I happen to care. I am not a fan of rebadging any car. If for some reason someone made an SS a Z28, the same applies. Nothing wrong with using the hood/spoiler, just leave the badges. But that's why we all have opinions, the world would be boring with just 1....

Btw, there's plenty of Cobalt SS's that you wouldn't want to run into.

I'm sure you'll be seeing some of that on the 5th gens, once the new supercharged Z28 hits the streets.

Since the SS and Z28 share the same exact drivetrain in this instance, once you put the hood and spoiler on, I don't see the big deal if you want to add the badges as part of the "customization". Just be honest about it being a clone when trying to sell it, etc.

Doesn't change the fact of what it is on the title.

I wouldn't be suprised to see that either. Differences in opinion on badging though, but you are correct. On 4th gens, the lack of performance differences makes it less of a big deal. I still don't like it though, but I don't lose sleep over clones.

Definitely agree on the last sentence though.

why destroy a nice Z28 with SS badges?

no offense, but the comment " Only Z28's were avaliable in Mexico..." you say it like an SS is superior to a Z28.

remember, any car can be an SS, but only a Camaro can be a Z28.

What a douche dag, no offense. TOTALLY destroyed it huh?
I guess you can also say 'any chevy can be an SS but only a Cavalier can be a Z24?'

The guy lives in Mexico, have you seen what 60% of mexicans drive in America? This guy must be like a god down there.

Nice Camaro! I was going to so a few SS items on my Z28 when I had it at the time. Looks great! Prob hard to keep a car like that clean. Don't listen to the haters. The "SS" clone is legit and who cares if it's not a real SS.
