The originals didn't look too different from a base I6 did they?

i dont post much but when I do...
I read all 24 pages and every comment on the thread...even though it is clear that GM would not divulge any information with putting an emblem on the exterior and the appearance of a mule car is of the least importance... I would love to see the bow ties in blue out of the factory. To all the skeptics the car will out perform the GT500.... it has no choice.
Only my second post but I read this site daily.... GM please bring back those nostalgic colors and various interior color options. Hopefully they will offer a SOLID interior color as opposed to just having the inserts colored (ie. the orange inserts on black) regardless I will own a 2012 Z/28. |

1969 "look": Rallye wheels with chrome trim rings, D80 spoilers (chin and trunk), wide stripes on hood and trunk unless you ordered "stripe delete" (those stripes were originally Z/28 only but were later made available on a wide range of Camaros), and the Z/28 sat two inches lower than the SS and base models. I think the pics we've seen so far of the "supposed" new Z/28 are not showing all of the changes in the look that will be in the final version.

Even more, these things, both the Boss and the Z, were high 14 second cars under the absolute best of circumstances in stock trim...that isn't 400hp. Heck, my old 351 Cleveland powered Mach-1 would have absolutely throttled either one of those cars stock and even mildly modified I assure you I wasn't making a legit, full 400hp at the crank with all of the accessories attached and the exhaust hooked up. (back in the early 90's) I was probably 385hp or so given the acceleration my car laid down. |

I don't think that SS should be the top dog, considering the the Z28 was a born purpose built race car, i think it should keep it place in the elite f body cars... Either way it gose, i doubt it will be a high prodution car, More of an order only deal and for that kinda of money a Zo6 or a grand sport would be a better deal. Even if it is used, but i would rather have a FireBreather... but thats just me

The Z/28 was underrated, but there isn't a general consensus on how much underrated. I've seen reports from 360hp all the way to 420hp. That is such a wide gap, however it was probably capable of mid 14s at 360hp and low 13s with a 420hp rating.

That said, no way did a bone stock Z28 on the dealership lot make 400hp at the crank. |
