Gotta wait for Ford to strike back.

Then why aren't they calling it the Z28? I'll be a bit sad if that's the case. Of course this will be monster - probably equal to the Z06/Z07 - but I was hoping for a Z28 that would basically be an SS 1LE with a N/A "LT7" with say 550 hp.

Makes sense that this would come first - they already had the LT4. Developing a new engine is gonna take longer. Probably won't see that until the C8 is developed further. There were rumors of a DOHC mill with that.

I don't think there will be a Z28.  This is it.  The Alpha platform is so good and handles this power so well that they saw no reason to go with a lower HP engine for their track model.

Screw the Z28. It's fast, blah blah, whatever. Old news.
What we need is a Berlinetta.

That's actually a really good point.  I hope it's what they end up doing.  At this point GM just wants to smack the world over with how great it's track performance and this is just a slightly bigger sledgehammer for that.

When do we get the ZL1 1LE IROC-Z/28 model?

[GoCougs]

The C7 Grand Sport and the GT350R get/got decent track performance and driver experience accolades without such monster power; I mean, less than this ZL1 1LE, but still...

I want less power, less weight and a higher revving V8.

Fuck.... thats gonna be one hell of a bitch slap. Too bad nobody's gonna care wallet wise.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Maybe Ford will bring back the Probe.

C6 Z's are in the mid 30's

I think he wants something with stable valve guides

I would fuck with a C5... that FRC donk

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

I was never a fan of the C5 Z06.......

Broken valves is just an excuse to upgrade everything else. Ask me how I know.

This popped up on my youtube feed a couple days ago:

I thought it was an interesting review. The Camaro seems like such a nice car, shame it gives up so much on practicality. It does make you wonder how good an ATS V-Sport would be if they just kept the NA V6 and gave it all the other "V" upgrades (including the manual transmission).

[MX793]

I'm legit impressed with the chassis team at GM.  Now they just need to figure out how to make a car you can see out of.  A trunk that doesn't have a tiny opening that greatly restricts its usefulness would be a nice touch, too.

Chevy SS.......

Chevy SS.......

Different (older generation) platform, weighs over 2-tons, and looks like a 5-year-old Malibu.

Another Camaro video popped on youtube:

I was surprised the 6MT went around the track (slightly) faster than the 10AT.

Randy Pobst did run a 1:25.87 with the A10 after playing with the tire pressures. They didn't capture that with the vbox, only
the onboard PDR, so they didn't use it as the official time.   So there's that

[SJ_GTI]

Haha, I think I skipped that whole discussion. No video no care (and I am too cheap to pay for their subscription to watch them when they first come out). 

[68_427]

I'm waiting to see what the ZL1 1LE will do.

So when are you getting one, Cougs? Live a little.

I can't deny the capability but can't get past the image and looks (yet).
