All you've heard is, "it's not dead" Would you be any less a fan, would you settle for a V6 if you really wanted an SS that might be in the near future. My guess is you would hang on in much the same the Z28 guys are.
So please consider this when wondering why we are so wrapped around the Z28 axle. All we are asking is you respect our enthusiasm. Much the same way you would respect ones enthusiasm for a Vert, SS, RS, Auto, manual, sunroof, 20" wheels. We understand we may not ever get a Z28. Just like a few months ago all of us knew there were things on the Camaro we might not get. You waited and got your answers. We're still waiting for ours. Bear with us and, if possible, support us as we anxiously wait for our preferred Camaro's future to be announced. It's not a matter of the SS being less than a Z28. Trust me If GM wants me to buy an SS. All they have to do is say there will be no Z28 any time soon (more than 3 years), and I will be standing in line with the rest of you putting in an order for my RS/SS.

It would be useless to highlight what I agree with because the words have been taken from my mouth. If there's no Z28, or it doesn't fit my personal profile, I'll jump in an SS and make it what I want. The argument that we shouldn't have an opinion or say on what we think it should mean continually frustrates me because it would be the same if I said your wanting an LS3, TR6060, 20s, and halos is a dumb idea and you shouldn't want that. No one, that I can recall, who is on this Z28-wagon is saying the SS is not good enough; we just want more, and why shouldn't we. We aren't taking anything away from people who are completely happy with what we know of the SS, so why all the negativity? Personally, these posts are just becoming more and more life-sucking. I don't understand why people who don't want/need a Z28 just not post here unless there is at least constructive criticism. I'm all for expressing opinions and what not, but I thought the idea of this thread was for support of this model, not to shoot those of us who want one down. JMHO.

G: "I can't!"
M: "Well, then can you hang around a few minutes? He won't be long..."
G: "I promised I'd be at the Robinson's - they've lost nine today."
M: "Well, when's your next round?"
G: "Thursday."
Z: "I think I'll go for a walk."
M: "You're not fooling anyone you know. Isn't there anything you can do?"
Z: "I feel happy! I feel happy..."
*WHACK!*
M: "Ah, thanks very much."
G: "Not at all. See you on thursday."
M: "Right."
And thats all I have to say about that.

P.S. - If we bug them enough, it'll come true. So, shhhhh... Keep the faith.

First off - FUNNY!!!
Second, that's what I'm hoping for. I'll post as many positive and supportive messages as I have to as often as I have to as long as it means something to someone who has any say at GM. I don't think the project is threatened, perse, it just may not fall along the lines of what I would like. If it doesn't, no biggie, I'll pick up an SS

For all we know a ZL1 will be the GT500 fighter. Heck some people might be right in the Z28 might be put in between the SS and V-6 but with a stiffer suspension and less power then the SS. We don't know. but everyone is crying for a GT500 killer I'm sure GM will give it to you. But to say the Z28 is going to be it is totally inaccurate.
Or a Z28 might be a super gay Turbo 4 low optioned camaro (if it is I will shoot the person in the head that did that. . .refer to my sig). very strong feelings against this one. . .and if it happens I will honestly just buy an RS/SS. I'll get over it. just like most of you will get over the fact there isn't a GT500 killer out or announced yet...at least I hope you keep the faith.
swallow? an african or english swallow?
we are the knights that say nyi!

Yup, no one knows at this point. We're just going to have to hang on for the ride and keep our fingers crossed.
