5th gen Z28... theres still you say? Orly?

**B34M3R** · 09-22-2009, 07:35 AM

GM’s Camaro Z28 plans are back on and the top-end Camaro version is set for production, according to Ed Welburn, GM’s VP for global design! The modified Z28 body is already completed, but the powertrain still requires calibration work. The tentative timetable is that the Z28 will not be available for at least another year.

The Z28 will be powered by the 550+ hp 6.2L supercharged V8 LSA engine currently in use in the Cadillac CTS-V. The Camaro Z28 special body will include a raised hood to fit the supercharger underneath, and there will be a tall rear spoiler. - http://www.camaro5.com/?p=2318

You guys may not give a damn, but I thought I would throw it out there that hope isn't completely dead for the 550+ hp Z28...

*edit*

I hope they come through with this. The look of the 5th gen is kind of boring to me. Hopefully the spoiler and hood scoops balance up the car and make it more aggressive looking. Imagine a 4th gen trans am without a ram air hood and with no spoiler. Pretty boring right?

That's called balance..
It offsets that baby engine..

Now a WS6 Formula is a whole nuther story for me. I like the front heavy (lol) look with the short whale tail and double decker hood. Plus you can see the 315's better out the back and sides, way more aggressive looking imo...

I have always liked that spoiler. I have always wanted an IROC over the Z28. My father and I were watching a Rolex race on SPEED earlier today and I had a brainstorm. I told my father I could see the gen 5's being IROC cars.

I still think the 5th Gen has some serious potential

Never buy a first year GM model.

They always add spoilers, ground effects, engine upgrades and other cool stuff in the 2nd and 3rd years.

Anyone who bought an '82 Trans Am back in the day got ripped off big time. Two years later the ground-effects were standard, and the L69 H.O. Trans Am put the first model to shame.

The '93 and '94 LT1's had issues, and you had to have a "Trans Am GT"

to have a normal Trans Am spoiler the first two years.

Its a gay marketing tactic that needs to be killed off. Another reason I have come to dislike GM.
