Idk if this has been posted yet, i posted it in another thread tho. In the new hot rodding mag it says "Bye bye Z28: With GM Performance Division disbanded and all its employees reassigned to other divisions, the Z/28 super Camaro program has been cancelled. According to the Chevy executives we spoke to, the Z/28's engineering, validation, and component sourcing was already completed when the plug was puled. Don't blame Chevy though. The timing couldn't have been worse, with the bailout hearings in Washington, D.C., and public scorn for executives flying around in Lear jets, the Z/28 was a "shameful" car that GM couldn't be seen building in the current environment. The Z/28 would've had had the supercharged, intercooled 556hp from the Cadillac CTS-V, along with a beefed up drivetrain, functional ram-air hood, SS stripes and huge cohones."
