Change of plans? Z/28 or SS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

topgun1 · 03-08-2009, 08:24 AM

Now with the possibility of the Z-28 coming out summer 2010 with the CTS-V's 556 hp engine (Road&Track April 09), are there any folks planning to wait it out in hopes of its return and forego the SS this spring/summer? or is it get what you know is being released and be happy with what you got? The Z-28 will likely be a steep sticker if competing with the Mustang GT500 which will put the sticker around $50K.

There is no certainty the Z28 will be produced. I am getting the 2SS and will be pleased with my purchase. If the Z comes out in the future it is a good reason to trade.

Im sticking with the SS and modding the hell out of it

Well IF it comes out then I'll be set up to purchase it or a vert lol. And I'll be able to say I told you so to quiet a few people. Lol.

But either way I'm waiting til the vert or Z28.

fredl11 · 03-08-2009, 08:49 AM

the Vert is coming but not to sure about the Z28. I would like to see it though.

CamaroScotty · 03-08-2009, 09:39 AM

with a little creating re-badging......

Just remember, there are no plans for the Z28 AT THIS TIME.

if i had the money i would probably wait. I'm waiting out the first year anyways so I don't know how much my opinion matters.

garfin · 03-08-2009, 10:07 AM

I'm waiting regardless if there's a Z or not (although that would definitely be my 1st choice!!) I'd need the HUD on an SS anyway, if I decided on that.
I'll wait a year or so and see where all the dust settles. If the Z doesn't make it to production, I'd probably consider a CTS-V or a 'Vette... no rush for me and lots of time to decide.

Best regardSS,

Elie

I'm ordering in Jan 2010 anyway. Hopefully by then we'll hear something about the Z28.

SSOOCH · 03-08-2009, 10:25 AM

I'm getting the 2SS now and not looking back.

Legend · 03-08-2009, 10:28 AM

Getting the SS now as a Z28 will sticker in the mid $50s I would think!!

If it's actually affordable to me...might consider a trade.

But as of now, get the SS and mod it to 500hp.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.... I am getting mine now.

that's exactly what i said in the 'other thread'
if i could get an SS now, i would!

There will be no z in the near future. Not to mention the car would be north of 50k Right now I doubt GM could manage the cost of the program or justify it to thier lenders.
