My thought on the question was this: It's GM's car and if they want to name it Z28...then I guess they can. I think the Z28 name will differentiate the car from all the SS models GM has popped out. I was so damn glad the "Corvette SS" name was shunned in lieu of the ZR1 (long history...its not "new") name for the high-performance version of the Corvette. The Z28 was the track car originally and I agree that using this name to promote the high-performance version is perfect. Let's get back to the roots of these cars and bring back some of the original GM spirit! |

I bet none of you guys remember the RPO Z11 (eleven). That was the order code for the rare 1963 full sized Chevy with the aluminum front end- fenders, bumpers, etc with 427 CI V/8. . Only sold to a very few with connections. Am I giving my age away ?. LOL.

When they brought back the Camaro, they had a chance to refresh the lineup...start over.
I think they made a conscious decision to make the Z/28 special. I for one am glad they did...like others have said...'SS' is Chevy's performance badge. Z/28 is Camaro's performance badge...it deserves the pedestal, imo. But that doesn't mean I think any less of the SS, or even the LTs....the whole lineup is kickass!!! |

Oh man a Z16 Chevelle is awesome, I have only seen a few in the real world about three times but I got to drive the third one at the Camaro Nationals in Kissimmee back in February '09!

I'm with you EROC......I think the SS should be top dog, and i don't even have a good reason why it should be, and i have no good reason why the Z28 shouldn't be,but nothing we can really do about it other than chat it up on here

I forgot the El Camino SS, surprised someone didn't get me on that one. I sold this '71 model back in January.
