i read the first 2 pages and had to post, it seems to me that people are feeling negative towards this, i do understand that the z28 means alot to many, but are making it feel like the SS will do nothing, the extra you would have paid for whatever came on a hypothetical z28, why not really upgrade the SS, make it a z28, i will be doing that and it will not loose anything becase of a badge, it will bring me that much closer to loving my car that much more.

It's just that for many of us, the Z/28 was originally "THE" racing version of the Camaro. That means something to a lot of people. We are all glad that the SS came out and it is a wonderful car. |

See? My point exactly. GM is going to plan this right, just like it took 3 years to see our beloved at 99% of over all concept's vision. Or did you like the way Ford carved the concept mustang like last year's Thanksgiving turkey? --But on that note, you can't polish a turd. Patience. Uhg I'm gonna be 30 by the time the RSs and SSs hit show rooms, half of you are 20 other others in there 40 and 50 have waited since 69 to get a car of similar caliber. You are gonna tell me that it will be too much to wait another 18 months??

You know I didn't like the new BB before, but it looks really good to me in those pics. If I had things my way, my Z would look like the new BB, some reasonable engine mods (CAI, exhaust), some suspension and chassis tweaks, tons of weight reductions, top of the line tires, Recaro (or comparable) seats with grippy upholstery, and maybe even the General's first DCT.

If you go back to what a Z28 was back in the day before it was truely watered down, a road race prepped camaro that had a 302 ci motor and a beefed up suspension, then still maybe. Now there's a better chance of the supercharged camaro then what I believe would be a better choice for a Z28. The reason I say this the majority of people that want the Z28 are screaming for a supercharged camaro. so it would make it more profitable for GM to make that then what I want. just try not to be so negative torwards the possibility of a Z28. no one has confirmed or denied it there is one being built. so it's all about perspective. |

SS will always be "Top Dog"
am i missing something here?
from when the SS came out in what 68 up to 72 the SS camaro was always the high performer of the camaro line, at least HP wise. (no, DZs dont count) and when it came back years later in the 90s was the same thing. so if we go by history here, if and when there is a camaro z-28 it wouldnt, or shouldnt out perform the SS. you think there going to put a supercharger on a V8 pushing out 420 horses already, and have it surpass the SS? that just wouldnt add up in my opinion, unless they go with this current line and supercharge the V6 or something. no? |

DZ302 was Z28 motor. They're all good. Actually, ZL1 was the big dog
