SO THE Z28 IS COMING BACK?
Maybe they should do a LS3 lightweight Z28 to compete with the Boss and an LS7 Iroc-Z just for fun. What do you guys think?

It might and that a big if. GM has not announced anything yet and it's all speculation to this point. I believe like some that there is a market for 40k performance car for the average joe and the only thing in that price factory direct and no mods is the Boss. The Boss is a limited production car unless Ford changes that at this point. So will GM add the Z28 or revamp an SS and add a track pac opp: iono:
The LS7 will soon be outdated as far as new tech coming down the pipe.

I don't want an LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, 2SS, ZL-1, Z-28, IROC-Z, and a Yenko.
There are enough as is. Let Chevy do its thing. The economy is already bad enough lol! We can wish though. |

There will be a Z/28. GM is on its way to be the #1 automaker in the world, plain and simple. They have heard our voices...

Um....i'm a GM fan and all but uh....they still have a long way to go to be the top automaker in the world. Heck "top automaker" could have an a lot of different definitions.

I think they should do the logical next step and change the body style to the 70 split bumper and then bring out the Z28

When?
Does anyone know when to expect the Z28?
I might buy a 2012 Camaro in July if they are not expected to come out with the Z28 until 2013. Otherwise if it were to come out a few months after the ZL1 then I would simply wait and buy it. A confused buyer...

However, given the time and resources that it takes to develop different models in the auto industry these days, I wouldn't expect a new Z28 to be produced any time in the 2012 calendar year. I've owned several Z28s over the years, and still own my 1969 Z28 (MSRP $4,168.75 -- weren't those the days of affordable muscle?) from Guardian Chevrolet in Brea. So this time around I'm going to buy the ZL1. |

don't hold your breath, if anything, it'll probably be on another, lighter platform..

They need to start by being the best in the U.S.A. first
