I think the Z28 is a MUST! This is the Camaro! To me, a Camaro model sans Z28 is unthinkable.
I'm waiting for my warranty-supercharged Z28, and I'm ready to spent up to $45k for it. This has been my dream car for 10 years, and even the thought of buying a rustang or a dodge instead is nauseating. PLEASE GM make this Z28 happen! |

to Z or not to Z

I really wanted a new Z/28 to replace the 2002 that I had... If it costs $45 k I will not get one. Even if I am not able to get the Z/28, I believe GM has to make it available, as many have said: Z/28 IS CAMARO!
There needs to be one, whether it is a $40k supercharged version.... or hopefully a $30k easily modified for more performance... version. There is a history of LT Camaros, but; There is a PROUD history of Z/28 Camaros.

Well,
Here's some good news? Again, I'll wait to hear it officially. Quote:

What that means for the GenV is not clear at this point. Even though the engines are not identical, the volume of trucks GM builds means there are a lot of economies of scale between the truck motors and the engines like the LS3. And they are moving away from those as well along with Ford and Toyota, who just got their full size trucks out and are now shifting capacity to care. So between those two it is not yet clear what the implications are. "GM is revising its capital spending plan and reducing approximately $1.5 billion in expenditures versus prior plans. Capital expenditures are now estimated to total $7 billion in 2009 versus prior plans of $8.5 billion (these figures do not include the $1 billion in capital spending planned in both 2008 and 2009 in China, which is self-funded by the GM joint ventures, to support growth in that market). A major part of the reductions is related to the delay of the next generation large pickup and SUV program, as well as V-8 engine development and associated capacity." |

Hehe.
That was my passive-aggressive attack towards all the same threads about the Z/28 popping up everywhere. |

At first in 1967 the Z-28 was just an option package designation that few knew about (mainly the Trans-Am racers). not until 68 did the Z-28 badging appear on the cars, and all us old timers will agree the 69 Z-28 was the best of the breed for what the Z-28 was designed for. After that it grew tooo large, and lost horsepower till it was all show and no go. Then when the HP wars returned it came back stronger than ever, BUT Chevy brought out their "drag" car with more HP than the Z-28, and Yes it was the SS, THAT is why I feel the SS should always remain the Highest powered Camaro, while the Z-28 should be the best all around performer the "Track Star".

The competition for the Z-28 Camaro was not the GT500 from the past, it was the Boss 302 Mustang.
