GM owns 10% of Fiat Auto and none of Fiat SpA. Fiat SpA owns parts of Fiat Auto (about 80%), Ferrari SpA (about 60%), and GM (about 5%). GM has no connection to Ferrari.

Yes. The Cien has been dead for quite some time. The only officially planned V12 vehicle at the moment is the Escalade. The STS may get it, but that's not official.

sorry but plans for a halo car such as the cien are still in the works or they were supposed to build either the cunningham c7 with a diff. name or they were supposed to resolve something with cunninghams lawsuit and start making it again if not, im sure cadillac will build a kind of supercar if they are making a serious attempt to be the best again and if the new sts has that v-12 it will prob. not be anything like the old one and be some 2 door supercar or something. and if not the cien at least the mosler mt900s is almost all gm except for some interior stuff, engine mods., and a porsche gear box. plus the zo6 now has a faster 0-60, 1/4 mile and slolom speed than the modna and all the rest of the current ferraries cept the enzo, the z06 is also faster than evry current aston, the z06 is also faster than a whole slew of other supercars not to metion the c6 zo6 is supposed to 500bhp and chevy is supposed to build a new grand sport with a v10 or v12 and if anyone says the z06 is not a supercar thay can KISS MY ASS, if chevy builds the ss concept thing that will prob. be as fast as the astons and it will cary your kids and groceries all around town

I don't know the source of your information...but I hope it's not one of the buff books.

The Cien is dead.

The Mosler having a LS1 engine as a powerplant hardly makes it "almost all GM"...besides, Mosler is an independent company COMPLETELY unrelated to GM.

The Corvette is not getting a V10 or V12 anytime soon...and I am not aware of any plans to change this.

I don't care if it WILL be faster. It IS NOT faster. We're not talking about a future car you jackass. The 360 modena does the 1/4 mile in 12.4 seconds vs. the z06's 12.9(?). Big diference...

Car and driver says 12.4.

I don't care if they're the same speed. The Z06 doesn't even come close to the 360 Modena. On a track...the Z06 will get the fucking shit raped out of it. Why don't we put a Koenig modified Modena up against a modified Z06 and see what happend then.

Any true performance car will fly around a track instead of driving in a damn straight line...
