Hi everyone, first post here. Like most others on this thread, I'm hoping for the big dog Camaro. What give me hope is an article I read recently in Motor Trend, june of 2008. They did a 2 page article about the new Camaro. The article states under pricing:
"Look for the low-to-mid $20s for a base , V-6 Camaro. Available trims are also forecast to include a V-8 Z28 and, eventually, a high-output (say, at least 500 horses) SS (Super Sport) edition to combat the Shelby GT500. Given Bob Lutz's proclamation that Camaro pricing will shadow the Mustang's that would put a base Z28 at about $27,000and a base SS at $44-$45k."

We now know that the SS is what this article is refering to as the Z28. It sounds like they have the 2 models ( SS and Z28 ) flipped around. From what I'm reading, the big dog is coming, eventually. In my years of reading car magazines, Motor Trend is usually pretty accurate. They have been off a few times, but not waaaay off. I trust what I'm reading and I can't wait. If it doesn't happen, I'll make my own. 2SS, Kenne Belle, 10 bolt, beefier tranny and away i go.
