That red 3rd gen jacked up in the air. Wonder why and how they did the rear springs? An aluminum block aluminum head engine is 120 lbs lighter than a old small block so the front would be higher but why the rear as well?

I think initially we'll see the turbo 2.0L 4 cyl, 3.6L V6, and LT1 V8. I think Z/28 would get a super-charged version of the LT1.

I hope the next Z/28 stays with a high revving, normally aspirated smallblock. It's an important part of the Z/28 formula and lineage. |

I doubt we see the Z/28 come back. I don't see the Camaro team accepting a supercharged Z/28 to follow up the beast of the 14-15 Z/28. The reason there is a ZL1 is because they didn't want a supercharged Z/28.

Well, keep in mind that the LSA Camaro was going to be the Z28, (no slash), before GM came to it's senses. I think a hot-rodded version of the LT1, (think LS1 to LS6), would make a great LS7 replacement and at a much lower production cost. |

Chevy's brand image is refined chassis, balance car so I don't see dominating 1/4 mile drag racing as their top priority. Question I have is how would they configure the Z/28 to make it a volume seller. Do a performance option like the C7 Z07 to add the serious track goodies?

I agree. Lt1 with CNC ported heads, higher compression, no AFM and hotter cam would be sweet. Quote:
I would rather the Z/28 go back into hibernation instead of seeing it with a blown small block. I don't see the need for the Z/28 to be a volume seller.

Why? What would be the point of making a non-track track car?
