The first Z28 I ever saw was a new 68 red with black stripes my friend bought back in 68. To me that's the real Z28.
No sunroof and targa tops for me. I've had four vettes with the targa tops and all it is for is to catch wind and make noise. But everyones different and likes differents things. On the new Camaro the sunroof takes away from the contour of the roof I think. |

All 3 of my 4th gens have had t-tops; I had a t-top '89 IROC and hardtop '91 Z28.
With that said, I rarely take the tops out. It is a nice novelty, but with how I use my vehicles, I prefer the hardtop. I've only purchased preowned Camaros, so I've taken what I could find; however, I will order my 6th gen as a hardtop even if one is able to choose t-tops/targa top. I figure that if I want to open up the roof then I'd just buy a convertible. |

Lt1 offers direct injection which means a higher fuel pressure capable of handling turbo and supercharger upgrades better. I believe it's also a lighter motor and has Vvt. It's been a while since I read the motor specs but a no gas guzzler capable of 500hp from the factory is pretty sweet.

Here's an article on it. http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...ngine_details/

Z/28 and a Z/28R would have made Chevy a boat load of money. It's alot harder to make a car Show and GO.

For sure a sunroof will cost you helmet room. I imagine that a T-top would as well.
Besides, if you soften the character of this Z/28 that far, there isn't enough reason to build the rest of its hardcore track day goodness into it. Norm |

In stock better mileage, lighter weight and about 30hp and 20 tq less. No gas guzzler tax for owner.

Main thing I love about that 4th gen is the amazing Autozone "racing" seat covers currently saving up for our set of them ourselves

Give it up. We know you don't want the Z/28 to top your ZL1 but it's getting old. Enjoy your car. It's still an awesome machine. |

The 60's cars made the name. The gen 4s just used the name for marketing to try and sell a mediocre car with slumping sales. |

Let me ask you this: How do you propose removing the top? Keep in mind that the Camaro is quite a bit taller and wider than a Corvette.... one would have to be well over 6 feet tall and strong to be able to lift it on or off. My proof: Ask someone who witnessed what I did to a pre-production Corvette C6 in Atlanta at the Atlanta Gathering on a hot day as a storm approached.... :help: ...it did not end well......... The other issue is structural rigidity - one thing that sets a 5th gen far apart from a 4th and 3rd gen is the structural rigidity....... |

Thank you for clearing it up though, sir. Very much appreciated! |
