They actually came with a stripped down balls to the wall LS7 having ceramic carbon brake sporting fire breathing 500 HP Z/28. Exactly what old codgers like me have wanted on the Z/28 threads.
When Fbodfather said "keep the faith." It wasn't so they could change the essence of a legendary American muscle car into a hybrid prius.
I really understand that you forward thinking high tech whale saving earth protecting grocery transporting types LOVE you some EV's. Heck nothing like listening to the high pitched rattle an inline 3 cylinder golf cart makes as you strain to accelerate up a shallow grade. 
I just don't see Chevy ruining the Camaro by making it be a Volt or a Spark.
Nothing wrong with those cars if you want them-- the Camaro however is something else. |
You may be right. I think GM has been hitting the nail on the head lately, especially with the Z/28. I would daily drive that thing if I could afford it. I bought a 1LE because it is such a great car.
While I may believe that we need to be more mindful of our environment, my point is offering a
performance hybrid that gets excellent gas mileage would be a great thing to offer in line with the traditional big V8s, ZL1s, ZR1s etc and a great investment for GM to proliferate and develop technology. I would think twice if a 400hp "sport" Camaro EV were offered over an SS.
Go GM
