So the NAME Z28 is out the window according to the interview, but that doesn't mean a monster Camaro is coming out later.

So maybe a supercharged Camaro? 550hp?

I don't care about the name just give me ultimate Camaro.
Agree. Cause the SS won't satisfy me at all

Sorry but Z/28 is to Camaro what Enzo is to Ferrari. Personally I think Chevrolet is making a mistake. When someone says Z/28, there is no question what one is talking about.

With that being said, I'm still planning on an SS

I have a feeling it will be a long time before we hear any good news or any news at all as to whether they'll even do a monster Camaro.

...at the very least offer it as an "order only" option.

Camaro just lost a bit of its soul to me with this news. :-(

Don't give me excuses about gas guzzler taxes, CAFE regulations and the like. They can make a world-beating ZR1 but not a Z/28??? I'm not smart enough to understand I guess.

Still a great car and I'm happy its back. Just had my hopes on seeing the Z...
+1 I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS BULLSHIT WHY WOULD THEY HAVE THE TEST DRIVERS DRIVE A SUPERCHARGED VERSION AND THEN NOT MAKE IT. WHO IS GOING TO BUY THE ZR1 ON THIS FORUM. NOT MANY BUT IM SURE MOST OF US CAN AFFORD A TOP DOG 550+ MONSTER OF A CAMARO. THIS WAS A WAIST OF A DAY . IM DONE

Yup ... but the difference between "later" and "too late" is quite thin ... and the GT500 looks good ...

BAD ASS, I'd race you in my GT but you'll smoke it no matter what badge it has...


No one refers to a Camaro as an Ss or Z28. If you go up and talk to a random person, try telling them you drive a Z71, Z24. you'll get the deer in headlights look. People refer to a camaro as a camaro ss or camaro z28. I've NEVER heard of anyone just say I have a z28...
