  1. Maybe they can combine the silver car and the hood on the tease photo. The grill and the wheels are what look the best on the silver car.
  2. It's legit. Just go read the front page, below the photo of the Z28.
  3. 1,284 billion, trillion dollars
  4. The judge had to give him leave to amend his complaint because if he didn't then a real lawyer might get involved on a completely different matter.
  5. The car in the photo looks like something James Bond would drive.
  6. CTSv engine in a lighter package! I can't wait for this thing to get some track time!
  7. We Have Z28! GM confirms the Chevrolet Camaro Z28 for 2011 Thanks to PCS for the update on this great looking car! Check out all the details here
  8. GM Confirms the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Is a Go Robert Dillman, September 28th, 2009 Story Link The fifth generation Camaro is currently flying off the showroom floors and perspective buyers have a few model choices when it comes to decision time. There are the LT and LS models with respectable V6 engines or the supped-up SS variant with a crowd-pleasing 6.2-liter V8. However, there is still one Camaro we have all been waiting for, and now GM is saying (again) that we will get it. During the Frankfurt Motor Show, representatives from General Motors confirmed suspicions of the Camaro Z28 being built and sold sometime in late 2011. Not very convenient considering the Z28 was basically completed earlier this year but was put on hold when GMs financial health dropped to an all-time low. Well now the great American automaker has climbed from the grips of bankruptcy and the Camaro Z28 project must be finished. So here are the details we have gathered so far: it will use a 6.2-liter V8, similar to that of the SS version but this one is supercharged. Concrete power numbers are not final yet, but this engine also powers the newest Cadillac CTS-V, where it makes 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque. Keep in mind, however, that the Z28 will be almost 300 pounds lighter than the CTS-V, so expect 0 to 60 times under four seconds and a top speed of 193 mph (with the manual transmission). Speaking of gearboxes, the Z28 will most likely be offered only in a full-manual six-speed option (due to the higher cost of the automatic). The appearance of the 2011 Z28 will not stray far from the pictures that GM released sometime ago. Compared to the current Camaro models, the Z28 will get updated 20-inch wheels that are gunmetal in color and resemble those seen often in Formula One and Rolex car series races. The Z28 gets a different mesh grille with updated badges and a bigger hood scoop to accommodate the new blown engine. Other body enhancements include a restyled rear bumper cover and a taller lip spoiler. Expect pricing of the Z28 to exceed current SS models by at least $8,000, but not to grow anywhere near Corvette money. GM would like to keep the Camaro Z28 as its original pony car for the average-income car lover. If the General keeps his word and GM builds this thing, we believe it will become a workhorse and a collectors item for Camaro lovers everywhere
  9. Makes me want one. This thing hopefully will be able to conquest some people. For once, saying that actually has some meaning and not just some wishful thinking.
  10. I wouldn't be too worried about CAFE. Every time they raise the CAFE numbers, every auto company becomes doubting thomases. Yet, they still find a way to meet the legal requires and INCREASE power output.
  11. Awesome! This guy is trolling the United States Federal Court System!
  12. Story Link Man sues BofA for "1,784 billion, trillion dollars" By Joe Rauch Joe Rauch – Fri Sep 25, 1:21 pm ET NEW YORK (Reuters) – Dalton Chiscolm is unhappy about Bank of America's customer service -- really, really unhappy. Chiscolm in August sued the largest U.S. bank and its board, demanding that "1,784 billion, trillion dollars" be deposited into his account the next day. He also demanded an additional $200,164,000, court papers show. Attempts to reach Chiscolm were unsuccessful. A Bank of America spokesman declined to comment. "Incomprehensible," U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said in a brief order released Thursday in Manhattan federal court. "He seems to be complaining that he placed a series of calls to the bank in New York and received inconsistent information from a 'Spanish womn,'" the judge wrote. "He apparently alleges that checks have been rejected because of incomplete routing numbers." Chin has experience with big numbers. He's the judge who sentenced Bernard Madoff to a 150-year prison sentence for what the government called a $65 billion Ponzi scheme. Bank of America Corp faces real legal problems, including New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's threat to sue its chief executive and a judge's embarrassing rejection of a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Yet the money Chiscolm wants could dwarf all the bank's other problems. It's larger than a sextillion dollars, or a 1 followed by 21 zeros. Chiscolm's request is equivalent 1 followed by 22 digits. The sum also dwarfs the world's 2008 gross domestic product of $60 trillion, as estimated by the World Bank. "These are the kind of numbers you deal with only on a cosmic scale," said Sylvain Cappell, New York University's Silver Professor at the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences. "If he thinks Bank of America has branches on every planet in the cosmos, then it might start to make some sense." Judge Chin gave Chiscolm until October 23 to better explain the basis for his claims, or else see his complaint dismissed. (Reporting by Joe Rauch; Editing by Lisa Von Ahn)
  13. Why do computer nerds hate so much? It's like every computer forum is like that.
  14. They are just following the lead of their American counterparts. The only difference is, they were getting government bailouts long before GM and Chrysler were.
  15. General Motors Vice Chairman of Global Product Development Tom Stephens: "Is there room for the Zeta platform in the U.S." What do you think? Should GM bring Zeta back to the U.S.?
  16. Fun to watch, but really. . . Where is xibit?
  17. General Motors still on track for 2010 IPO The Treasury Department says that GM is on track for an Initial Public Offering in 2010, which means the government can start selling off its approximately 60% ownership in GM. Chrysler, on the other hand, is too far away from an IPO to even predict a date. General Motors still on track for 2010 IPO
  18. I haven't sat in the new Camaro, but I really don't see anything substantially wrong with the interior that would make me hate my life everyday that I drove it. It looks cool and who really even looks at oil pressure or battery volts anyways?
  19. The blues brothers had by far the best chase scene. They filmed those scene on lower whacker drive AT SPEED of 110 MPH because Landis didn't think speeding up the film would look good enough.
  20. It seems to me that you have described the Corvette here.
  21. I read about this event on Twitter. Hard to believe that the A pillar was causing viability issues.
  22. Dear postmaster general, my car will not start because fuel cannot get to the battery. Can you help?
  23. Yeah, senior citizens and ricers. Strange group.
  24. Scion I AM YOUR FATHER
