I seriously doubt many, if any, people here really think we can get an LS9 in Z28 for less than a Z06, or so. I think many of those people would really like to see it (me too ) but I don't really think they think it's reasonable. Hey, we can ask, can't we?

Im a full supporter of the LS7 in the Z/28, and one cool thing between us supporting our oppinion over other speculation is that GM already released the LS7 Concept Camaro at SEMA rated around 586hp (36 more than the LSA), so we know GM has considered the LS7 before either of the supercharged engines, it sounds amazing, feels amazing, performs amazingly, in comparison is affordable and way lighter, and is still highly modifiable (think throwing a supercharger on that as an after-thought ) LS7 all the way man |

I would be o.k. with some "other" smaller V-8. Make the "Z" lighter and give it a track suspension and basic/simple interior (like the LS but with premium sound), some new ground effects and special stripes/badging and different (lighter) wheels with low profile tires. My 3rd gen Z-28 was all about "affordable fun" so I don't know where GM is going with all this crapola of a 40K+ Camaro.

I remember thinking $30K for a 4th Gen was impossible and even moreso with that SLP LT4 SS car at $40K. Considering the advanvements we've had since like '97 I think we're still getting a good value.
JMHO.

Very true, i think the Z/28 should be stripped of the luxury items and be pure performance, then sold at the same price as the SS...that way people that want their luxury Camaro get that and people that want their performance Camaro get that...you can split the difference in price by adding/removing parts, like the SS has its base price, well remove all the luxury items and replace them with performance parts, the price equals out similarly (maybe slightly more for the Z/28) but still, im definatly not liking the idea of a $45k+ Z/28

Not to mention a lot of that $45k+ price comes from all the little lazy frills people want...remote start, on-screen navigation, heated power seats all around, 300 speaker sound systems...lets have our luxury version (SS) and our performance version (Z/28) comparable in cost but appealing to different crowds...i dont wanna see Mr. Suburb dad driving his new fancy Z/28 5 miles under the speed limit and saying "yeah i bought it cause it had the comfiest seats" >={ LOL
