I sure hope so. That's what I'm saving up for. 6th Gen 50th anniversary SS will be sweet.

Don't be surprised if it's just a heritage grille and Europe mirrors/taillights.

Will we know whether or not the 2014 Camaro will have an LS7 at the auto show?

It won't be done because GM, as of right now, isn't willing to use the most obvious engine to power it, the LS7. It should have been released instead of the ZL1, which they tried to pass off as a Z/28 while it was being developed and it was rightfully changed to something else.

Ya, if I am in the right situation then, I could keep my 2010 and get a 50th edition.

I miss Kemah and Seabrook. Lived there for a year in the early 90's. The seafood markets by the bridge and boats. Best place to be Sunday morning for a good deal on fresh caught seafood. There is a big expansion rumored for Exxon Baytown. May get back down there some day.

It would be nice to have a remote (button) operated fuel door. I just got my locking fuel cap for $24 that can be keyed to the ignition key. Will be setting the tumblers tonight.
but they put lights in the doors... that dog don't hunt...

i'd like to see a DIY with the gas cap

The only thing I can see happening is an LS7. Everything else is a mystery. They just changed the wheels. The interior was updated only a year or so ago. Maybe an airbag cover that's more unique? Kinetic blue? Maybe another color interior? It's hard to say. They've updated so much overtime already.

I highly doubt we'll see an LT1 though. I'm pretty sure they will want to leave that to the Vette for a while before dumping into the Camaro.

I was planning on going to the NYIAS before. Now I'm definitely going!

I hope they just put an 'F5' key in the interior somewhere

TaDa! Refresh!

If there's going to be a Gen5 Z/28, it'll be introduced end of this month. They'll want 2 years of sales to make money on the model. No doubt it would have the LS7 engine. If the Z/28 doesn't get announced by the beginning of this 2014 MY, we won't see it until the 2016 Gen6.
