Just take this thread for what it is: just a way to make Fbofather see the "word" "Z28" every time he comes on the forum ...

We (who am I to speak for the others????) just want to make potential GM people coming here know that there are potential buyers for a Z28, that there is a market for supercharged camaros, that we're quite a few to want something stronger than the SS.

I can't imagine to let it be and to make them think that we're all happy with the SS.

Oh, I'm not dreaming, I know it won't change a decision already taken, but I guess it's worth the try ... don't you?

For your viewing pleasure. If the Mods don't approve I understand. Not meant to pick a fight in any way.

I'm going to make this a new addition to my sig' if the Mods' are okay with it, LOL.

GM knows we want a Z28... they know it VERY well... the demand is outrageous... but this is neither the time nor the place to be hawking Magnuson superchargers just because someone misquoted a GM exec.

sorry for the rant, but this whole thread has gone completely awry and is just pointless now.

... but entertaining. After reading more comments from the poster you're referring to, I don't think it was posted with the intent some of us (i.e. me, specifically) may have taken it as. I believe he was trying to try to inform us of what was available out there through his experience, and I can appreciate that.

To address your last comment though, I agree that IMHO, it would be nice to stay focused on one topic in this thread. Regardless, we'll just have to keep up with all the new posts

Be wishful if you want.

Gather facts in one hand and wish in the other. See which one produces a 600hp CamAro.

K, heres what i think. 1: Its Ed Welburn, the dude who wanted to see it again heck, he even owns one and I think even knows the true meaning of such a car. 2: No crap is he going to keep his mouth shut and IMO it seems like he would hide any info on any future camaro products. 3: Done.

The original Z/28 Camaro was a stripped-down lightweight model with less creature comfort equipment than the Camaro SS. And its 302 was the smallest V8 engine in any Camaro model back then. Maybe with gas prices and the economy both headed in the wrong direction, GM will return the Z/28 to its roots and make it lighter and with limited optional equipment and put their 260hp turbo 4-cylinder in it. Wouldn't that be something!

Just noting that the discussion regarding the Z28 has the most replies of any other topic or discussion right now.

Don't make me vomit! Go buy a Cobalt SS if you want something like that.

all I'm going to say is prepare to get flamed for that statement. everyone here that is a true enthusiast has already stated what the original Z was.

now to put a turbo 4 in it for those enthusiasts would be like dropping an import engine in a classic muscle car. it shouldn't be done for whatever reason. . .I'm sorry I respectfully disagree with how you view a Z28 should be brought back. and hope people aren't to hard on you for that statement. everyone is entitled to their opinion.
