That dealership is just about 10-12 miles from my apartment. Hopefully I get to see this brute rolling around soon. Congrats to the new owner.

Well they cancelled the Z28 model, which would have been a GT500 competitor, but the appearance package they had for it was much better than the SS's IMO (which clearly it should have been because it was going to be the top trim).

The first one is not a SS trim model, it doesn't have the mail slot bumper.

Ah nice but is that "z28" an official pic from GM or someone's imagination of what a Z28 will look like?

Well it wouldnt matter either way now that the Z28 is canceled. IMO its just a good reference/basis for someone create aftermarket parts from.

Has the Z28 been officially canceled (by GM, not a magazine), or are you guys just speculating?

It's on standby. No concept has been officially unveiled.
