Chevy is finally stepping up to challenge the big DOG GT500? This will be interesting.

Certainly unimpressive looking from what we can see. Hopefully it'll have the performance...

Is it me, or would the 'maro/z28 lovers take anything for an exterior? I mean... that thing is hideous. Really.

/I don't understand GM or their followers.
//GTO had such potential... but they farked that up too.

You'll get no Camaro-knocking from me. I think it's a fantastic looking machine with a fabulous engine. I'm still a Mustang-boy through and through, but I still love all American Muscle Cars. And if this keeps Team Mustang on their toes, then it's a very good thing

so safe to assume at least a 3950 curb weight? so 600hp to equal it, more to pass a gt500. im sure they are just using the lsa in it, not the ls9. unless i could be wrong, ls9 and a 76k price tag lol

So GM has apparently set a benchmark for the Z28.. It must be faster than a GT vert!

IDK if GM would put int the LS9 from the ZR1 in the Camaro. But you would kinda have to have something in that power range to to beat out the GT500 in a straight line since it just weighs so much plus the additional weight of a supercharger. Its gonna be a fun race to watch though

Hope they put in Jenny Craig over the last couple of years.
It was well over 4k pounds.

Looks like they are putting wide tires on it, which is good.

Oh no I bet the GT500 is shaking in its boots....
What ever will we do......
