Like they did with the Cobalt SS, they named the Super Charged model the Cobalt SS sc Perhaps this is what they will eventually do for the Camaro, the z28 name may be dead but it's soul will carry on in another form!?

I'm not sure I follow. The production model didn't get any narrower, they just widened the rear cabin to allow humans to fit in the back seat. This makes the hips seem less exagerated. In fact the Camaro is wider and lower than a mustang or challenger.

I was never considering a Camaro higher than the SS trim. My price range strictly ends at $30k.

The Z28 was never confirmed dead.
That statement (^) is true in regards to the speculated vehicle, AND the badge...don't get your panties in a bunch, just yet...

OH, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you should dictate what I want. How about you stop telling me (us) what we want and be happy with YOUR car. It's people like you who like to take others' rights away. You can be satisfied with whatever you want; that's your deal, not mine.

How much wider do you want it? It's just like the freakin' concept.

As for the Z/28. From a marketing perspective it makes total sense to leave the Z/28 designation for the top Camaro. SS falls in line with the performance version for all other Chevy's. Z/28 is uniquely Camaro. Before gas shot up to $4.00/gallon and GM's stock fell to a 50+ year low we ALREADY knew that we would not see the top of line Camaro at release. If it makes sense GM will build it. If not, they won't. Real simple.

I'm surprised no one has complained that we didn't see a vert yesterday.

422 hp is nothing to sneeze at. And let's not forget how well the LS3 responds to modifications. Personally I'd have no problem putting the price difference between a SS and a Z/28 (if one is to exist at some point) into the SS and go just as fast for less $. Hell I'll throw some old school Z/28 emblems on it for kicks.

Time to step off the soap box. Thanks for listening.

4 wheel disc breaks (Brembo's on the SS)
Ambient lighting if you get leather
stabilitrak
Electric power steering

It is the same size as a current mustang

There will be no spare tires standard...it will be an option...a tire inflator kit will be standard

no cross drilled rotors from the factory

there will be an obvious appearance difference between the V8 and V6

No Z28 plans for first model year...possible in the future...same with the turbo 4 banger

the gauges in the center will be an option on most of them, standard on 2LT and 2SS

Trim levels:LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, 2SS

the tires will not be run flats on any models

Pirelli is set to supply the tires for the 20" wheels

No E85 flex fuel at this time.
Now stop complaining about they won't be z28. It hasn't been ruled out...

Just to reitterate, I don't think 420+ horse is anything to sneeze at I just want all the durability and reliability of a COMPLETE OEM engineered package. I won't be going to Ford though if there is no Z28, that's for sure.
