Z28 for me means:
1) 302 CU (or 350 for 70-up) 2) manual trans 3) GEARS! 3.73 standard, optional 4.10 4) twin stripes hood/trunk wrapping over the rear spoiler 5) badges, front grill, trunk panel, side fenders 6) NO ground effects. 7) nice compromise of 19 inch liteweight rims and tires that can be rotated front to rear. 8) MSRP about 33-35k Rich |

The early Z/28's did not have lighter parts in them but they were generally lighter due to stock orders being built with very few options. It's extremely rare to find a 67-69 Z/28 "loaded up". Heater and radio delete were also available options which found their way into a few Z cars. The early cars were not available with automatics and A/C due in part to the nature of the solid lifter engine but this also saved on weight. |

Prettey much have a drag strip car than only. I remember people asking for this on the fourth gen and it got shot down by GM. By a vette if you want all this. |

something that can come damn close to go toe to toe with the Z06 out of the box, and keep it NA!

An LS7-engined torque monster, full carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber trunk lid, no automatic, no sunroof, no back seats, no sound proofing, no leather, no HIDs, no OnStar... all else would be ZL-1 spec, but with simpler suspension built for the track only, and maybe even lighter wheels, 4 colors only (black, white, red, yellow). Base Price: $53,000 |
if they did one it would have to be an inexpensive to produce option. My thoughts would lead them toward an ss with a more wild cam and or tune. Suspension tweaks and brake upgrades. I would also see it as a manual only car with a short throw standard. Different wheels an minor tweaks like a graphics package. I wouldn't expect anything to drastic. I would think it would follow closly with Fords BOSS 302.

I would like to see the Z28 as a performance package available on several trim levels.
1. Delete of several items, like AC and much of the sound insulation. 2. Wheels lighter than any available now. 3. Racing seats 4. Choice of several rear end ratios. |

It's possible, but honestly it doesn't make any sense from a financial perspective. Generically, the ZR1 is what everyone assumed the Z28 would be, and honestly really just represents GM playing catch-up to Ford - which was their primary reason for bringing back the Camaro in the first place. Now, they will have a trim level for pretty much every realistic price range for the 5th gen. Any new factory trim level is therefore going to be in competition with an already existing one, anything above that would put it in competition with the Vette. This is part of what got them into bankruptcy in the first place, so it is certainly possible that they will do it again. I just don't believe they will. |

No the Z28 did not have special light weight materials, but in Gen 1 you could pick and choose almost every detail if you wanted. And yes I know that not economically feasible any more. I'm far from a Mustang person, but Ford has allot going for them in the GT 350 & Boss 302 as far as options. |

This I could agree with, no way it's going to be anything more than some minor tweaks and different badging. The problem with this, though, is that it's not going to be enough to make anyone that already owns a 5th gen be willing to take a bath on their current car in order to upgrade to a Z28, so their target market is going to be those that have considered and already rejected purchasing a 5th gen. I'm not sure that even those small changes would be cost effective in that respect. |
