Lowdown, I agree with your approach to building the Z/28 on existing components. Maybe they code this project "Frankenstein". It sure in hell should make Mustang owners scared !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would also love to see an LS7 make it's way into a 5th gen. Looking forward it seems like engines are going with smaller displacement for efficiency / weight purposes and thats all well and good. But before we get there lets go crazy and throw an LS7 in a Camaro... put on some old school 427 badges... and sure call it a Z/28.
We're in another golden age of performance cars so lets enjoy it. |

Unscientific, but "data" nonetheless, here's the results of TWO surveys from this Site:
1) This one from the Z/28 Section- http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155381 2) This one from the ZL1 Section!- http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181043 I found it "interesting" that the ZL1 Section poll had a MINORITY of folks voting for the ZL1... Can you spell p-e-n-t-u-p d-e-m-a-n-d? There are NO Camaro Coupes with "serious sporting intent" that carry a Base MSRP in the $40s...while there are THREE Mustangs...selling, combined, in excess of 10,000 units, a number the ZL1 will not come close to. Conclusion? $40-up, the Mustang will be the sales champ in 4-seat Performance Coupes. Or...is "something" afoot? There is certainly an opportunity for Camaro to have TWO worthy candidates...quickly...no pun intended... Last edited by LOWDOWN; 11-29-2011 at 10:34 AM. |

The Z28 will probably fit nicely between the SS and ZL1 in terms of power, outperforming the Boss302, but also have a lighter chassis with improved rigidity and handling. |
