LoL WuT?

Sorry guys, either way I don't care for it. It looks like a cross between a camaro and an italian supercar. What happen to the muslce? Hope they make the one that looks like the movie bummble bee with the hood scoop.

So like the Earnhardt Camaro, cool car but never to be mass produced? Really bad lookin' car though...Wow!

RSHugger · 11-03-2009, 09:00 AM

Didn't Jinx do a rendering of a "Z" with that style hood as one of his visions? I like the car, clean lines... it could be hinting towards a future Z car... but for a V6 that car would kick some serious oval butzky.

Looks like Jalopnik was right...

Must have the new exhaust tips and wheels.... Very nice

I'll take that car with an LSA and about 15 psi of boost

I'm getting a feeling of deja-vu here.. Didn't you say this exact same thing once before?

Scarrzz · 11-03-2009, 12:34 PM

The Z28 IS going to be a Supercar, just not Italian.

I am in lust with the hood, and the entire look of the front of this car. It looks positively predatory.

( +10% if the dual vents tie into the intercooler system )

I'm patient, and never lost faith that Chevy would eventually up the ante with a Z28. When it comes our way, I will be much poorer, but smile wickedly when I pass the 'stangs.

Rodrunner · 11-03-2009, 12:43 PM

Well, well, well....mods awake before noon. That's nice to see for a change. Yeah, hard to believe they'd put anything but a big fat V8 in a Z28....least I hope not.
Quit pickin' on Tran, Supermans. He just may be right this time.

If you read the comment #4 on the AutoBlog link, a guy who was supposedly there last night said that Leno commented that if it was up to him, this would be the next Z/28. THANK GOD IT'S NOT UP TO HIM.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 11-03-2009, 07:52 PM

Odd....I think you all are thinking too..."straight and narrow"....
Why does the skin have to come with the powertrain?

After all...the V6 Camaro (most closely styled to the original concept car)....does not come equipped with an AFM LS2....

We know the Z/28 is a little ways away...

We also know that there are....other...Camaro's that could use a TT V6, yes? Not-yet-been-named vehicles. The likes of which would do well competing against an 'ecoboost' Mustang........riiiiiight???

So why is this vehicle "all or nothing"?

hmmmmmm.....

Don't overthink it. It's hot. Enjoy it.

I think it would be great for it to be offered, I'm just totally against it being labeled as a Z/28 though with that engine setup.
