My local dealer is selling new Z28's
 

The local Chevy dealer in my town is adding cold air intake, changing exhaust, adding aluminun head covers, tuning, and adding Z28 emblems and selling them on the lot with warranty. They are also claiming 530 hp from 426. The salesman started one up for me yesterday and man did that exhaust sound sweet. Does that increase in hp sound right?

:idiot:

:sm0:

I'll get a picture the next time I ride by.

Don't tell GM.

That is total B.S. Please post pictures.

So your dealer is turning a questionable and unethical practice formerly perpetrated by lothsome individuals into a standard business practice that will leave some buyers with fake Z/28s. While the dealer may make a few dollars on this practice, I personally feel like the purchasers are getting totally screwed. Sure would like to see an end put to the practice by a dealer..........are you listening GM??

As long as the customers buying the "Z-28" realize its a dealer put together
package and not a factory offering what's the harm?

defintely get some pics as soon as you can!! What is the name of the dealer they may have pics on their website

:facepalm:

yeah
take a look at this vid

gm made thousands of miles of testing and adjusting (call it tuning if you want) with a car that was supposed to be the Z28 (and will be sold as the ZL1 as we all know today)
a ZL1 is a highly sophisticated high performance (ready to race) sportscar (take a look at all what is done to the underpinnings, drivetrain, aerodynomics...)
and not just an Camaro SS with some bold on mods:facepalm:

it is not only supposed:rolleyes: horsepower, it is the complete package, which makes the difference

Just wondering how much more $$ does he ask for the car ?

I'm sure the dealer doesn't own the name Z28. Can you say trademark infringement?

:word: If you make it, they will come. lol

if you buy that car how would you explain to people its not really a Z28

Be aware that stupidity from a dealer is very contagious , specially late in the summer .

...get some pictures...and post them here...

WTF are they going to do when a real Z/28 comes out of hiding?

Theft of the Z28 name aside ... intake, exhaust, & tune, and they claim +104 hp? :facepalm:

ridiculous smh

I want one.....:drool:

I wondering how does the badgin look like?

:sm0:

+1 :sm0:

Would that be dealer performance package ZEE-28 ?
You could buy a base model and build your own. It will hold the same value as a dealer package, and you can brag about the customizations as your own idea.
Or wait for the real deal.

I can see the use of the name being BS but why can't the dealer do this? Isn't this what Yenko and Motion did back in the 60's and now those car cross the auction block with massive premiums? isn't it similar or am I missing something?

too late.. black suburbans are already en route with Scott leading the posse:fbodgoul2:

i cant track down any dealer photos and i searched the OPs city lol

:sm0:

That's what we're commenting about....

The difference is guys like Yenko made their own name by what they where doing with cars. This dealer is using a name that is trademarked by GM and he really has no right to put it on a car and sell it. I'd be surprised if that dealer doesn't get into trouble for using that name.

Are you sure it wasn't a Z/38

You are missing a few things. Yenko, Balwin, etc. were not slapping GM's emblems on a Camaro and calling it that, they were Yenko versions, Baldwin versions, etc. If this dealer in SC wants to do this, call it a special version by "dealer name", not call it a Z/28. What this dealer is doing is totally wrong, unethical, and unlawful. I for one would hope that the dealer will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the applicable laws.

:thumbsup: Those were custom dealer versions of the Camaro. Not fake production Z/28s the dealer is using to rip people off.

The VIN, build sheet and proof documents will not show it as a GM Z/28 so aside from the emblems, it's just a stage 1 intake and exhaust package probably using the GM Performance parts for that to boot. I'd love to see the window sticker and supplemental package options sticker and how they state Z/28. They shouldn't use the Z/28 emblems or RPO code on anything. If they do, it would be on the deceptive side. Same way I feel clone cars are deceptive. It is buyer beware though.

Scroll down to the 1ss camaro. Used 2011 orange with about 10,000 miles on it. Check out all 24 photos. Also, I didn't buy my 2010 Camaro from this dealer. It just happens to be the closest one to where I live.

Obviously you weren't very thorough.:thumbsup:

NOT BS my friend.

Not dealer appointed but used.

That is a used Camaro that the previous owner put some Z/28 emblems on. What led you to believe this was a dealer installed option?
