This is it- the 2012 Z/28
http://www.lsxtv.com/forum/2012-cama...pied-2933.html
The Mayans had it right - history comes to an end in 2012, and we now know why. The mythical fifth-gen Z/28 appears to be myth no more, with a test article caught testing alongside other lesser Camaros, and interestingly enough its natural enemy, the Mustang GT500.
Thanks to the folks at Camaro5.com, we have some new photos that reveal a new, albeit camouflaged nose, 20-inch wheels and Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, Corvette-esque quad tailpipes, and for the benefit of the inquiring public, a cheat sheet stuck to the passenger side dash:
Yup, 6.2L supercharged, with the 6AT transmission. Anybody want to take a guess at what the final specs for this engine will be? Traditionally, the top-dog Camaro has always been de-tuned compared to the same powerplant in the Corvette, so don't hold your breath for an LS9-powered, 638 horsepower Z/28. The LSA, on the other hand, might be just the ticket, and 556 horsepower at the brochure would still top the 2011 GT-500 by 6 ponies.

Government Motors continues to dissapoint, time and time again. I bet it's going to be a fuckload more expensive than the GT500 too.

2 people at my work have camaros and while I dont think they are ugly they literally do nothing for me. Nothing about the car screams out and says, dude you gotta get one of those. It just looks like a big heavy brick to me. Not to mention they were real expensive 36k each. This car with a supercharged engine and the way GM dealers love to run a markup, it'll be a niche car thats gonna sit in garages. Only tuner companies will be beating on them to promote their shops. The GT500 is fast, looks awesome, handles awesome, and will be cheaper.

I don't care for the GT500 either.
But at least they move out....unlike the Camaro it seems.
