I have no doubt that if there is going to be a Z/28, it would be slotted against the Boss 302,so don't hate me... but....

How about a V-6 powered car? Now don't laugh.....

if we go back to what the Z/28 was all about is 1967....this fits. A great handing car, not necessarily the most powerful engine available. I am sure GM is thinking about increasing the HP of the V-6. My "Z/28" would be the lead in for the improved V-6.

The Z/28 would have ZL-1 tires and what ever else that would make handing a priority. It would also be the lightest Camaro available. It would also come with the GM parts exhaust system or something even better.

I was just watching a show a couple nights ago and a 1969 Z/28 was being restored for Auction. It was a 1 of a kind color. Was restored back to original at a cost of over $100K. They ran it in the quarter mile. Got a 16 second pass @ 85mph. Not sure if this is tyical for a 67-69 stock Z/28, but kind of thinking it is. The current V-6 cars are way better than that.

just a thought....
