New Camaro Z28 hiding in plain sight?

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/02/s...8-is-that-you/

Also got my new Motor Trend today and a few pages in they have an article with big bold letters that says "Camaro Z28 is a go!"

No actually it is not. That is a twin turbo v6 that GM built with Jay Leno lending his ideas for the overall design.

Although I don't care for the new Camaro -- that one is tastefully done.

Wow. Double wow, actually.

First, I'm surprised to say that I like it. Secondly, I'm going to be totally wrong if they actually produce it. I really thought this thing was dead on the drawing room floor.

My goodness you are sensitive. It was an existential play on words mocking others here. I'm all for a Z28, and hope GM does well with it. I must have missed your memo that because I own a GTO I am required to carry a fondness for the Camaro. By most accounts, it appears to be a very respectable car, but the styling does not do it for me inside or out.

You've been proven wrong so many times on your declaration that I "bash anything GM", that dog simply does not hunt. Two Chevelle's, three Camaro's, Grand National, TTA, GTO, and several GM DD's, not to mention my pining for a C6. My resume for admiring SOME GM vehicles speaks for itself.

Please do me a favor and put me on your ignore list if you cannot take an innocuous poke of fun, or expect constant praise on all things GM from me.

I'd still rather have a Maloo R8 with the LS3...or The Coupe 60 Twin Turbo V6 or Ls3 over a Z28 with an LSA, the earlier two would probably be more in my price range then the later...

Lets see a SS Camaro runs the 1/4 mile in 3 tenths slower then the GT500.A Z28 with an LSA should have no problem beating it stock for stock all day long.

Yeah, it does. A slightly de-tuned version so as not to make some Caddy puckerhole drop a load in the boardroom.

Not to bench race, but in most accounts of folks running the new GT500 through the quarter mile, one comment that is relatively global is that it's very difficult to get traction. The Z28 with the LSA would have the same problems and probably wouldn't be that much faster than the SS through the quarter, unless they put some big rubber on it.

Just my $.02.

What about the Corvette? Are they really going to let a Camaro get out that out runs a base C6? I don't give 2 cents about 'pecking order' (I hate what Porsche did to the Cayman) so I hope to see a bad ass z-28.

Really guys?

If it comes out it comes out, if it doesnt it doesnt......

I personally dont think it is that great. They gave it 69 vents in front of the rear tires and left the best part of the 69 off it......the lines that go from the fender through the doors and then over the rear tires. Its a cobble job to me and even though I like it they should have made it more like the 69 as far as styling goes. Oh and that interior...YIKES!

I woudl still drive it though.
