But if they remake the Chevelle, camaro, or firebird they'll just hire some Australian team like they did for the gto and end up with another crappy remake like the charger with four doors. What they need to do is just copy ford and keep most of the body lines and just smooth a few things out. I wonder what year they'd pick for a remake of the Chevelle though?? -RJ
