Hmm, I wouldn't mind one of those new Cobalt SS' either. Nice little car.

I guess this means no kick-*** versions of the Camaro, at least from GM.

Ford did that with the SVT division a while ago.

Wonder how long it'll be before the SRT disappears from Dodge?

Those cobalt ss are fast as hell for a little car.

I bet GM will still make some hotrods. They just won't have their own division. Look at Ford they killed SVT and they just previewed the new SHO, the new stupid powered Mustang.

I wouldn't put much worries into it.

Sorry Herc, but where did you hear that SVT was dead? I'm looking around online, and not seeing it anywhere.

What this article is what I was refering too. But from what Ford is saying looks more like what I was saying GM will do. The people and products will be there only in a different guise.
