But I will say people that have lived with Z28's for years and grew up owning them and knowing the history better should have a greater opinion. Especially if what some people coming in here claiming that the SS is always top dog. When that is just not the case. those are the people I have issues with. especially when they are corrected nicely and they get butt hurt. just saying some people are just a little touchy. |

I agree, I park My z71 next to a zr2 at work, Maybe people think the ss is top dog because allot of the cars built today with the SS and have a ZXX model also, seem to be less then the ss on the new gens. and they lack the knowledge of the z/28's back when they first came out and what they were built for. The ss silverado is a better truck then my z71 all I got was bigger tires/skid plates and better shocks and cool sticker on the side of the bed. I think alot of the new gen cars with the ss badge is a better model. so that is why I belive people think they way they do now. Chevy does us the ZXX RPO alot and they are not much different then the nonzxx models. Maybe that is why they have not built a new z28 yet, Because all the zxx models since the originals have not been better then a model that had a ss badge. And this day and age the ss would Just sell better to the yonger crowd. I will trade my SS in for A Z28 when they come out with it.

Thats what I mean, I do not think any of the cars today that have a zXX badge that also has a ss badge, (execpt maybe the ZL1) do not have that much more added on to it. The Z28 RPO is one of a kind. Last edited by nferno; 04-05-2012 at 02:23 PM. |

My first Camaro was a Z-28... 305 4 barrel, (I got mad at it and sold it after getting beat by a girl in a Fiero GT) so I guess the name isn't my biggest concern, but I find all of this entertaining none-the-less.

...some of old fogies can recall the very FIRST Z-car...the vaunted '63 Z-11...look that one up...
The '63 Vette Z06 was simply a BIG gas tank option...the Z-11 Impala was "something very special"... The original '65 Malibu SS 396 was option code Z16. And, yes, I owned a '68 Z/28 in the spring-to-fall of '69...an early one that said "302" on the front fenders. |

It's all a matter of the type of experience you had with the car. If you had a bad one, that gave you nothing but problems, the moniker could mean something very negative.

I prefer to be optimistic. Negativity breeds like a plague. Don't need it. I'm sorry if you had a bad experience. I think the current Camaros have come a long way. Myself I left American made cars for some time due to poor quality, but I'm back. They are proving themselves regularly.

I'm not a negative person, just never had a lot of good luck with Fbody cars back then. Not saying I don't like them now, heck I have a third 5th Gen on order, that says something positive in itself. Back in the day, I put more effort into fuller sized cars. I was into GTO, 442, Buick GS, Grand Prix, Monte Carlos and so on. So you see everything is all relative to what you have experienced in the past. Nobody is right or wrong, some just need to have thicker skin and understand not everyone has the same thoughts. BTW ... I've never strayed from GM in my over 40 years of driving.
