I'm with you on that my friend! And if it has any of the sound of the Lingenfelter L28 Camaro (doubt it will sound quite that good), it will sound awesome while running awesome.

[QUOTE=OldScoolCamaro;6345562]Correct, no magnetic ride, but there is a new 4 way valving within the newly designed dampers for the Z/28. Not manually adjustable.

Based on this statement - Compared to a conventional damper that offers only two-way tuning for bump and rebound, a spool-valve damper allows four-way adjustment to precisely tune both bump and rebound settings for high-speed and low-speed wheel motions.

I assumed that you could tune to the track conditions or are they saying they tuned it? Typically, one may tune the suspension to a particular track.

Will it carry the same "on track" warranty coverage as the Z-L1? Anyone know?

I have to come here for support... My whole family thinks I'm nuts.

I've been jumping up and down with excitement about the Z28!!! I've been hoping (dreaming really) that Chevy would make a Camaro with the LS7 in it, and now it's here and I can barely contain my excitement!

Can I afford it? At $60k, probably not, but the fact that they built it is AWESOME! It means I may find one used some day, and that's gonna be awesome!

Who else is crazy excited?!?

It's great to see, but then we will come down to reality soon enough...They always tout the latest and greatest thing...but guess what, not that many of us can actually afford it...lol...

I'm glad to see the Z/28 return, and can't wait to see Ford and Chrysler's response to this. I do have to say though that the back end reminds me of a 67 Impala, and not in a good way...

The pictures show a radio. So is the radio operational, just 1 speaker?

Look at the readout, it shows a channel on it.
If they were going old school maybe it should have been an AM with no CD player LOL...

I'm not diggin' those stick on fender wheel well flares. Hopefully they will stamp them into the fenders and quarter panels.
Other than that looks pretty good.

Yes, It seems to still have a radio and CD player, just only one speaker. Would have been way cooler with a radio delete panel in the center of the dash.

I still wanna know the story on the color... Looks like pearl white but that color isn't listed in the 2014 changes/additions. That's definitely not Summit White... will they be adding this color, or is it just a flashy one-off white to look good under the lights for the unveiling?

The alarms and chimes work through the radio, that is why it was retained.

Yeah I understand that, it just doesn't make it as cool. The AC delete option is awesome, i wish you could do that with every model.

First, Glad to see the Z28 back.

I just wish it came back in a better looking style.

Front: Looks a little better with Z28 headlights. They just took all the Meanness out of it.

The ReadEnd: I still hate it. Its TooBland, too flat.

Well I guess those that said the current version was TOO Flashly will like it. The Z28 return may be enough to hold the Sale lead. Maybe, just Maybe.

NOTE to SELF: DON'T WRECK YOUR 2011 CAMARO RS/SS
