The 1st Z/28s were made for the track and in the 70's the Z28 was there for the daily driver. I can see the Z28 as a big money maker with the 6th Gen. We'll just have to wait and see what's in the cards but I can bet you we'll see more of the Z28 in the future. |

I may be wrong but I thought the number was going to be limited based on the number of left over LS7 engines after the Z06 production ended and the plant that was building them closed. I don't know if they have completely stopped making them yet but they will have to keep enough set back for warranty issues and GM performance parts to sell.

I know they continued building them after the Z06 went out of production, maybe those were upgraded. Does anyone know when the plant was closing?

that isn't a true statement because we have not announced anything in terms of volume. It will be limited.

I really hope 3000 units. Then we should all be able to see them and hopefully I can still get my hands on one. |

I had a feeling it would be that high, no way I would buy one.
The 1Le is what the z28 was. A within reach sports car with the base corvette engine. Actually it's more car than any previous gen z28 and I have had a couple. |

I - and the team - DO get your point. What I think we're trying to do is to bring the Z/28 back to it's original purpose - and that is to find mustangs on a road course and eat them. No - I'm not saying that this car is set for SCCA rules - what I AM saying is that this car is an amazing driving machine - and on a road course it will blow cars costing many times more to kingdom-come. NOW - that said -- and I've mentioned this before: no matter WHAT we do with the Z28 or Z/28 moniker - we alienate some people. For too many years we've alienated the original Z/28 enthusiasts by using the nameplate on a much more mainstream Camaro. To some that's a good thing.......and for a lot of years, they were happy. The reality is that it's time to honor the nameplate by taking it back to its roots. Yes-- it's expensive - but I invite you to drive a new 1LE or an SS or a ZL1 - and you'll see that we've built a Camaro for 'every purse and purpose" (to use a quote from one of our founders - Alfred Sloan....... I DO hear what you're saying - but when the final numbers from Nurburgring are published - and the final production numbers are announced - I think - or hope - that you'll see where we're coming from - and that the decisions we make are never easy ones -- We sweat EVERY DECISION because we know we'll get blistered no matter what. Hope to see you again this year!
