I would be happy with a tuned LS3 that picks up torque. The Z does not have to have the same amount of HP and TQ or a SC to beat up on the GT500 on a road course (that is where the Z28 should shine). I would say manual trans only (just like the originals) but then there are too many wimps that are shiftless .

PS NO moon roof (what next T-tops ) except as a option, why would anyone want the factory cut a leak into there Camaro and loose head room?
Speak for yourself. I love the 20"s and I love my sunroof. Don't get a sunroof and order your own wheels if you don't like it.

Absolutely light weight wheels. No bigger then 19”.

I would love some sort of optional “track pack” that could include special gearing and lighter weight (even if it is just 50#) w/ an even more highly tuned suspension.

It will be an LSA which is great by me, I dig watching the Hennessey V700 CTS-V vids.

Machine guns, Rocket boosters... and a trunk monkey. The one that beats up robbers and throws them off bridges.

if those aren't doable, just make it bad ass. A no fooling snarling beast that looks like it'll take your mother out to dinner and never call her again...

I want to see a new Z28 just as much as everyone else, but If a GM representative sees something like this, they're just going to think "Wow, Our Consumer's are self centered"

NOT sure what your past issues were but I have always had good luck with the 70's t-tops and sunroof's no leaks but I guess proper maintenance of the rubber is needed? Cheers

I really wanted the Aqua 2ss rs at first...I was a bit late to the party ---I was over seas for so long I missed the whole coming out--- release info etc I found out in Late Oct the last would be on Nov 30th! so since I planned on a early summer purchase we missed it---I really want the Z28 we have our original family 1978 Z28 silver 4 speed black inside with the orange graphics, Only 71k miles!

I dig the whole ZL 575 and think it would be great with a very slightly aggressive cam. Also the Callaway and their warranty is awesome!

Here is my list that would bring out the 'Ol checkbook:

1. Hood and rear spoiler like the SLP
2. Painted stripes or graphs or upgrade for paint instead of stickers.
NO PAINTED STRIPES OVER CABIN!!!!!
3.LSA engine
4. Wheels like the SLP but make the spokes Grey and instead of black, have the outline of spokes and the whole lip surfaces polished
5.Z28 baging high quality or upgrade options
6.have the possibility for pre-orders to have name sake on production stamped baging.(just thought it sounded cool)
7.BLUE_BLUE_BLUE how about Lemans or Jetstream or marina?????? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

GM - Please release a version WITHOUT stripes. Me thinks stripes look juvenile. Providing an option allows people like me to look dignified, and others to look juvenile if they so choose.

Yes, I concur. I also prefer the dignity that is associated with a stripe free car.

Yours truly, Mr. Mature.

You have my permission to drive a fast car with or without stripes, without worrying about what others may think about you, regardless of how old you "think" you are........
