In the first video podcast on General Motors? official FastLane corporate blog, the Wall Street Journal?s Detroit Bureau Chief Joe White interviews GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz at the North American International Auto Show about the design and heritage of the Camaro concept vehicle. Yesterday, GM officially unveiled the new Chevrolet Camaro Concept at NAIAS in Detroit. Lutz has also posted his thoughts on the Camaro Concept on the company?s blog. He mentions that if the Dodge Challenger?s 25 horsepower advantage over the Camaro becomes a problem, ?I would just reply that we have a certified 1OO more on tap from the ZO6 engine, should the need arise.?

Just what we need, a Shelby GT500 all over again. $10K markup here we come.

[EDIT]While it would be awesome, of course, I seriously doubt they could keep up with demand on that.[/EDIT]

And yea, did the mulleted masses rejoice, for their 80's haircuts would soon be able to billow freely in the wind of the new Camaro.

The articles that I read about the car say that GM doesnt even have a viable platform to build it on right now.
