There is a video on here of I think Al O where he says about the ZL1 that if you take it to the track the warranty will not be voided... Now if you tear it up,at the track I can see them maybe denying the claim... Or if you have modified the car from stock it may be... Does the brochure say MAY or WILL be voided?

sure y ou can take it to the track and let it sit in the parking lot and not void the warranty, but if you have damage from the track, your claim will be voided. if you have no issue from the track, then there is no sense in making a claim....
not sure what your deal is, but ive noticed the last few pages that youve made it a point to post on everyones comments....

Have they even published the Z/28 warranty info yet?
I suspect they will have a different owners manual. The current book would grow 20% just saying "does not apply to Z/28" on every page. |

As far as the exterior design goes, I was a bit apprehensive when those first, low-res captures from that TV show showed up online, but I bit my tongue and waited for high-res images from the official reveal to come out before saying anything. I'm glad I did, because when those were released I can absolutely understand all the cheering. In my personal opinion I do wish the tail lights didn't wrap around the fender like they do, but that's a very minor nitpick - they absolutely do look very much like a first generation Camaro, more than the 2010-2014 lights which I always regarded as a hybrid of Corvette and classic Camaro design language (which still looked great). Just from the pictures the car looks mean, and the whole team deserves a ton of credit for that. It's a lot more of a refresh than I was expecting for this stage in the fifth-gen's lifecycle. --- As for the Z/28, to the extent that I'm displeased (which makes how I feel seem a lot more negative than I intend), perhaps I can explain away part of it as being a matter of nomenclature, and also from when I was born and the kind of Camaros I grew up with. I was born around the same time as the first third-gen 1LE's were being produced, so for me the Z28 was 'just' the model you got if you wanted a V8, far from its track-specific heritage of a couple decades earlier, so when the fifth-gen came out with first-gen heritage I had some relearning to do I simply had thought of a renewed Z/28 as being more like Ford's Boss 302 in package, performance and pricing. Again, I wasn't around to confirm this from first-hand experience, but I don't think it would be wrong to say that having done so would have detracted from the history of the original RPO Z28 Camaro. Having a barely street legal, track-oriented race car is still a great idea, and I'm thrilled that it happened. I guess I would have preferred that such a car wore the name COPO as a regular (if limited) production model instead, which in my opinion not only would have been in keeping with that other storied name in the history of the Camaro. Plus it would have meant I'd get to see both more-attainable Z/28s and even a few COPOs lurking the streets - a man can dream, can't he? . Team Camaro felt differently and it is the way it is. I respect your reasoning for doing so, and I meant no offense to you or your coworkers with any posts wishing it'd been just a little bit different. The lineup is still phenomenal, and getting better all the time. When the worst thing I can say about it is that the great light blue I love on my 2010 isn't available should (God forbid) something happen and I need a new one, you know I'm pretty pleased. Even though the Boss is no longer being sold, I'd still like to see the 1LE surpass it in the couple areas where it doesn't already meet or surpass its lighter and more powerful competitor. Maybe incorporate some of the Z/28's weight reduction into it? Just an idea. |

Three things I'd have to comment on:
1. Unfortunately those who are really passionate about something are going to be the ones who are the most vocal about it, whether they hate it or love it (mostly though its when they hate it) 2. People are always "against" change of any sort so you will face that no matter the industry you are in. 3. People will always "say" they could do a better job, then when push comes to shove they wouldn't know where to begin! I'm am not 100% goo-goo about the re-design for 2014 but improvements must be made and I am giddy with excitement about a true Z/28!! You and the rest of the Camaro faithful need to continue your job FBODfather, the fact that the Camaro has had so much success is true measurement of your good work!
