Wouldn't a 427 powered camaro kind of go against what the Z28 was all about back in the day? That seems to be the consensus I see here is that people want a new Z28 to be what is was back in the day, and or a direct competitor to the boss.
Kind of? For starters, the Camaro is way overweight as it is. When I look at it, my eyes see 'Camaro'. When I drive it, my brains say 'Chevelle'. It doesn't need a 427. It needs a diet

The Z/28 should be lighter than an SS. Less sound-deadening, etc. It should be Chevy's response to the Mustang Laguna Seca package. Z/28 buyers should be sacrificing a few creature comforts for more performance.
