AutoWeek did not mention anything about the supercharged Camaro when they reported the existence of the turbo 4-cylinder Camaro prototype in their August 4th issue. Their view was that no future muscle car programs will be approved by American carmakers. The inference is that any ultra-high performance variant of the Camaro (like the Z28 rumored on this forum) which has not already been approved for production by GM management will not be approved.

Ok, if GM can get away with making a damn ZR1 corvette making 638hp and get decent fuel eco, why can't they make a freakin Z28 top dog?? If GM can manage to improve the rest of their line-up to get WAY better fuel economy to comply with 35mpg for 2020, then how much could it really hurt them to make a HiPo Z28 and STILL be meeting CAFE standards?
