and it has the new camaro on the cover! :woot:
some details:
ls2 with active fuel management (GMs name for cylinder shutoff)
6 speed tranny
four wheel independent suspension with mcpherson-strut front, multi link rear, progressive coil springs and gas presurized dampers (oolala!!)
four wheel disk, 15 inch rotors (god damn!!) with four piston calipers (hell ya!)
cast aluminum 21 inch front and 22 inch rear wheels :)
tires are 275/30 front and 305/30 rear :drive:
not to mention the functional hood scoop and rear fender air inlets!!
no word on weight thought....under or around 3400 would be nice.
Even thought it is still a concept car it looks like it is going to be pretty badass! I cant wait!!!
the Mitsubishi Concept X also looks extremely badass!

like: LS2, IRS, Fuel shutoff, big brakes
dont like: huge rims, 17 should be fine, that will just slow it down, and those tires are soo expensive, i go throught tires like hookers (see sig)

Nice. As long as I can edit DOD with tuning software I'll give it my thumbs up.

gaudy?
I just don't see this car being too mod friendly for us straight line guys. I can't picture it on big n' littles. Plus the IRS will break. But I'd pimp the wheels off it for a driver though!

It will be sold with 18's max. a car that costs ~25k will not require a grand to change the tires.

:werd:
I'm guessing they'll probably change the wheel well so a 17" or a 18" fills it up good. That's just my guess though...

It is a concept, things WILL change before it goes into production. Tire size will be smaller, the mirrors will be bigger, and hopefully it will get a new interior.

I want the car exactly how it with the exception of the interior. Hopefully they will change that. Mine will be more of a DD if I get one and the current Z will be the straight line car.

"As long as I can edit DOD with tuning software I'll give it my thumbs up."
Not I. The DOD hardware in the cylinders creates excess mass to be spun during hard driving and thus lowering the maximum rev-limit.

Oh and 17's or perhaps 18's at most would be cool. I would love to be able to put 305's on all four corners...
