That is not how they price the 2lt from the 2SS. There is an 8 grand difference and the only difference is engine and tranny.

There is more to it than the engine and tranny. Don't forget the springs, shocks, brake pads, calipers, wheels, tires, gearbox, exhaust.....

As for bigger engines probably not. More powerful probably yes. |

Fact is, from GM PP, the crate-engine difference is about $7,000...with faaaar more profit made when they ring up an LS7 than an LS3... Seriously, with deference to Number 3, if Ford can sell out 4000 BOSS ponies at low-mid-$40s, I suspect GM can sell MORE LS7-engined, option-careful, non-MR, ZL1-enhanced driveline'd/wheel'd/tire'd/brake'd thoroughbreds...for about the same dough...and SMILE all the way to the BANK! Mike, your 1000-unit number would be the number of deposits, Day 1, for orders of our "favorite" Camaro... |

You need to look into the Vette offerings and Camaro heritage to get 5th gen Z28 DNA. You also need to look at the SSX. I would guess there will be a 5th gen Z28 by 2013. I would guess it will get the Grand Sport dry sump LS3 and possibly mag suspension. ZL1 brakes and exhuast too. But as stated before we "know" nothing.

We know there will no announcements related to our beloved Z/28 until the ZL1 is being produced and more likely in dealer showrooms. If it is to be, I believe we can bank on that.

I've been a fan of a lighter, LS7 powered Camaro for a looooong time. I think the first time I mentioned it was in the fall of 2008.
BTW, seeing as I hardly give out my first name on this site & use my last name even less ... how the f*&% did you know that it nicknames to 'Gibby'?

I been talking this over with friends and we came to the conclusion that the new Z28 will be the design of the 2009 SEMA Jay Leno twin turbo V6.
It the only logical outcome because it is the only way that GM can outdo the 302 Boss Mustang; since the Mustang is lighter by 300 pounds or some where around that to begin with. Add to this a high power but fuel economic engine that is lightweight but with the ZL1 suspension added; the Z28 will beat out the Current 302. |
