Please don't consider this to be political....but the Obama/Pelosi/California consortum is going to prevent any Z28 type of vehicle from being built in the future simply by the new regulations that are coming out. It will not be cost effective for GM to build a bigger and better hot rod in the future.
Grab your SS Camaros up right now while they are still available. The gas guzzler tax will apply to them in the near future, and they will eventually be a rare commodity. The handwriting is on the wall on the issue of non green cars like this. GM will not have the freedom to determine what their product lines will be when the government takes the control of the companies as is projected. How many of these cars will they be able to sell if they all have a $20,000 gas guzzler tax on them? Actually there is no need for the feds to do anything to ban them. They simply have to make the gas guzzler tax high enough to prevent the buyers from spending the cash to buy them. The model lines will die out on their own with nobody buying them. There is nothing on the books that would stop that from happening.
