2018 Z28 (good) spy shot at Nurburgring!
http://www.caranddriver.com/news/201...py-photos-news
You can see lots of goodies: dive planes, deep splitter, highly adjustable rear wing, CCB's, maybe wider rears than Gen 5 Z28, Flowtie, etc. Have not seen video of it yet at the 'Ring from today / this week, but, I'm sure some will turn up. |

Looks good. I'm dying to find out what engine they're planning/using. Still hoping for a 550+ horsepower N/A V8...what though?

I still think this will be a track-ready pkg available on the new ZL1, akin to the ACR pkg on the Viper and the "R" on the new GT350, or at the very least, a Z07 type option (ZL2?).

If I want something with a wing like that, I'll buy an airplane.

I predict a 1LE version of the ZL1, not a Z/28. At least I hope so. Otherwise my wife will kill me when I get one.

Perfect timing. Mine will be all worn out and I'll be looking fot %20 off on a new one in 2/3 years. That's the only way I'll buy another Cevy.

I think it will be a ZL1 with a Z28 RPO code witch will give it the CCB's and Aero.. Similar to the Z06 with the Z07 package..

Everything about that is lovely. I hope they go all out and have factory rear seat / air / radio deletes, and a cage option.

Is it me, or are the front tires significantly narrower than the rear?
Just a hunch, but I'd be surprised if they release a new Z/28 just yet. There was 2 year gap between the 2012 Zl1 and the Z/28. Am thinking they'll want to fine tune the Alpha platform, see what Ford does in response to the ZL1 and then answer accordingly. Also, if they were to release a new Z/28 too soon, it may eat into the sales of the ZL1 - no? For debating purposes... if they build a Gen 6 Z/28, how will it differ from Gen 5? Can/will they build another one as hardcore as Gen 5 given the difficulty selling the latter? That would seem like a tough sell. Would dealers be willing to tie up large sums of cash for such a car again? IMO, it would have to be more in the vein of the Shelby GT350R. Very stout, but much less harsh (and cheaper). Thoughts?
