I gotta give you guys this.
You're hardcore about a Z/28.
Hopefully they make you one, and you can stop dreaming.
I'd never wandered int the Z/28 area before, and was just asking what all the fuss was about whan the car doesn't exist.
I'll leave you to yourselves.
I really do hope they make you one.

Answer? Only 8% of the structure is STEEL, and that is largely HSS in the windshield frame and its support system.

Weight can disappear, but it won't leave with an inexpensive result.
And I think we will see some of that same kind of engineering on the 6th gen. Camaro based on what we've seen so far with the Cadillac ATS.

Keep in mind the current Zeta architecture was developed (starting in '99) for introduction in 2006 and was a flexible platform able to be built in varying wheelbases and overall lengths. The Gen-5 Camaro version was about the smallest version built. So its emphasis, and therefore structure, was intended for generally larger versions than the Camaro...up to 118" WB (6" more than Camaro).

Going to the new-Gen smaller Alpha platform will, all by itself, save some weight BEFORE implementing "new age" weight-conscious measures I'm sure we'll see more of with CAFE '16 ever-present. As suggested by the Caddie ATS data, V6 Camaro models around 3,400 lbs. sound likely...and very encouraging.

nice looking rides you have there - I loved the 69 Z/28 but was in Vietnam those years so was not able to get one - Having the 2012 is showing me what I missed way back then - Was a street terror in 1963 with a "409" I had bought new in Springfield, Illinois

There's no doubt we will have a 5th gen Z/28, when is the big question. :thumbsup:

A road show that I did lights and sound for used Dream Weaver for it's theme, between rehersals and all of the shows where I heard it, if I never hear it again it will be too soon!
