CRS and chewing gum and talking at the same time without difficulty go hand in hand.....sadly I admit that's so....as that comes on with age.

They did the best they could with the technology they had at the time and it took over a decade for Ford to catch up to the fourth gens straight line performance. To me the fifth gen Z/28 is it's own animal as the original Z/28s had a similar purpose but were no where close in regards to the price of the fifth gen Z.

The 1st, early 2nd and 5th gen Z/28s are true to the badge, in my opinion. The rest just used it for marketing. |

The 1st and early 2nd gen F-bodies played in an era of much tougher competition than did the 3rd and 4th gen cars.
All the 3rds and 4ths faced were warmed-over Ford Fairmonts with rear suspensions that look a lot like GM's intermediates from the 1960's through the mid 1980's. When the other guy runs his entry-level sedan chassis with about 50 cubic inches less engine than yours and calls it the performance model of his ponycar, how hard do you really have to try? The 5th gen is up against a far better Mustang - GRM considers the S197 a game-changer (current issue on the stands). The 5th gen's standard bearers are that much better as a result. Have to be.

^...move into the 21st Century...trade in something...get some skin in on the game, get on board with the Gen 5 Camaro, or even plan on the the Gen 6 without so much commentary. Really.....prolific without first hand knowledge on so much...

I never liked T Tops or the 4th generation camaro. I only liked the 1st and 2nd generation camaro. If I were looking for a 2nd generation firebird or camaro, I would not buy one with T tops.

Nothing better than a tight strong fixed roof IMO, T-Tops, sun roofs, Targa cars are weak. 3RD gen and 4th gen camaro 1le, b4c, and a lot of the GMMG cars were solid roof cars. Also all 100 of the LT4 SS 97 camaros were manual trans and solid roof cars, no t-tops and no verts

I don't get how me not owning a new Camaro means I can't discuss it. Besides, this conversation is about GM building future Z28s like the one I am driving. How do I not have skin in this game? |
