I did get the message there wasn't a 600+hp camaro. so no faith. . .

With all do respect, and not just talking to you.

What is the Difference between an ass and a butt?

People keep finding loop holes to the Z28 not being dead.

It's not dead, it just not going to be supercharged.

It's not dead, it just put on hold. In all reality it is dead.

And yet people continue to keep faith! This is the exact reason they

need to build the Z28, where else can you find this passion GM!

Let the high performance vehicles have their time in the sun and drop the dead weight of the SUV. Move to some form of crossover for those who want SUV style but with better fuel economy.

First they need a car with a 35MPG rating...... I even think the Aveo is only rated at 34MPG, then they need several cars with it, and then they need to sell a kabootle of them...Just to be able to keep a camaro alive...

I am just saying that if it is dead, people are so passionate about it that they refuse to believe it. That even if all signs including fbodfather, point to a less than likely return of the Z28 for what ever reasons, that we gravitate toward any thing that may leave the door open for a return of it. Example; It not dead it just wont be supercharged, or it going to be hard not impossible!

Yes I was one that said it was dead. Not to piss anyone off. I was just saying what the evidence supported, what I have heard from reps and such. Just look above my aviator and other post, I want a Z28 just a as bad as anyone. I am as human as the next guy; Mind says it is dead, heart says other wise.

No one is right or wrong, ther are no facts to back any of us speaking our mind.

Fbodfather said it's hard to see it coming with how they planned. That means it's still a very good possibility just not how they planed.


I swear you nay sayers are pissing me off. how many times have I had to put up with the camaro isn't even coming back from my friends and look what's happening now?!?!?!? I sometimes want to reach through the computer and smack some of you because that's exactly what you are trying to do. you are trying to piss people off. and well you're doing one fine good job at it.


I respect that you don't want a z28 and couldn't care less. and to me some of you don't even know or much less care what it stands for to some of us. but (I'm doing everything in my power not to swear up and down here) there has been no official word as to the Z28 NOT coming back. Right now it's a program that's under review. I have been reassured that the people at GM do not want to see the Z28 gone. That means they are going to do whatever it takes to get us a damn Z28. And one that will sell and compete with the competition. so quit telling me how things are. or I'm going to tell you where to stick it.

I do want it, and I want it bad. I think you are missing my point. I was speaking of the passion, how people see through the negative, for the good.
But, i think your a little blinded by anger.

An any regards I can SEE YOUR PASSION!!

Quite possibly. I've been putting up with so much BS lately and to come on here to a site I enjoy and frequent and have so many people say it's dead and have to defend the official line. over and over and over and over and then told that I'm a girly man (another thread) because I actually care about the Z28. you think I'm a little upset? quite possibly.


any ways. . .back on topic.
