Is this what I want in a Camaro or what I want in a Z28? My vision of a Z28 isn't on the list. LS7 striped with better suspension.

the poll is way too vague
stripped means?
loaded means?

what are the expected prices for each?

the way it's listed who wouldn't want the loaded LS9? now put up a $75,000. and see how far most run!

This poll is VERY interesting.

I suspect that most of those who chose the Loaded, LS9-equipped, upgraded-suspension car...are less than willing to pay for such a vehicle.

As for the other two peaks in the chart...I think these folks will be pleased.

IT all depends on the price. I can swing mid 50's but much over that and I'll be removing options.

The only reason I didn't put the LS7 version is because of the likelihood of it being discontinued.

I love my Camaro as is. For a Z28, I'm not sure. More horse to compete with the shelbys. With more horse, slightly better suspension, frame and brakes. As an old guy, I think I already have more car than I need. I can take most of what's out there or keep fairly close. For all that extra horse, you need ready access to a track or the autobahn. Also, with an LSA or LS9, or even an LS7, you have to worry about the price. If it goes up to 50K plus, I would think about a lightly used Z06, even in my wife doesn't like the looks as much.And trust me, I haven't seen a rendering of a proposed Z28 that holds a candle to my SS, in my opinion.

wtf you talking about willis? Don't be playing with my emotions, I'll show up at your house jk

I agree with the other two peaks the loaded ls3 suspension and the lsa loaded suspension, but I supposed it would be better to save the ls9 for the big daddies. ZL-1 and DICK HARRELLS

If you're ever in a hurry and are trying to not break the law at the same time, you'd be suprised at how many of the other drivers think they're racing you lol

happened with a VW and me the other day. I just accelled to the speed lmt quickly and he made it a point to stay in front of me and continued to do damn near 20 over the limit to the next city about 15miles away.

i opted with the LSA /susp to get about 550hp and hopefully keep the cost way under 50, the price of a shelby gt 500
