At least its not more 'metal'
hahah
It'll be heavier, but it'll have some power to get it to move (mind you it needs it)

I'm thinkin 07-09 GT500ish with more HP and an IRS
Not a bad combo, just too bad it wasn't lighter.

I hope and pray that the Z/28 will do MORE with LESS against the GT500. Imagine for the moment a 475hp car that out performs a what 540 hp car. That to me would be best bragging rights in the world!!!! If done right, the Z/28 should TAKE-OUT both the 302 Boss AND the GT500. Prediction: Again IF done right, The Z/28 will put an end to the Horse Power Wars and be declared the UNDISPUTED WINNER!!!

So was whomever designed that hood.

I do love how they tried to rip off the 5.0's ring-style engine cover and totally failed to make it anywhere near as nice looking.

I think the SS should have been the one with the supercharger and the Z/28 with a 302 or other small V-8 to go head to head with the Boss 302, like in the old days.

This is like computing probability with ricer math only with larger numbers.

I agree that the Z/28 should have been more true to it's heritage especially now in the era of the new Boss. Z/28 kinda just seems like a marketing ploy now.

Now with even more cartoon fluff!

Seriously? Really?
I just don't know what to say anymore. I was half way looking forward to this car just for looks and awe. Well I am awed alright. I can't compute all the retarded posts. I hope it gets better in the end. See Jay Leno's twin Turbo V6 version, then start doing some more R and D.

Alot of Camaro guys think the same way or really want the GT500 fighter to be called ZL-1

Ya that 's what I've been clamoring for a while.

SS -GT
Z28 -Boss
ZL-1 -GT500

It's pretty much how it was back int the day. Z28's and Bosses tearing up Trans-am, SS's and GT's tearing up the street and the GT500/ZL1 tearing up the strip.

Unfortunately the ZL1 is going to be an uber limited SLP creation, not something your average joe can buy.
