2012 Camaro Z28 HP Edition Production Begins Jan. 1, 2012! (Confirmed to dealers!) - Page 10 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hopefully it's not named something annoyingly long, like High Performance Edition or anything absurd. Z-28 is much simpler and allows people people to relate their future car to a name they revered as kids. The American muscle car enthusiast likes simple things a majority of the time; high displacement, high horsepower, torque on demand, and a car they can mod if they choose. It sounds like a long list but it really isn't if you're talking about a 50K+ pricepoint. That's why the vette is so well respected...even on the import scene. JMVHO

I think Scott might be toying with us

But if they do name it differently, I trust they will choose the name wisely.

I was wondering the same, but if you look at the tires on the Z28 Prototype they look massive. Check out the second pic down.

If it's not called the z/28, I am expecting the Z/28 to come out as a different car....

SummoneR · 01-13-2011, 03:44 PM

I guess the hope of a Z/28 is still on hold. Wonder what the HP Edition will be called, Z71? HA HAA

LAWMAN · 01-13-2011, 03:54 PM

285F / 330R tires

Same as the ZR1

BIG horsepower #'s is my guess

metthem · 01-13-2011, 04:15 PM

could the 330 tire fit if they changed the offset of the rear wheel? Also does anyone know if they make a 330 snow tire?

For the price of a 330 snow tire, if they even exist, you could buy a winter beater. I'd guess those things would be crazy expensive.

HP Edition? Weird. Hope that's a codename.
