The Corvette isn't the limiting factor for Camaro performance today and hasn't been the case for a number of years now. |

Maybe they want to give the new mid-engine Corvette the spot-light for a while before there is a new Z/28. Lucky Patcher Kodi nox ...

GM went ‘down,’ not up when looking to new models
Lots of great comments about the viability of a potential new Z/28, truly. But Chevy had a different idea on how to squeeze a few more buyers out of the Camaro fan base, that idea? The LT1. I know right!! How confusing is it to have a 1LT optioned ‘Ro and a LT1 option? I get questions all the time about what my car is. Is it an LT1? A 6cyl? What? It’s what many here hoped the Z/28 would be, a stripped down version of a higher model. The LT1 is built on the same premise. Take a higher model, the SS, strip of the things most drivers don’t want or need, reflag it, and see what happens. The LT1 is a street focused SS without the ‘track’ features, but with all the power.
I too would love to see a new Z because the badge is a true icon in muscle car lore. Unfortunately, GM finally understands price-point, market position, and their best shot a new buyers: the Z/28 would be too gimmicky, but that won’t stop me front wanting to see one being made! |

It's the best dragstrip v8 trim in the lineup. It's lighter and the smaller rear end caliper makes adding a drag pack easy. No point in paying SS money to get a badge and then throw away the rear end brakes. You're going to be taking more parts off the SS off the car than the LT1. When you're in the 9s, nobody cares what the trim plate says. They just say whoah that's a bad ass Camaro. |

Maybe they’ll bring it back someday… Of course at that point, it’ll be called E/28 (for obvious reasons)
