Actually the F-body platform (Trans-ams,Camaros) was just temporarily put on the back burner to increase Corvette sales, and to boost interest so people will snap them up when they bring them back in late 2007. It's all just marketing hype BS with those cars.
Really? Well, I've been out of the f-body circles for a while. Seeing as how a 2001 T/A goes for $40K+ here, I don't think I'm going to be able to afford one anytime soon.
