Default 2009???

Do we know anything yet to what if anything is going to be changed other than color choices in 2009. I know I havent even had my 2007 for a year now but I am getting tired of the black and would like to have a LS3.

No real changes. GM updated the steering rack and the software and hardware for AH and TC. You can also get bluetooth, which I am sure will be available as an aftermarket product soon. Besides the ZR1, that is it.

I didnt say I rather have the Shelby. lol. That is why I didnt buy one. The interior is !!

And for the Nitrous Comment. It will definately make it a close run. But, I have been there done that and all I did was fill tanks once a week and got old. lol

I know. The interior is not so nice. If the car was 300lbs lighter and didnt look like a ford escape next to a normal car, i would own one right now.

The manufacturer's normally make some upgrades that they don't issue press releases for. If GM were to upgrade the sycno's on the MN6 or make a minor change in the internal breathing of the engine, or change the half shaft diameters for 2009, these wouldn't necessarily be advertised as they don't involve RPO numbers. Same goes for running changes during the model year.

Try saving yourself some money and doing some mods, and i'm not just talking about norm ones, try something fun like rims or a supercharger something extravagant so your 07 will kick an 09's ***.

I think bluetooth sucks anyway. Tried many headsets and hated them all.
I am waiting for bluetooth II. I hope they can make the quality better.
