Think about it... with the Boss 302 coming out what is GM's proper reply? Z/28!
Yet this HP Edition is more of a Shelby GT500 competitor, right? Your thoughts... |

1: Saving the hallowed Z/28 intro for the new platform (smaller, more nimble, new gen v8) I do recall some VP talking about the Z/28 intro coming with the new platform. So, by default that means 2014 or so. 2: STOP The current bleeding being given to the aftermarket boys by coming out with their of HP edition.... (thus using up alot of old parts on current V8 platform) and keep that share of the performance pie to themselves. So, do you buy a GM HP version that has no Z/28 nameplate? hmmmmm. YESSSS!

Having read some very intriguing posts in this thread, my impression and gut feeling is that Chevy MAY not be bringing back the Z-28 name after all for the Camaro 5. We have read and participated in much hype, speculation, gossip, and rumor for some time now. If in reality this comes to pass then I actually feel relieved! I am elated! Let it be the HP Edition then!!! Long live Chevy....long live the King! Retire the much vaunted and glorious Z-28 name.....it has a special place in Americana muscle car history and lure. It's a part of me, my fabric, and who I am. I was truely feeling squeezed about being able to get a new Z-28, I was getting a bit anxious because of the competition there was going to be in obtaining one of the limited few that would be available. If this was the S/C Z-28 558 HP or better reincarnation we were all expecting that was announced today I would have to absolutely, positively, no question about it have to get one. I can now sit back a bit, relax, and enjoy all this wonderfull news..at least for now while I dream about it...and look forward to all the wonder and excitement this new HP option will give us. And when and if Chevy does decide to bring back the exiled King Z-28, you know he's gonna kick a_ _ and take names!

Exactly. I wasn't expecting this so now more to decide/think about.

Keep the profanity to yourself or don't post in this Community.
Allan - I'm sorry about deleting, but I couldn't stand the tone. It's one thing to express an opinion, but that just made me ill. Respectfully...

The MS has an overall effect of gluing the car down even on twisters, but where it shines over your normal third party suspension upgrade, is it's launch mode that is tightly governed by the computer. If anyone gets the car with this option, then you don't want to go and mess with the shock or spring or lower the car. You will ruin the whole calibration that was designed to work with the software. I bet this will be an option rather than STD, since it adds a good amount of coins to the car.

But I hope they do ONE more thing when they launch HP. Let the community know that when Gen6 arrives it will not revive the Z/28 name. If not on the HP model, lets retire the name for posterity forever. Can't we agree on that? I'm on the buying list for the HP for sure. I just don't want to feel two years later that the HP verison was just "not the real one" |

Don't Like it? Suggit.

I still feel like releasing a 45th Anni edition- after breaking off production 8 years would just invite scorn from the Stang crowd.... And the rest of the logical Earth.
