OF COURSE THEY SHOULD!!! Or call it Z28 We need our beloved Z28 back in the line-up before anything else.

Scott said should we build it, meaning exactly as is. I voted no because 1. I want a Z28 not 1LE, 2. I want to see an LS7, 3. it needs its own unique exterior parts, not parts off the ZL1. So yes we need this kind of Boss competitor, but I want to see a Z28 styled similarly to the Leno concept with cues from the SSX.

The 1LE isn't a model, it's just an RPO. It's not something you just change to Z28. It's like the RS package. You can have a 2LT RS with the 1LE package.

As "defining" as those discussions have been, they have also been a cause of concern. Let's "un-muddy" the waters...

Camaro 1LE Concept

Born in the Camaro’s third generation and refined further in the fourth generation as a road-racing performance package, the legendary 1LE option code designation returns to the Camaro as a concept intended to carve up road courses. While only a concept, it borrows production components from both the Camaro SS and forthcoming Camaro ZL1 to deliver a competition-ready package. Hash mark graphics on the front fender are pure Chevrolet racing cues, too.

Vehicle highlights:

- Victory Red exterior color, with flat black hood and hash mark extensions
- Satin black splitter, rocker panels, rear spoiler and outside mirrors
- Sport suspension featuring Magnetic Ride Control
- Electric power steering
- Six-speed manual close-ratio transmission
- Lightweight 20x10-inch (front) and 20x11-inch (rear) racing wheels (satin black)
- Goodyear® Eagle F1 Supercar G asymmetrical tires (from the ZL1)
- Brembo® six-piston front calipers, with two-piece front rotors, and four-piston rear calipers (Chevrolet Official Licensed Product)
- Dual exhaust outlets with ZL1-style active exhaust and diffuser
- Shock tower brace
- Chevrolet Accessories red engine cover
- Black leather interior with Light Stone stitching
- Graphite Silver door and instrument panel inserts
- ZL1 shifter with Light Stone stitching
- ZL1 flat-bottom steering wheel
- Chevrolet Accessories pedal kit


“The Camaro 1LE concept is all about the track,” said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer for the Camaro. “It’s an all-out race car package that pays tribute to that special option from the past.”

ONCE AND FOR ALL...please vote now:

YES

or

Quoted so it doesn't get muddled.

I think so too. Maybe 1LE or nothing. Not so bad though if you think about it. Although I wonder how heavy the 1LE will be? If it is 1SS based that saves a little weight, but not much. 4,000 lbs?

I will be disappointed if there is no 5Th Gen Z/28.... :(

If they don't I am sure there is a good reason though.

Is the trans the model developed for the ZL1?

[Chemical]

I say yes.... But not JUST red... Come on...

How soon can this be built?

I'd guess pretty soon since it's all ZL1 parts...

They have never given any indication that it would only be produced in one color.
