I believe Scott talks about current plans, future projects, the show cars, and answers questions from enthusiasts.

May I suggest a topic? That nifty little Colorado SS that made an appearance in the lounge. Discuss it! And of course the camaro. Scott...will you be at the GM Nats in June @ Carlisle? I'll have to get contact info from you to find you.
EDIT: Also the possibility of GM, manual, and AWD in the future (as I will not have another daily driver that won't have it or 4wd capability).

Yes, do discuss a Colorado SS. That would be a cool car and if priced right (25K) a good seller.

Scott told everyone that showed up, not to post up anything he said. This is why I never go to these things, he did the same thing the last two years. Anything I hear directly gets posted on here.
Big two things I heard were that GM would look to sell 100,000 units and expect a quick V6 as one of the offerings.

Sounds like we might see something in 2008. Keep your fingers crossed.
can someone pm me the info? I'm dying to know...

Sorry, Scott strictly mentioned nothing can be repeated.
Trust me, wait and it is going to be worth it.
Also, you can do a search for all posts by 'fbodfather' and look at what he has to say. He's right on par.

I hope it was good news on the weight, 3500 or less please! If the weight is right it can come out in 2010.

Blah blah blah.
Scott told everyone that the car might be built, and that it might be built in 2008. Might have 4-5 engine choices including a 300hp V6. Might see two v8's, one that make a lot more power than the base v8.
What Scott doesn't get is that passing on anecdotal comments to 30 folks, and then telling them not to tell everyone else just pisses everyone else off.
Scott said that GM has to sell 100k units for it to make sense.
Scott, We have 300,000 unique visitors every month. My guess is that you guys could do a better job of getting enthusiasts to spread the word. Once you guys put any car out for bids on seats and other stuff anyway I'll hear what the car is gong to be and post it here anyway. :)

Pro Stock John- I have never met you in person, but you being a mod both on here and MFBA.org, wouldn't you be a little more censored about the information that was initially meant to not leave the discussion room? If you did get the information somehow, thats fine. Do not have to tell the whole world about it.
Just my 2 cents.
Flame on.

You do not tell a room full of ppl something and then not expect it to get out. The FBFr knows that this stuff will get out. Pro Stock John is simply doing what is expected.

I did not go to that gathering scrmnws6.
And I see you drank the coolaid. I don't go to these gatherings because I will NOT promise NOT to pass on the info. Simple as that.
Sounds like the earliest we might see something is the fall of 2007, as a 2008 model. I also heard the roofline might not be final, but the interior compartment is lower like a vette so there is already a lot of seating room up front.
We hear stuff all the time.

I was just curious, thats all.
