When do you think GM will release Z28 specs? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Atleast 12-15 month's away and I think it could be a supercharged V-6,don't get your hopes up that it will have over 400hp, remember in the 60's no Z-28 beat the SS-396, atleast not in Central Illinois.I think the Z-28 will be more designed to be a road course racer, the sport is really growing. Also Mustang will soon be producing a Boss 302.
They don't have the pricing on the convertibles yet and their supposed to start production in JANUARY??
My opinion.

hmmmm so we go with a v-6 and the competition remains with a v-8. . .doesn't make sense. . . that's pretty left field. but if you're right you're right. we will see. I'm sure you're pretty wrong though.

and which ss396? not all of them are equal.

I talked to GM today. They decided to cancel it. Not enough interest.

Then why are the spy pics of it showing a SC V8 with over 550 HP?

Perhaps GM will hire Chuck Norris to be the Z28 spokesman

Tim Allen won't cut on Z28, lol. I could definately imagine some Chuck Norris facts on a magazine add, lol.

Yes, you are right, the 2012 models. Pricing, colors and options should be released next summer for the 2012 models. Hopefully the Z/28 will be in this announcement. Thanks for catching that for me.

How do you tell looking at a spy picture that the engine is supercharged and 550hp??
The only thing anyone has stated with GM that I have read, is that they're not done with the Camaro yet.
I also see alot of 2010 & 2011Camaro's sitting around the dealerships, definitely didn't see that a year ago!
Also GM is coming out with a new turbo charged 4cyl GS Buick and in the early 70's it was a 455ci.
Only my opinion.

Because one of the pictures also show the label saying so?

EDIT: Also did you even go to that thread I linked? The title of the thread even says "6.2L supercharged V8 SPOTTED AND CONFIRMED!!!"
