True chance...but in my mind CAFE and the new technology (DI, new manufacturing processes and materials) will make it less affordable...as if 54,995 before GG tax, options, tax and tags is affordable now. It's all relative. I'm lucky to be in a position at this point in my life to see it, and be able to have it. For that I am truely Blessed.

I think it may have happened something like this:
Some time ago, the ZL1 was actually gonna be called the Z28, (as evidenced by some ZL1 parts being stamped with the Z28 name). Then, something (unknown to us) happened in the upper echelon of GM, and it was decided to be called the ZL1 instead. In the meantime, the Z28 name was then secured, but pushed back to re-appear later, and my guess it will be in a 6th gen. Your thoughts?

Not to mention, at the end of the run, the name was sold to Dodge to put on the IROC Daytonas. |

My guess is the Z will make a return. Nothing in the Camaro line up is aimed at the Boss. I like a bump in HP and a serious suspension that like the Boss can go right to the track. Yes I recognize some think the 1LE is there and I like it. Z/28 needs to be a halo so engine performance has to increase. If they make one I will choose it over a ZL1 or maybe sell my 550 horse 2010 and buy both! The gen6 Camaro I expect to be more Caddy ATS size with smaller displacement engines. I'll take an overweight gen5 with lots of motor and big brakes over the gen6....

"IROC" was a licensed name; rights were "leased" from Jay Signore, then-President of International Race Of Champions (IROC), first to Chev and then to Dodge. IROC (the Series) also raced Porsches (initially) and Firebirds (finally). Now defunct.

Z28= 427 engine option, just saying that would be sweet!

Yes, that would be. Perhaps that's mainstream logic. What if it were a HP DI next gen motor?

I was thinking about this yet again on the road back home today.
It would seem that a 427 Z/28 would be likely at this point, given the "leaked" info on the 2014 models. The engine plus a suspension upgrade makes sense. But what occurred to me is this: COPO = Pro Drag ZL1 = Street/Amateur/Enthusiast Drag Z/28 = Pro Track Racing SS 1LE = Street/Amateur/Enthusiast Track Racing This makes sense to me and would match speculated price points. Having a naturally aspirated LS7 also makes sense to me for track racing. But the 1LE may also be a test bed for the Z/28 suspension and may disappear for 6th gen. |
