Z28 coming back
Z28 coming back I don't get it- isn't the SS the top dog???
Performance models were the first to face the chopping block when General Motors’ finances hit the skids, but at least one performance variant could be rising from the dead. GM’s once lame duck Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is said to be production bound, with the high-performance model in the final stages of development.
According to Edmunds, Ed Welburn – GM’s design chief – has confirmed that the long-rumored Chevrolet Camaro Z28 model is heading to production. Welburn says the body work for the Z28 is complete – including a revised hood to conceal the taller supercharged engine – with final work on the car’s drivetrain being completed now.
Welburn failed to give any specific details, but the Z28 model will be powered by the same supercharged 6.2L V8 found in the Cadillac CTS-V. In Cadillac-guise that engine produces 556 horsepower, and we’d expect to see at least that level of performance from the Z28.
The Z28 package will also include the aforementioned unique body work, as well as Z28-specific wheels. Six-speed manual and automatic gearboxes are expected to be offered. However, the Z28 model isn’t expected to surface until at least late 2010.

yea but let's see what the price tag with that power plant will be insane i am sure, but i have gone for a ride in Ken's caddy and it is AWESOME and that would make me want a new camaro
Camaro Z28 pricing..... I'm sure they will be less $ than a new Cobra Jet or Drag-Pak Challenger. If they can lighten them up a bit (Camaro) they WILL be competetive w/Fords and Dodges at the track....just my .02 cents worth..... WJ
