Seriously people, give the Z28 a rest. GM is in VERY BAD SHAPE. Be happy you're even getting the SS right now. |

I'm going crazy about the Z28 coming out. I want it to come out but then I dont cos I ordered the 2SS/RS. Which means there will be a faster Camaro out there if the Z28 comes out so I'm gonna feel pissed I got the SS. So yes and no. OMG im split! I cud always sell it but how do you sell something your gonna fall in Love with!!! Grrrrrrrr!!! See my dilema!! Are there any therapists in the house? lol

The GMC Typhoon and GMC Cyclone The Buick Grand National. The Ford Lightning (you said if it's not N/A it's rice) I could go on but you get the point. Stop being a redneck. |

You want a Japanese drivetrain, buy Japanese. Also, not saying that if someone TT's their LS/LT camaro, that wouldn't be sic. The typhoon, cyclone, GNX, and 89 T/A were bad ass and unique for their time... and if GM redid the Grand National with this setup, that could turn out pretty sweet... but not a Z-28, are you f-in kidding me??? |

And where the hell did this come from. How about having some pride in something that your country has mastered over the rest of the world. Something very impressive - 500+ hp factory motors using naturally aspirated 2v pushrod technology.

And the 1 Gen Z-28s had smaller displacement motors that the SS's, where the heck are you going with this? The TT V-6 is synonymous with japan... What I was suggesting is that putting the V-6 TT setup in a new Z-28 would be a mistake. LS9, sure whatever - I probably wouldn't buy it cause forced induction isn't my cup of tea, and yes, would depart from the tradition of having n/a camaros... still would respect it though. I wouldn't respect a factory v-6 TT setup though as our top of the line model - I personally would feel betrayed Last edited by swifttal; 12-11-2008 at 06:28 AM. |

The SS is using said huge engine, and it's gonna be great with TONS of potential for growth. Guess what, most people are going to FI that thing with a blower, some will have the balls to try a turbo and really make it fly. The point is, they got displacement covered. Now strip a 1SS down to barebones, throw in a DI/FI set-up in there...not necessarily a 3.6, maybe a 5.3...and destroy some twisties in that bad boy. Last edited by MerF; 12-11-2008 at 06:18 AM.

why buying a car if that car isn't better than your previous one? All industries work this way: make people dream about dream cars and make them buy a normal car. Same in luxury goods ... few people buy the 1 000 K$ dress, but many will buy the 30 bucks Dior T shirt ... stop the high range, you won't sell the low range. Make a Z28, whatever the price, and make it be the flag of the brand (corvette isn't chevy anymore ..). NO need to sell thousands of Z28 ... it's just about having a flag
