Hmm, this is a VERY interesting thread indead haha, so here goes...
I would rather see the LS7 in the Z/28 (and i hope they bring it back as Z/28 again and not Z28, Z28 has always been the cheapo trademarking scheme compared to true race-inspired Z/28s or yore) but yes, i like the LS7, 505hp stock and im SURE GM can bump these numbers up at least 30hp by just doing small tid-bits here and there like cam swaps and such, so for the same horsepower you could have an all motor Z/28, plus i mean who wouldnt LOVE to say "yeah, ive got a Z/28, and yeah, its got the original 427" LOL! come on! who DOESNT wanna say they have a 427 in their car! Sounds much better than "yeah its got the LSA..." right? This is just my oppnion at least, id like to hear feedback from you, the best muscle car group on the net! haha, but especially imagine the magazine article "New 427 Z/28 Takes Crown The From Supercharged Shelby" plus id just rather drive an all motor car around regularly than a supercharged car, those are more "weekend cruisers"
As far as the discussion "should we opt for Z/28 over SS?" thats a good question, if the new Camaro is around $45k-$50k then i probly wouldnt, plus since its proven that you can get around 60hp more out of an SS with just a cam swap its hard, but then again we're talkin around 125 more hp, thats exactly the same change from the V6 model to the LS3 and we all know what that does right? haha, and then again, looking back on muscle cars of the 60s what is the car EVERYONE wants? People pay good money for an SS Camaro, people pay REDICULOUS money for a numbers matching Z/28...so id probly opt for the Z/28 if at all possible...we all know its gonna be made, we've always known its coming no matter what announcements are made, its commen sense, so my final word: If you're looking for a nice thrill and a good daily driver go SS, if you want something legendary that will only appreciate in value, and to own the true leader of the pack (at the expense of some extra cabbage) definatly go Z/28...my oppinion, save for the Z/28, your oppinion? well thats why its you're oppinion
