Yes GM should have built it sooner to compete with the BOSS....BUT when the BOSS came out in 2012 it really had no competition either so that argument is invalid IMO. The push I see is that they will need something to draw people into the Camaro with the 15 Mustang on the horizon. The new mustang is going to be a big deal, ditching retro, IRS its gonna be big. Also that means dealers will be heavily discounting the 14 models they have on lot increasing sales while people are also rushing to be the first with a 15. GM will need something exciting to draw people back to Camaro, which is the case I see for a Z/28. Only problem I see witha Z/28 is in my opinion it will be way to close to the ZL1 in terms of performance and less price |

OSC, at least two points mitigate "something more"...
1) The BOSS may be "dead", post-'13, but I doubt its engine is. The next-Gen Stang is due April 17/14, as a MY '15...which leaves MY '14. I don't believe FoMoCo went to the bother of building a very stout n/a 5.0 just for the MY '12-'13 BOSS. There'll be a current-gen Grand Finale...or is that a GRANDE?...that will house that gem of an engine/drivetrain... 2) Gen-6 Camaro will arrive in the second half of '15 as a MY '16 offering...which leaves TWO FULL MODEL YEARS of Gen-5s to peddle. What better way to get folks into Chevy showrooms to look at Camaros than by offering the RETURN OF THE HUGGER? Done right, with the ZL1 having saturated its market somewhat by this summer/fall, the ZEE can generate sufficient excitement (and number$) to march the Gen-5 through to its summer-'15 conclusion... |

I agree totally, they won't rest on their laurels because they gen5 Camaro has already made its money back..as I have said many times, they still need to seek Camaros for 2 more years before the gen6 comes out and people will be holding onto their wallets prior to the release just to see if it is worth buying now or upgrading later. Putting a Z/28 in the lineup with specific exterior upgrades/enhances and even though i still don't agree with the LS7 in my Z/28, if thats what they choose it will sell cars. Period.

Yep, agreed! I started saving my pennies after I watched the reveal online...went home showed my wife after work and said "babe, if they make that car, I'm buying one...showed up at the dealer October 13th, 2008 specified my color and options and put down my deposit and have "settled" driving my 2SS until the Z/28 rears its beautiful hips to the world!

I know people who have seen it and they tell me it's coming. Living here in Detroit all my life has some advantages.
