New Bumblebee supposedly Z-28 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

R1Ecko · 01-08-2009, 03:08 PM

There are a few pics floating around of the new bumblebee from Transformers 2 and the front end is supposed to be the look of the new Z-28, or at least an idea of what it may look like. Also, i keep noticing that bumblebee has the gas door in the old location, like the concept. Has anyone seen pictues of where the gas door actually is. I like it on top of the back left wheel flare myself.

Side of the car on the passenger side more than a million times confirmed

That is definitely where the gas door is going to be.

That car...and many more exact replicas...were made just for the movie. Anything you see in that car do not assume or expect it to be in the new Camaro or in future versions.

Let's not get the rumor mill turning. This Camaro is based upon the GTO. It is not a reflection of any future Camaro model as far as we know, but I wouldn't be surprised if fbodfather and his posse have been plotting to release a Z28 concept after Transformers 2.

i do not like the way the new bumblebee looks at all from the front..

Moose · 01-08-2009, 04:09 PM

I like the "big block" style hood.

I'd venture to guess that some aftermarket company will manufacture it.

As for it being a "hint" at a possible Z28....I think this is how rumors get started.

I doubt we'll see a Z28, if at all, until GM can get "back on it's feet."

Me either. A little redneck for me. Scoop is too big.

It may be that design, but it won't be that color.

You're referring to the hood...right.

Never2LowChevy · 01-08-2009, 11:06 PM

I wouldnt hold your breath about anything GM sais they are or arent going to do. A few years backwhen 20" wheels started coming stock on alot of truck and Dodge put 22" wheels on the ram, GM made an official anouncment that they would NEVER put anything larger then a 20" wheel on any of their vehicles because it wasnt safe because the stopping power of brakes werent able to stop them effeciently. Now look, they are putting 22s on Tahoes, Escalades, and trucks. So just because they say they arent going to make a Z/28 in the next few years, if the demand is there they will change thier minds. Unless they are really high up the food chain I wouldnt take anything they say to heart cause they are all salesmen and only know what the sales brochure teaches them.

I'd rock that hood - and the lower splitter.
