This is how z28 should be
I think GM will do a big mistake if they supercharged the Z28. From what i see, a lot of people looking for not expensive, tunable and upgradable cars rather than expensive, pushed to the limit cars (no room fr cosmetic upgrades). Also a lot of people favor turbochargers over superchargers. what I think GM should do for the Z28 is the following:
by this, the Z28 will not be more expensive than the SS but it has the ability to reach or exceed 700 hp safely (either way: turbocharged or supercharged). As for the exterior i don't mined a different style from the SS, I like different trims to be distinguished from the first look. |

There's no point in the Z28 if it can't best the competition in all aspects of performance though. Your 1LE-like ideas won't do it, there needs to be a big power upgrade. Even an upgraded LS3 won't give it the approximate 120HP more it needs to do it. Also, all those things you suggested will make it more expensive than the SS regardless.

But why they don't take their time to develop the ultimate camaro ? didn't GM learn from their previous mistakes when they try to rush things in production ?. in the other hand, My idea simplify is not to jump to the top of performance, I think there will be a big gap in between SS and the supercharged Z28 they will have to fill sooner or later, so the camaro competitors to Mustang should be like this:
SS Vs. GT (Street Fun) Z28 Vs. GT with Trackpack (Street Fun & Track Fun) ZL1 Vs GT5000 (Street Pro & Track Pro) like the corvette which i think they have covered all performances ranges and all of them are popular cars C6 - GS - Z06 - ZR1 |

A car higher than the Z28 = Corvette, in price and performance.

Tri-gun, the only thing I see wrong with your proposal is right at the end, you say it won't be any more expensive than the SS. That's, unfortunately, impossible. Other than that - it's a neat idea!! I'm glad to see so many people have thoughts on this. It will be interesting to see what direction GM takes. Whatever they do -- it's going to kick ass.....many folks look at the SS and think; "that's the best Camaro out there".....truth is, the SS setup doesn't begin to explore the performance potential of this car. |

I don't care what engine they put in it as long as it's the LS9!

My 69 z28 was nice but did not handle well especially with no power steering. I think the new one needs handling and at least an LSA motor.
