Any Inside Info?

So this is my first time roaming around on this part of the forums and wanted to know if anyone had some inside info or hard info from GM about a Z28

I doubt it. From what I've read on here, GM is cracking down on leaks.

Just wating around like the rest of us buddy, sure wish we could get a glimpse of hope after 3 years of production

As long as they have some type of Z in like 5 years im happy cuz thats probably when ill get a new camaro

They could be cracking down on leaks cause they might want to do something special with the Z28. Maybe they will release it without warning and suprise everybody like the way they use to do it. Word would spread quick enough after its release.

As I like to say ...

anyone who knows, doesn't talk
anyone who talks, doesn't know.

I'm back in the camp that believes we'll see the Z/28 in the Gen5. It's already been said the C7 Corvette will arrive first in base form, then Gran Sport, Z06, etc.....

So I think the Gen5 Camaro is leading up to the end of it's life cycle with a Z/28. We just need to wait for this darn Corvette to be announced with the next generation of engines. We got 2 model years left, so we should be seeing the Z/28 next Summer.

Waiting on the engine and transmission informaiton also. It is the last big piece of the puzzle, we know about the weight based on the ATS. I read a rumor that the ATS may get an 8-speed auto in the future, maybe in time for the 6th gen?

Auto trannies don't belong in the Z/28.

I wonder if GM would offer an upgrade option for anyone wanting the z28 package, like they're doing with the 1LE.

That'd be like offering an SS upgrade for the LTs and LSs.

Designed with Sibal’s talents and a collection of facts and rumors, the Z28 is shaping up to be a tremendous competitor, taking the Camaro to new heights thanks to a supercharged 6.2-liter LSA V8 engine. While it’s sill possible that the Z28 could get the Corvette ZR1′s 638-hp LS9, the LSA is a more likely option, considering recent spy photos showed a 6-speed automatic (currently offered on the LSA-equipped CTS-V). Plus, Chevy isn’t likely to share the iconic Corvette’s powerplant with any other model – Z28 badge or not.
Possibly more exciting is news that the Z28 could boast even more than the 556-hp found in the CTS-V. This is a near-certainty as Chevy is eager to top Ford in the horsepower wars and upping the 2011 GT500′s 550-hp rating by just six ponies isn’t likely to cut it. And if Chevy can be trusted to toss around some impressive numbers, look for a 3.9 second 0-60 mph time.
Design wise, the Z28 will get a more aggressive front end and a larger bulge in the hood to make room for the massive engine.
Recent spy photos have also revealed that the Z28 is likely to get 20-inch wheels and a brake setup similar to that found on the CTS-V, which boasts 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers.
Chevy continues to be silent on Camaro Z28 news, but we’d expect such an iconic American car to debut at (where else?) the Detroit Auto Show in January.

I hope it DOESN'T have a supercharged engine; leave that to the ZL1. Get the weight down under 3,700 lbs and go with a high performance n/a engine.
