Yes, the next generation GTO and that includes the new Camaro will be 
the next generation Monero body and I would guess that the suspension 
would have some upgrades.  The car may be lighter, and I also hope they 
design it from the start to meet US safety regulations and put the gas 
tank where it should be, and not in the trunk!  :)
