the torque of the 396 makes it much less likely to BOG than the high revving 302, but I'd still prefer the Z/28 for the curves etc...
And the purist thing: Z/28 Camaro should be THE Camaro to have (again). I want it to be widely available AND affordable.... not a $40,000+ GT500kr type 'TOPDOG'.... not just the show-off car as you mentioned about the ZR1.
And wow, what if we could get 12 models
I thought I'd post an observation after watching the Vette ZR1 video with the in car cam on the 7:26.4 lap. The ring would have been the perfect place to show the difference between the '68/'69 Z/28 and the '68/'69 big blocks, the only place the big blocks would have had an advantage would have been the one long straightaway (where the ZR1 hits 176mph or so), but the Z/28 would have been so far ahead of the big block by that point on the track that it would not have mattered. I would have loved seeing a fifth gen. Z/28 with the track oriented content at a price point closer to the SS as it was in the first gen. Based on the rumours and speculation thus far it appears that if we get a Z/28 it will be priced considerably higher than the SS.
