So will they detune it to keep it slower than the Corvette?

stracke the v-twin owner.

sounds like another "balanced" winner. :

Our lunch topics ranged widely -- from A- and B-segment cars to trucks to Buick, Caddy, and the surging Chinese market. We also got pretty nerdy -- which should provide relief to the tech types who think GM has lost its engineering way.

gm..losing its way. no. when did that never happen.

cadillac and bimmer, great compare...subaru of 1976 did the same.

was there a sentence I missed about the z28? I failed to find anyhting significant at all mentioning a z/28.


as in a previous post: lipstick on a pig.

excep it's a stupid pig.

So it's fast. So the Z/28 is back. I still can't fit a fkn Big Gulp through the side windows, the interior needs to be redone quick-fast-and in a hurry and I'm still not 100% sold on the overall looks.

I feel like consumers are sophisticated enough to realize that this beast with even 1000 hp wouldn't be as good as a base corvette but with a supercharger it does look to stand a chance against the 2011 mustang GT (at least in a straight line). My guess is that the camaro will continually be outclassed by comparably priced mustangs till the alpha platform shows up in 2014, no wait, 2018, no ... uh 2020... maybe.

The real good news here is that GM is betting there are still americans left that can afford something more expensive then even the SS.

The 5th gen SS isn't very far off the 2011 GT as it is what makes you think the Z/28 would have a problem?

Just put a bird decal on the hood of a Camaro. Same thing.

All this mean is 3 years after it comes out I'm buying one. Why pay full boat when you can pay half. ;)
