1999 Formula WS6 M6-sold- 2001 Silverado Z71
the G8 is a 4 door rwd car with either a V6 or V8 engine. What are you smoking?
ME TOO!!! except I work at a Cadillac and HUMMER dealership
Well that GM Global Zeta/Sigma platform is IRS so there is a 99% chance the new Camaro and G8 (both Zeta or Sigma or whatever they wanna call it now) will both be IRS. Do you have some insider info or are you just guessing on a solid rear axle?

Well I did some research and according to GM's service information, the G8's rear is IRS, so I'd guess the Camaro would be also.

There is still no word on what the 'other' RWD vehicle will be at Oshawa, but a deal has just been signed to build it at the Camaro plant link:
http://www.cbc.ca/cp/business/080515/b0515115A.html
Under the deal reached with GM Thursday, a plant in Oshawa, Ont., will begin producing a rear-wheel drive car in addition to the Camaro sports car, slated to enter production later this year.

They might switch production of the G8 from Austrailia over to Oshawa when Oshawa is ready for them. Otherwise there was talk of a RWD Impala but I think that idea is dead like the 'Bird

From what I have heard, and this is completely speculative, there may be an option for a solid read axle or IRS....with the solid rear cosing more (go figure)
Call me crazy but shouldn't a muscle car naturally come with a solid rear axle? Leave the IRS to the Vette and the Goat.

I don't consider our cars muscle cars, no muscle cars sense the 60's. High performance or sports cars yes, still I agree the solid axle should come standard.

Fadeing Grey- 1994 Chevy Astro Van
Did anyone see the recent issue of Pontiac Enthusiast? It had a little article talking about a new firebird. Some thing like it would depend on the sales of the Camaro and Mustang. And firebird sales just can't eat up the Camaro sales.
