant differances between the trim levels or forget it! They've pretty much turned the "SS" nameplate into an appearance package on sedans, slow SS sport trucks, slow montecarlos (V6s), malibu SS. Come on GM!
This would be awesome!
