The thing is there is no reason to change it. But time will tell.

gm would be stupid not to use the z28 nameplate.
i say it will be "Z/28" as fbodyfather quoted "Z28", or it will be the z06 "Z"+28.

please do screw this up gm. you got everything right so far.

Now wait just a damn minute. Was it or was it not just confirmed by BeckyD that the
Z28 goes into production 1/1/12. Only internally is it referred to as the HP model.

But going by heritage, wouldn't a Z/28 be more like the Boss car and not like the heavy, ultra high powered beast that they're producing next January? Who's to say that they don't plan to eventually release both?

That's exactly what I'm thinking after these fbodfather quotes. Maybe he's yanking our chain a bit, but maybe not.

Going by tradition, SS would be a good handling car, either, but it is

When he's good enough to look past his biases and actually see if he thinks the car is fun to drive, then I'll take his review seriously. They don't even really mention it's based off a car they LOVE (ZETA I), so I don't give him any credit on comments for this car. If he says that he can look past his personal biases, and doesn't think the car is fun, then I'll take him seriously.
