Do you think it will be called "z/28" - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Do you think the "z/28" will actually be called the z/28 for production, or is that just the rumored name like the alternate names the ZR1 had during its mule days (SS and Blue Devil)?

*DGthe3* · 04-09-2010, 03:08 AM

Only alternative name would be the ZL1, but that is too obscure for most casual observers.

They'll probably call it a Z/28, but it will have the most power and be the heaviest...that's not really a "proper" tribute. I'm not a heritage fanatic, but they should call it something different.

Yes, I think it will be called Z/28...the only real question is will it be "Z/28" or "Z28" because it's been both over the years.

I'm really hoping for the original "Z/28"

2010 SSRS · 04-09-2010, 12:38 PM

I hope they call it a Z-28

ron10 · 04-09-2010, 12:48 PM

why would they want to change it.Z28 has always stood for performance.people relate to the name.like mustang GT,or dodge hemi.

Sax1031 · 04-09-2010, 01:29 PM

Yes

*DGthe3* · 04-09-2010, 02:19 PM

Perhaps we need another poll:

Z28
Z/28
Z-28
z28
z/28
z-28
...

plus the zl1 was on a truck, so it's gotta be z/28

R1Ecko · 04-09-2010, 02:35 PM

I prefer Z/28 Capital Z and the slash. Why would you want the hyphen?

Not that I've ever heard about. Z71 is a truck off road package, ZL1's (well, technically ZL-1) were monsters from 1969. From the outside, they looked like regular base 6 cylinder Camaros. They started off as COPO's and were given a specially tuned aluminum 427 engine in the lightest possible body. Reports say it made over 500 hp. With minor tweaks they were capable of running the 1/4 in under 12s. They are part of Camaro legend.

Thank you DGthe3, honestly I could not figure where he thought a ZL-1 was in a truck. I far as I knew they were only in 2 Corvettes and some COPO Camaros. I had a 93 Chevy Z71 truck and still could not figure out that is what he was referring to.

Please tell me you are kidding.
