Why is Z/28 more heralded that the SS?

[SEVEN-OH JOE]

In Model Year 1969, Chevy made 20,302 Z/28s.

Today there's about 50,000 of those still on the road!!

Sound system in the Mustang is horrible and I wouldn't take any car like that far enough to get a nav. After owning my GT for over a year, I really know now what I would want in my car. Ford already provodes most of that in the Boss package, but to me, at the time it didn't make sense. Now, I want a bare bones car, with a track tuned suspension, sith no interior amenities. Kinda like an American GT3RS.

...ok, I'll play...., where we goin' here....., other than the obvious....

Putting emblems, or stripes, on something NOT so equipped pays homage to the "real deal" (if not passed off as "real").

Creating one, that doesn't otherwise exist, with emblems and/or stripes? "Blatant rip-off" comes to mind.

What are the chances of this actually happening? I think it would be a good move for GM to make the Z/28 NA instead of SC but would they really do it? I guess it can happen when the C7 Vette comes out and moves to the Gen 5 engine leaving the LS7 with no cars to call home.

There is no doubt if a Z28 is built and if it is built with the LS7 it will sell extremely well. The recipe has been defined amongst the Z28 threads. Build it and you'll probably even bring some of the Mustang crowd over to the dark side.

Don't and you'll see some of the Camaro crowd go over to the "dark side".

If they did that I would be selling internal organs to buy one. I just hope the bean counters don't get in the way of it or that the cost will land into ZL1 territory.

You may be right.

Post some pictures of the Chevelle. You can put them in an album at your profile.
