It seems the new lightweight Alpha platform for the Gen6 Camaro is on the fast track. It would make a lot of sense to do a Challenger trick and introduce the Z-28 (only) for the first year of the Gen6 model. GM would have the best of both worlds if say they are selling a 2013 LS,LT,SS, and ZR1 and 2014 Z-28 all the same year. The Z-28 would be introduced with the new smaller V8 to compete against the Boss 302. This also gives some muscle car critic time to make corrections before changing the entire Camaro lineup to the Gen6 model.

Twin turbo v6. More efficient and more room for growth

Z/28 should be a Jay Leno Camaro. Twin Turbo v6.... because then you could get all the power you want... and get 30mpg!!! if it has to have a auto.... it better be awesome. but manual should be std.

As long as it's taken to get the ZL1 out, the Gen5 body is going loose it's edge before the Z-28 comes out. The ZL1 will be short term (Gen5 only) because of costs. How many of these are they really to sell at Corvette prices? Look for the Z-28 to replace it as a street fighter on the Gen6s.
Or maybe the new 5.5 liter will show up in the SS as a Z-28 option/upgrade? Now we're talking .............. |

Normally aspirated V8 that targets the Boss 302. Anything from a stripper model to being able to add some options if you want.

there are some lsx Camaros with twin turbos and/or superchargers...... its nets them around 650-700hp at the wheels plus with a tune and some money it 1000hp. but those are big money cars..... if you want 40-45k its going to be a twin turbo v6...... think bout it. you get crank windows and and no power anything..... pull out the back seats yourself.... that way its still cheap to insure.... track susp. and sick steering wheel z/28 only. a/c del could be an opt. but have you ever driving a car without a/c in 110 heat...or no heater in the cold weather... just not fun..... if they did it right besides engine noise diff. You couldnt tell between a high rev v8 and a sweet ttv6 with your eyes closed. just my 2 cents

Z28 should be :
Based on the SS, but with more power, lower ride height and firmer suspension SSX wheels different spoiler option for recaros from the Caddy. basically what the fourth gen SS was to the 4th gen z28. perhaps slp will even make them for GM. I think this is a reasonable and still profitable request. I really think given Fitz's responses during the webchat, the z28 is coming.... as Fbodfather says, just keep the faith. |
