I really don't think that this info at this stage in the game would list the Z/28 as a trim level..look a 11 pages of excitement in less than 24 hrs!! there is far more speculation introduced from the info we do have which causes induced excitement than just throwing it out there. We still have months of spyshots and the summer to get through then I speculate the cat will be let out of the bag. Sounds like a marketing wildfire to me and they don't even have to spend 1 cent in advertising!!

Send a message via AIM to Mr. Wyndham
I just received a note from our friends on the Camaro team.

They'd like everyone to know that this VIN card is not accurate, or complete. It's an early draft that was never meant to be used for anything but development of the 2014 VIN sequence. To quote a portion of the message:

"It is not the final document, as it does not include a complete or accurate list of models or content. As you can imagine, the VIN card requires a tremendous amount of collaboration to verify the production information for each model across all four GM brands sold worldwide.

Rest assured, when we finalize the 2014 VIN card, it will be complete and factually accurate."


So that adds one more piece of information to chew on and what this all means, if anything....

Won't be the first time , something slipped through GM official channels and they would be FUBAR to deny it now..

"Originally Posted by fbodfather We do not want to use the Z28 moniker on a car that does not deserve this hallowed name."

Parts labeled "Z28"




LS7 slip + Camaro coming back to USA = Z28 around the corner, watch

I get 24 MPG avg and 30 on interstate with my 550 RWHP LS7 (about 2 - 3 MPG when I floor it, lol). Same with my 400 some HP 4th gen Camaro. Just needs a taller 6th gear. (And some weight reduction )

Damage control!

I was always one to say the LS7 will never make it into a Camaro as it's on the way out and also too expensive (hand-built).

notice the highlight area???? The Book code for the camaro is 8E, and the Camaro VIN card shows the LS7 as does it correlate with the passenger car engine table!!

I hope this is the most likely possibility. There is a reason the LS7 is listed on this Camaro vin card. Seeing the LS7 listed on the Sonic vin card would be a mistake. Good news is they haven't totally debunked the card. The only negative that could be drawn out of that statement in my mind is that maybe the LS7 Camaro won't be ready until the 2015 model year.

Chapter 5, LS7...the plot thickens.....muuuaaaahaaahaa...... This VIN card from the dept. of black ops-disinformation division, is exactly what we need right now to keep us going throughout the winter and keep us excited until we have tangible product information directly from GM, ... Fasten your seat belts........ .
