Final result = 3850, roughly. MR would weigh more...

55 pages and counting. Feel free to visit/contribute, y'all...

Now, if only GM would listen to us and build the damn thing.

I've kept the faith long enough......get it done already.

Hmmm, black side mirrors, black splitter, black spoiler. Where have I seen that before? Looks great!

Edit: I'm a noob, wannabee car enthusiast and already have a minivan at my disposal! I'll shut up now.

This concept should be an option as it always has been on previous models. This would be a great step towards an almighty Z/28, right behind the ZL1

.. The production would make more sense since it uses ZL1 components and can push more cars through without switching the line up. This should lead to a Z/28 that is a competitor directly with the Boss 302 LS which is around 48k. Epitome of a Z/28 should be a LS7 with forged 19s, weight reduction (sport seats, rear seat delete, light weight battery, simple exhaust system, and the titanium rods in the LS7

. All the rest of the components would be from the parts bin. Validate the car with the LS7 and sell them for 49k.

Afterthought, I know that this being a badass Camaro it would be low 50's. But the Camaro has always been a little bit more than the Mustang, to me and this is an opinion the Camaro is built a little better and has the styling hands down well worth the extra to me. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks the ZL1 should cost a few grand over the competition due to the performance and technology.

And the 2011 GT I had cost me less than my SS and that is fact..

It's a great afterthought. The SS has independent rear suspension - the Mustangs do not. So based of the cost differences between models in the same class between the makers - we can expect the ZL1 to cost a little more than the GT500 and this possible Z28 to a little more than the Boss 302.

Really sweet package but how about a bump in hp say to 450-470 range.

Exactly and with the ZL1 with MRC, independent rear, multiple coolers, ptm, and numerous other things you can't get on a gt500, why not be willing to pay the cost to have an American icon that rules the muscle car segment.

The Camaro for me is more than a "car" it's a way of life

. I'm not a brand loyalist or fan boi. I only put cars I own in the sig that are pertinant to the site

This is a really good point. With eps and new exhaust it will not be able to compete with the Boss. That's why I'm all for them installing a handbuilt LS7.

2010SLVRBULIT · 10-29-2011, 10:50 AM

yup, just read about this 1LE on autoweek. So this is the Z28, huh...

Runin11z · 10-29-2011, 12:21 PM

I would expect this 1LE option on a SS to be comparable to a Boss. And a Z/28 comparable to the Boss LS. Both costing 2k to 4k more than said competition. Thinking about this I know it will not happen due to the fact GM wants to sell units and with a "real Z/28" being a niche car I doubt them ever producing one on par with the Boss LS, which would necessitate a LS7. Which by the way would not be rated at the vettes 505hp but then again I would not mind a 480hp LS7 in a Z/28

We can cross our fingers and hope not. I commend GM for taking the steps towards what we are asking but only time will tell. As for me I will wait for a carbon edition ZL1 convertible. Since it doesn't seem like this will be a very limited production run on the ZL1 I might as well wait to see what the rarest version will end up to be.

That thing is so nice.....

Nice first post.... But I would figure that since your info says 2012 ZL1 you would have posted your six digit first....

29er · 10-29-2011, 01:24 PM

would have been nice to see that rear end black like the ls7 concept..

anyway if it's the poor's man zl1 as the new z/28; i'm in ! i really like it. the black hood does it for me.

I like the wheels. They'd be perfect if they were chromed.
