Thumbs down Its Official ! !

There will be NO Z/28 coming from GM . It has been decided that the SS will suffice for performance fans in the coming years . Rated at or near 436 HP . The SS will be the top of the line Camaro from here on out .
Wagnor will give out some info tomorrow morning at 9:00 A.M. eastern . concerning some models that will be dis-continued plus plant closings & of course more lay-offs .



Way to go Wagnor .

HAHAHA All you can do is laugh at this I swear. GM is just too late with this damn car. I knew this was gonna happen, and once again to all the genius wannbe car salesmen out there, it will not compete with Mustang in price, it WILL be over 30gs! We all knew this was coming.

Talk about a c*ck tease for the last 6 years hahah! Looks like my old gym sock will have to do and not my new Camaro!
Good Luck to all!!!

You sound like a know-it-all
You know it'll sell over $30k... yeah, when GM itself said it will be priced around the mustang. That we already do know.
Somehow I get the impression that some of you people would be so happy if the Camaro failed...

All that I know is that I will not buy a N/A car for my next purchase.

However, I am sure they will not confirm or deny the supercharged car for some time. My guess is that it doens't come the first model year anyways

At least the first 4 people to post this SAME THREAD added in their incorrect and unreliable sources. After being proved to be using nothing but magazine article sources you decided to give up on posting the incorrect sources you use altogether?

SHUT THE **** UP ALREADY. You have no source and you keep posting useless information 2 weeks after everyone else has been proved to not have valid sources for the same unfounded rumors. Read the section instead of trying to sound smart and making new threads.
