Camaro Z28 is back on for production, according to Ed Welburn

[gate801]

You can get a used C6 Z06(naturally aspirated LS7) for the price tag that GM will pin to the the Z28.
Will the Z28 subframes, TR6060 transmission and rear-end hold up to 550 ponies? These components will have to be hardened to avoid the hard launch issues that we are currently seeing with only 426 ponies on the SS LS3/M6, and that will raise the price considerably.

I can't wait, my guess is that it will be a 2012 and the first unvieling will be at the NAIS in 2011. Just enough time to pay off the SS and buy a used Z28.

Glad I waited!!! Guess I'll hold off until these hit the streets...or at least wait until further information comes out so I can order one.

Maybe because you can't hold your breath for two years. Heck, I can barely manage 60 seconds.

Maybe so, but keep in mind they will still have to price it below the Corvette, which can be had for that much.

>>>>> IF <<<<<< IF- the power plant was not already in exsistence, IF- the transmission was not already available, IF- emmisiions testing, durabilty testing, hot climate test , cold climate test, yada -yada-yada-yada
were not already in hand.


Then I would not be a believer....

For once the odds are with us !!!!!!

Even the government regulators can see that it is money well spent to

expand the model range with exsisting powertrain packages.

I would like to see them pull the rear fenders WAY out like the Z06/ ZR1



I'm on board ,and not getting off till the moth*r F^*^r is in my driveway !!!

Good taste?

This is the way GM has operated for quite some time...introduce a model with a base and upgraded version, then in a couple of years, move the upgraded to middle of the road and introduce a new upgraded version.

F-body has seen this, Corvette has seen this...you name it, it has happened. Every manufacturer does something like this to freshen up cars...heck, I'm sure that even a company like Smart has even done it.

It's one of the risks of going with a first year vehicle. I experienced this with my Trailblazer SS in 2006. When the '07's hit the street, GM had finally made the front and back seats match. My truck had full leather back seats with Alacantra and leather up front. The '07 had Alacantra/leather on both front and back. They also updated the rear wiper to look less goofy and made some minor tweaks to other items on the truck.

No reason to be upset if you've got a first year car...you were one of the first on the road and you got to enjoy the stardom and notoriety that those of us that will follow won't get to enjoy.

If this actually happens, I am without a doubt going to have one. I am not upset in the least that I got "Michelle" and didn't wait to see what else might come out. She'll just have to be ok with sharing a bit of her garage space with a SIM Z/28!!!
