Heck why not go back to 1967-1968 when there were four different trim levels of Z/28 available? (Z28-1, Z28-2, Z28-3, and Z28-4.)

You need to go back to n00b school.

Lesson One.

Bigger engine =/ better performer or car.

Exhaust & hood =/ better performer or car.

Time for review.

You suck.

Ok your not telling me anything that I know already.

That's the samething I had been preaching the ZR1 should be top dog, Z28 middle man and the SS should stay in it own division which is the FWD cars Chevy is marketing right now. SS is know as a high performance over the years and should not bump heads with the Z.

I just want the z28 to be affordable like it has been over the years. And the SS line which is a good line; to stay in their own prospected fwd and truck line up chevy's has to offer as a top dollar producted.

P.S. For you sake Please! read my post before trying to confront me. #23

Guess what? Public board.

That means that in the same way a n00b like you can come in and spout nonsense I can tell you how stupid it is.

No ones interested in staying on topic because its been discussed ad infinitum by people who (gasp) actually have some clue what they hell they're talking about.

You by definition were not there.

Re: Z/28 Return as High Performance

Generally when one sets up an arguement they try to avoid pointing out its logical flaws in the next sentence.

Fallacy of Accident (also called destroying the exception or a dicto simpliciter ad dictum secundum quid) meaning to argue erroneously from a general rule to a particular case, without proper regard to particular conditions that vitiate the application of the general rule; e.g. if manhood suffrage be the law, arguing that a criminal or a lunatic must, therefore, have a vote.


Add to that its completely irrelevant to the case of Camaro. But as stated above you've proven yourself to stupid to understand all this.

The front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport coupe will feature an independent rear suspension, and will be offered in a variety of models with the choice of manual and automatic transmissions and V-6 and V-8 engines.

I don't know about you, but to me "variety" means more than one flavor of V6 and one flavor of V8.

well that could lead you to think that but i still think were to far off from actually knowing i mean this is all just my opinion please don’t take it offensively. i mean to me there is nothing saying there is gone be more then 2 models but i find it more then likely they will offer 3 but besides there making and where there making it we know nothing. why fight over something when nobody really has an idea about any thing.

Actually the ZL1 was a factory production Camaro, there was 69 of them made back in 1969. The 4th gen ZL1 was not factory production.

I remember reading that 1996.5-1997 SS had a slightly different cam also, I think that changed with the LS1, but for the LT1 I'm pretty sure they had a different cam. I think the suspension was also different, you could get Bilsteins on the SS but not on the Z28.

Im more of a vette guy myself, so dont jump on me if Im wrong.
The ZR1 was the 385/405(later) 89-94 (IIRC) super vette.
The ZL1 was the aluminum 427 available for a couple years on the early camaro and vette.
