Z/28: Talk with Chief Engineer

I am sure I know how most will react to this interview, however I hadn't seen it come up on here recently and I think Chevy is stepping up which is good to hear.

Seems to me the majority of people who know about this car and aren't in the F-car camp say two things; "Finally a Camaro I would buy!" and "****, I wish it wasn't so expensive".

I think F-car fans probably say two things as well; "Finally the Camaro I've always wanted!" and "****, I wish it wasn't so expensive"

That is going to be one expensive car for sure.
The rotors alone are about 7/8k to replace. They are carbon ceramic rotors, which really don't need replacing until like 80/90k miles or so. So that helps a little.

Plus those cars will most likely see 50k+ miles anyway.

Naw the 2010+ guys say LS3 and LS7, and probably LT1 in 2016.

I think I'd put the Camaro in above the Challenger.

Just because I always really like looking at challengers and then walk up and remember that I'd rather have a magnum. sigh.

Yeah had the mustang not made the 2011+ changes, I'd likely be in a challenger.

The challenger is beautiful but just too dang slow. And Chrysler makes garbage of course.

I agree, but if it came down to challenger vs camaro, their both goats so I'd take the prettier of the two.
