Anyway, if anyone has accurate info on the Z28, to include HP ratings (rear wheel), please post-up! Thanks. The engine has not been made definate yet, so we don't even know the crank numbers. How could it be possible to provide wheel numbers on a car that does not currently exist?

Those are the facts. Anything beyond that is speculation, though there is a good chance it will cost about $50,000, outhandle any Mustang you can buy from Ford, and have a 550+ hp engine.

So we need to let the General know we want Z28 and Convertibles now, not in 2 years. In 2 years I would be buying my next Z28 or Convertible.
GM get in the race or pull over and let others pass you by, please dont disappoint the dedicated Z and vert fans!

In case you didn't notice, GM's had a bit of a money problem lately. That slows down the development of low volume niche vehicles. On top of that there was the supplier for the convertible mechanism that went bankrupt forcing GM to find a new one.
At any rate, you can call them, write them a letter, show up at their corporate office, anything you want to get the message to them that you want those cars
NOW and it won't do a thing to speed up the process. It is a massive cost to hurry the development of something ahead of its current schedule. Delays and catch-up bursts are costly enough as is, but cutting the remaining timeline by 50%? I wouldn't be surprised if it cost more than they would profit by selling those cars.
