They've made a TON of $$$$$ on the 5Gen!

I bet they have and that's why I think there won't be a 5th gen Z/28. There is no incentive for them to release one. There is no way to do it that GM is willing to. Using the LS3 would make it more of an SS update package and using the LSA would not make sense. The LS7 is either too expensive for them to give the green light or they don't want to step on the toes of the Vette guys.

1. If GM builds the best 6th Gen they can based on GM powertrain and chassis technology they need not pay any attention to what Ford or any other company does. GM should lead and not follow.
2. The Z/28 does not need to turn a profit. It needs to move iron and not lose money. If the Z/28 can keep the utilization above the magical BE in the final year of production the line makes money even if the car doesn't. |

If GM builds it is a big if. I think the Z/28 that was laid out here was a pretty solid car. It uses existing parts to keep costs down but they didn't build it. From what LOWDOWN says, it seems like they won't either. |

They will have to do something to stay competitive with an aging product. They will have to do something to strongly market themselves. They'll have to do something powerful like Ford did to fight against the ZL1. They'll IMO have to make the Z28.

They will probably release more special editions that have no performance upgrades.

The betting window is open. I'll take all bets, my $2 USD to your $1 USD that there will be performance upgrades to the 5th Gen
