The New.. Z28.
http://www.chevroletreports.com/blog...ro-z28-is-a-go
Yes.. it's been announced. Now I personally prefer the 5.0 over the SS, but.. this new Z28 looks like it'll murder both the 5.0 and the GT500. Ford will have to step up their game to compete with this monster, first by realizing that if you want power, no replacement for displacement. Also stop using stupid truck engines for your performance cars! The 5.4L they use is a crappy platform for sports cars.
Seriously though, GM is offering some SERIOUS bang for the buck.. It's creeping heavily into Corvette territory.. maybe it made it's own niche, the Super Pony Car?

If they can keep the pricing below $45K, that will be my new car. I love how they deleted the SS bumper vent and added the taller cowl hood. Add a catback, smaller pulley, and tune and your pushing 500 to the tires. SICK!!!

wow lol it's like why buy a ZR1 now lol this thing is half the price and for 5-10 grand more you can match or even pass the ZR1 numbers, but i guess it's still the idea of having a vette vs a Z28

Gunna have to have a lot more power to make for the half a ton in weight difference. This is not a Z28. This is a Camaro GT500

#'s don't mean anything when it's still slower and less of a car in every aspect.

You are under the age of 30, and have been altered by the 4th gen.

First gen Z/28 was a dog in the quarter. SS396 blew it out of the water. But it depends on his definition of "faster".

SS was an appearance package! 
Z28 was a better open track car (it's main design intent)

Who cares? A BBC will out run an LS motor too There is more to life than 1/4 mile! How would that 396 make out at 7500+ rpm on a road course for hours? What about the SS350? There were 6 cyl SS Chevelles, no? So in the beginning, SS=appearance package, Z28=road race. There weren't even Z28 badges on the 67, it was simply a race package ala 1LE. As with everything, marketers bent things as they wanted later lol.
WBT, do you have 1/4 mile #s on a 396 car vs a Z28? I figure the 396 must be faster in the 1/4 but I'm just curious.

hell yeah! I was poking around insurance auction websites and saw a number of rolled over 2010s. Man, they are tanks! Very strong. We need a half track version.

Oh I am sorry but when I think Camaro and BBC I think 1/4 miles times.. When I think Z28 and SS I am sorry but I dont think Road course cars.. I have owned 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gens but never a 1st Gen so I dont know what kind of road course cars they were.. I know that I have never taken any of my F-bodies to a road course track. The only tracks they have been to is the 1/4 tracks.. I guess I am in that 30 and under age range as well..
