Not a bad look....but that can change to w/e. What I want is a retro looking Camaro that has all the essentials to not only talk the talk but walk the walk if u get me. I want an upgraded suspension so the car gets up n goes, better gear box, wider back tires for more grip, maybe a better trans completely, i want a supercharged v8 and its know as the LS3, more areo-dynamic than the ss, and upgraded brakes, I want it to weigh less than 3500 pounds, and I want it all for 45-50K! You asked my ideal Z28 Camaro well maybe i'll think of a few more minor details but thats it...Just one amazing example of AMERICAN engineering. O and I want the original camaro emblem on the grill not the bowtie, or badgeless either one works.

you want a lot for cheap. believe me that would be wonderful if it was that cheap with all that. but to get it below 3500 lbs when adding a supercharge, beefer bakes, etc will be hard. especially to keep the price down that low.

It will be hard enough to do that at 4000 lbs ... doing it at 3500 lbs is damm near impossible at the price you're looking at.

A well balanced car that not only has HP and TQ, but balances that with weight and cornering ability. So it may not be the fastest, but will kill you in the corners and make up the time it lost plus some.

it might lose one type of race or speed challenge, but it will still win an overall competition on all fronts combined.

(may lose a battle, but will win the war)

I think this is the closest we will get to a good definition of a true Z28.
