The silver Camaro in the first pic is NOT the Z28....it's a twin turbo v6 designed by GM, with input from Jay Leno: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50381

WoW!!! so many awsome ideas on each camaro for the msot part, denfinately liking the black hurst camaro, would look better with a taller cowl hood and a spoiler that just slopes off the deck lid.

That green is the new Atomic Green that will replace the Aqua Blue Metailc.

The twin turbo V6 Camaro is a great idea, and possibly a great idea for a Z28...

thatd be hot, take a camaro chassis, twin turbo 3.6DI and throw a retro GN lookin body on it

BigAls87Z28

11-03-2009, 08:19 PM

Wont happen. Regal is coming back next year, but it will be an exact copy of the European Car of the Year Opel Insigna.
They do make an AWD, turbo 6 326hp 6spd manual version in Europe, but Fritz already said it wont wear a GNX badge, even if it does get built here for the US.

The Twin Turbo 3.6 is making 425hp, just about the same as the LS3 (1hp off).
Wrap it in a lighter body, upgraded brakes and suspension...I dont see why it cant be a Z28? I like that idea better then a big honkin supercharged 4200lbs car wearing teh Z badge...

Which is why i said...it will be replacing the ABM.
ABM stopped production already. Atomic Green starts in Jan if im not mistaken.

i TT6 doesnt make sense for a z28. the last number is the amount of cylenders. z24 cavalier, z26 berreta, z28 camaro. same as the dodge with the SRT line. correct?

but im not feelin the hood on the "z28" dont like the vents

As stated earlier in this thread, that's not the Z28. and the Z28 is just an RPO code, it doesn't actually stand for anything.

No...Z28 is an RPO code. It came after Z27 aka the SS trim package.
Z28 RPO code is like LS1, G80, Z71, LB9, LT1, 9C1, B4C, etc etc...
It just became bigger.

I dont think it would be a flop, especially when Ford shows off the GT350 in a year or so with the Ecoboost V6 in it.

Knipps

11-03-2009, 10:16 PM

GT350 isn't the GT500

The Z28 should be more like the Mustang's Track Pack.....

11-03-2009, 10:52 PM

Mustang is looking to launch a handful of cars.
1) new Mustang GT with 380-400hp 5.0 V8
2) new Mustang Boss with same power, lighter weight aka what the Z28 should be
3) new GT500 next year which will be ligher and more powerful then this years GT500.
4) Ecoboost powerd GT350, which willa ctually be done all by SVT, only with Shelby's name on it.

tons of SEMA cars there.
Highlights
Camaro Dusk: this is the much talked about "executive" edition that Lutz said. It has a higher quality interior, aiming after the 3 series, A5 coupe area right now. No talk of powertrains, but the SEMA car has an upgraded leather seating, real aluminum trim, iPod cradle, and upgraded and tuned BA sound system.

Camaro Synergy debut the Atomic/Synergy Green color for Camaro, that will debut in Jan.

Camaro Chroma shows off the upgraded 21 inch wheels for this MY.

And of course...Leno Camaro, using a 425hp twin turbo direct injected 3.6 liter, the same engine that is in the LS/LT Camaros. GM has showed off several twin turbo V6 cars for a while. Its only a matter of time...

Also, Ford has shown off its production Cobra Jet factory drag car, complete with roll cage and slicks/skinnies.
Dodge showed the Challenger 1320, and yes...you guessed it...its a drag car too. 426 Hemi with 556hp.
There are also a handful of Ford cars that have been ran through the tuner mill a few times.

That notation was created way later than the Z28 RPO. Z28 was chosen because it was the next in line after Z27, which is the RPO for an SS.

Z24 and Z34 were based on displacement, and then made an RPO code.
Cavi Z24 had a 2.4 Quad motor over the 2.2 pushrod, and the Z34 had the 3.4 DOHC engine.

ORLY!

cavalier z24 originally came with a 2.8 60 degree motor. it did all the way up until the thirdgen cavalier came out when it finally received the Twin Cam 2.4 which was a detuned quad with balance shafts.

The original Z26 RPO designated the late 60's and early 70's Nova SS which all had V8s

There are so many 2010 camaros here I wanna puke. For every nice one there are 10 tacky-ass nightmares.

IMO wheels make a huge difference on these cars. Many of the nicest one here are riding Forelgelines, who really do make some of the best looking wheels you'll ever see in person. $3500+ rings of sheer art.

A lot of the aftermarket hoods look better on V6 cars because of that dumb vent in the nose. A hole in the hood and the nose looks goofy.

The dash still sucks.

The Leno TT car is one of our favorites, undecided on the hood-Id rather have a stock one for a sleeper look. It also has upgraded brakes and tasteful rims. Sign me up

I like this car more than I did last week.

I'll post some pics when I return. For now I'm going to Joes Steakhouse in Caesars for dinner.

This is BonzoHansen reporting live from SEMA. Stay classy NJFBOA.

Nope, the old Cav Z24 had the 2.8 and 3.1 V6, I used to have an 89 Z24 with the 2.8 and with the 5 speed and chip it was a decent little car that got good gas mileage(33 mpg on the highway).

That last 5th gen is owned by one of the co-owners of CamaroZ28.com and one of the 13 Camaro Enthusiasts to be hand picked by the Camaro team, Jason Debler (I belive thats how you spell his name)
He has a maggie on it I belive. He was rushing to get it done, there is a thread on it at CZ28's 5th gen section.

Also, Ford has shown off its production Cobra Jet factory drag car, complete with roll cage and slicks/skinnies.

I saw a few of them at a race at Topeka this summer and every time they went down the track they were resetting the national record for the class. Very impressive cars, but I think Ford is only building 50 a year @ $80,000 a piece.
