I actually love how they don't have any other options other than choice of exterior color, especially with it only being a manual transmission. It's like, "Here's the most badass Camaro out there, it's not meant to be cruising in, it's meant to be driven ***** out. **** or get off the pot!"
I agree!

I think about it this way, and you will hear me repeat this a lot...
We wanted a new Camaro. We got it.
We wanted HUD in that Camaro. We got it.
We wanted a Convertible. We got it.
We wanted a high-end, supercharged power machine. We (just) got it.
Granted, I say we as in the majority of the voices out there. In addition we cannot have everything that we want just the way we want it. However, If history repeats itself, the Z28 name won't be forgotten. I mean...what else is left? Is anything on the radar to directly compete with the Boss 302?

Other than the name, I love everything about this new super Camaro. Pricing is going to be the factor in whether or not one is in my future. 
As an alternative, I'm now considering picking up a used V6. They're competitively priced now, and when the convertibles start dropping, I imagine you'll be able to pick one up or a song.

I think if you look at the tire specs for the CTS-V you'll see that transplanted to the Camaro maybe a little wider. It is essentially a similar car. The ZR1 has 285's up front and 335's in the rear. The CTS-V has 255's up front and 285's in the rear. It would expect to see somewhere in between 285's and 315's for the rear feet. I think there was rumor of 330's but I don't think 330's are even a size that is currently made. Doesn't mean it can't be engineered for the car though.

Looks like I'll be waiting a little longer for that duramax.
Z-28? Good call Becky.
I'll start guessing for the next one - Jay Leno edition...rebadged as Z28 in 2013....Fred's brother Bill's uncle Joe's wife Julie's daughter said so.
