I think we'll see the production version of the [whatever Bumblebee would be called in real-life] movie Camaro.

So just the crappy spoiler, stripes, and that kind of thing; kinda' like a Bumblebee edition?

...we will have the answer tomorrow morning my friend...it's kinda like Christmas Eve for us Camaro enthusiasts, is't it? Are we going to get what we want? Theres a big present all wrapped up..., all we can do is dream and speculate. The anticipation is sometimes better than the final result however. I am staying cautiously optomistic. We shall see my friend, we will know with certainty in the morning. Then we can write lotsa new threads! LOL, man I can't wait!!!..

No, I was trying to tread softly on the "calling it a Z28" territory.

They didn't hold a press conference when they announced a Bumblebee edition before, why would they start now...

I'm not sure if these weights are totally accurate, but these are the ones I have. 427cid cast iron-685 lb, L71 427 cid aluminum heads-610 lb, ZL1 427cid all aluminum-575 lb, SBC cast iron-531 lb.

I think it was closer to 125 pounds for the block, now that I think about it more... Your numbers look about right, because I remember reading it would come in right around a SB, and I'd consider within 40-some-odd pounds "about". I didn't think something like an L72 would be 700 pounds, though, lol!

Thanks Clyde. I was hoping you could set me straight
