There HAS to be good speed shops in Alabama that can do the swap. You could get all that done and still be under $50k which is the price point you said you wished the Z/28 was going to be at. Then you'd have your custom 427 Camaro. You aren't being "left out" of the Z/28 experience because it wasn't and isn't intended to be what you want which is just a large displacement straight-line street car. The ZL1 is more like what you want but even then it's forced induction rather than a large cubic inch naturally aspirated engine. And it costs more than swapping a 427 into a 1 or 2SS. Stop complaining and pretending that everybody has gotten exactly the Camaro they want from the factory; it's not that kind of car. It's a starting point for customization which is what EVERYBODY pretty much does with it. Change your attitude/view of it, get a car, modify it the way you want like everybody else does and join the fun. You're missing out on a great car experience and there's absolutely no good reason for it.

The concept Black ZL1 shown (2 created, potential COPO 9787 assigned but never factory-built) was Piggins' attempt to get more volume, but its likely $9,000 tag was the final killer.
COPO 9560 (ZL1 engine - 69 built) + COPO 9737 (Sports Car Conversion Pkg, created for Don Yenko but orderable by anyone) = the closest thing to a ZL1-Z/28. Exactly TWO of the 69 were ordered (#3 - Berger, #69 - Huebner). Z/28 15" Rally wheels/tires, suspension and 140 mph speedo were included. Curb Weight similar to Z/28. http://www.camaros.org/9560list.shtml Curiously, NO Black COPO 9560s were factory-assembled. Tuxedo Black was "restricted availability" before COPO 9560 "volume" production commenced and then discontinued after April 1st (no fooling). Last edited by SEVEN-OH JOE; 08-08-2013 at 09:17 AM. |

The great thing is now the 2014 Z/28 has the best of the best components.

Al Oppenheiser can sure walk around every question that was asked super well. I never seen someone dance so well since micheal jackson recorded his thriller video.

...I am objective rather than subjective in my thought process, and thanks for siding with me on the spelling point. I am not brainwashed, and have been critical more often than not with the product. I will end saying I have worn the Bowtie for almost 40 years though. So, I am brand biased to a point. I am dyed in the wool Camaro!
