I'm an Engineer for a bearing company at the R&D facility and we're running a test for a bearing on a GM truck. The Engineer from GM offered me a keychain and some other little items and I told him if it didn't have a blue oval, I wasn't interested. He politely withdrew the offer but didn't speak much afterwards

I agree!

I'd be deeply offended and refuse the offer too!

Of course I let him know I was just harassing him (still didn't take his keychain) We had a great talk about the new Camaro and how it will compare to the S-197.

He wouldn't go into to much specifics but said he expected the z28 to have about 125 more HP at the wheels than the GT.

That's a good point. The concept has been around so long how can the thing be considered new.
Why does it take so long to get it to market?
Some could be tired of the bodystyle before it even gets into the showrooms.
I would have had it on the market no later than the time Transformers was released.
