GM INSIDE NEWS ON NEW HP CAMARO

Looks like we will be getting a new nameplate folks...And the Z/28 will remain true to its heritage lighter & taking on the Boss. |
I like his thinking.
|
Ok I read it, actually kind of makes sense. When did the ZL1 come about?
|
We didn't confirm or deny that the "HP edition" would or would not be called the Z28. It was just an editorial.
|
I said that the other day, maybe he read my post...:)

If a car is purported to receive magnetic ride - which is a HANDLING option - why would it require a big bruiser name from the past?
This article means nothing to me. To suggest ZL1 is more representative to this new model makes no sense. ZL1 was a faily stripper-type car, too. ZL1 didn't have upgraded brakes, wheels, tires, shocks, etc. Why would a ZL1 need sports car parts? It was only a strip car, and wouldn't need everything already posted. A Z28-type car would need all those components. This article makes no sense and justifies no reason why this car should be names ZL1. |

Anyways...that commentary was nicely written...but it assumed a lot.... |

Yeah - not a lot of known comments, but from the spy shots we've seen, I think there are at least a couple I can bank on. I hate assuming, but it's all I've got :cry::facepalm::sm0::popcorn::drinking: |
I thought the article would have insider information but he was just giving his opinion just like the rest of us. Everybody keeps talking about this heavy weight 2 ton car not being able to take on whatever Ford and Dodge throw at us. Pedders and Pfadt have already shown that with the right suspension pieces the current 5th Gen. Camaro will destroy GT 500's, Boss 302's and it can hang right in there Z06 Corvettes. This HP Edition Camaro will have the balls to take on whatever dares to challenge it for supremacy and that is why it should be named Z28.

They always go back to the weight, but there are cars out there than can manage it well. Look at Godzilla! It may have AWD, but there's a lot of technology there, as well, that keeps it glued to the road. Sure, weight is the enemy of performance, but it is what it is, and as long as it's mangaged well, I'm not complaining. It SHOULD be called Z28. |
Still have to overcome the fact that SLP has the rights to ZL1?
