this may just be me, but i actually don't really like the new look... i'm not a fan of the bumper (specifically, the fog lights), or that rear spoiler...

I really doubt it, that LSA is a very expensive and wonderful engine, not to mention the brake upgrades, the 7 radiators, the 2 intercooler's, the same magnetic suspension the ZR1 and V uses

try 50k-55k

Don't worry the SRT10 will be up there as well

I thought if you could purchase stock in a company, then it was considered a public company...

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of the government acting as a loan shark either. I just don't know if that theory holds in this particular case.

I honestly don't have a clue, though, so I'm just speculating.

yes but if you take a loan out intending to use it to buy a car and you dont tell your bank that you are purchasing a car, you can get busted for fraud.

This picture is cool, but, its nothing more than a PS job, based off of Bumblebee, IMO. The person that did the photoshop used the yellow RS picture from Motor Trend's original Camaro launch article.

Proof is in the pudding... or in this case, the picture.

I could see that car coming eventually, but i would be willing to bet its more likely to be the next styling change instead of a supercharged z28. If I could have a Camaro that looked like that, SS or Z28, I would be even happier than I'll be when i get the car that is coming.

I've always said to take this stuff with a grain of salt and to wait for GM to announce something before we take it as fact.

So, in now way do I take this to be official. But it is believable. GM has always said "the Z28 is not dead"

So, I take this as MT's opinion of what might be and leave it at that.

And, if we are supportive, that also helps GM get an glimpse of the interest for a car like this.

Cus If I'm the only one interested, there's no need for it.

It is official. I have thought about it and decided that I would, in fact, sell my left nut for that car.

Being that the original Z was a "roadrace" car, I'd rather see a LS7 under the hood beefed up to about 525hp. It would be lighter, less expensive to build and VERY fun to drive!
