Front fascia reminds me of these type of bumpers:


The hood looks like an oversize LT1 SS hood thats been molded onto the a SS/V6 hood cowl or even this:


I wish it would be more subtle and classy. Basically the route that Ford went with on the GT500 vs the GT (the differences are there and clear, but isnt loud and unforgiving the the masses).

Agreed. something alittle more subtle would look good. But i'm not complaining

but guys lets be real here for a second hm is B rupt right now. they do not have money to spend on developing another sports car, also gm's SS and V is workers(cannot remember the name sorry) are gone

this might just be some after market parts that gm is producing for the camaro like bumber fasica hood

True. Gm's performance division is gone for now. But that only included the SS and V models. Nothing says the Z28 was included.

People need to stop focusing on the LS7. That engine is quickly on its way out.

It would be to the SS what a ZR1 is to a Z06.
Current automotive problems have frozen this program.
Motor Trend had seen this picture in advance (its probably from a few years back!), and came up with their rendering.
The new Bumblebee Camaro carries this look, as the Z28 was to be ready for later this year (and coincide with Transformers 2).
If things improve at GM, this car may yet still see the light of day.


Oh, and I want that book!

honestly do you think people will buy this? it's just not convinient to make a stripper package, and Scott has already said it would be more cost effective to have a stripper package, due to low demand.

yup, that's what they need to focus on right now

Since it seems the Z28 is far off, GM might wait for the Camaro to incorporate the new direct injection V8 before adding another model. Then again, they could add a high end V8 model soon and upgrade all three, like they did in 1998 when we switched from LT to LS. Iiiinteresting....

I really think the best thing to do is to wait to introduce a high performance gen V engine for the Z28 or possibly keep it for the SS.

safety standards wouldn't allow for t-tops either way.





Now my question for all of you is.

why does it have to be a Z28?
There are other "special" Camaros besides the Z28. Don't be surprised if we see another special edition Camaro other than a Z28 in the future.
