Looking real good. I just hope the problems with some of the LT4 engines in the Z07 Vette gets ironed out. Still, I'm actually hoping GM makes a N/A hi-po version of the LT1 for either the Z/28 or 1LE.

The original '67-'69 Z/28's had a unique 302 engine. The block had extra nickle for strength, but they did use parts for the motor that were already produced. What gets me is the original LT1 350ci came out in 1970, and they call the new motor a LT1 and now it's 376ci. That should have been the LT2! Now the Z28 could have gotten a LT3.

I agree on the hood and spoiler... IF they are one car... But, clearly there are two cars there.... One has flared out rocker panels, the other does not... The tilt spoiler and auto hood would be sweet!! The front vent on the bumper... Not sure of... I've been comparing camo ss vs their camo z and they're very similar when it comes to the actual bumper itself, UNLESS... The splitter is made into the bumper... Then things could be interesting....

GM had the LT1 also from 93 to 97 in the Z28

I meant more of the recent past history. Both Camaro and Corvette sharing the LS1. LS3, then Camaro not gettings LS-7 until the Corvette no longer used it.

I think there was an LT1 in the early nineties as well. 350ci making 300HP.

Is it just me or does the rear wheel diameter look larger than the front?

Took a look at some more of the pictures and they look more like the are the same diameter at some other angles.

I agree, that's what I see... Two cars, but!! One car if the spoiler and the hood vent are electronic... Tilting and opening at higher speeds... But there were two cars there at least... 1 with rocker panels extended and one without rockers

If this is the next ZL1 it needs to be as aggressive as possible to differentiate it from the rest of the camaro line up. A sizable wing as big as the GT350R or bigger.

A 396 lt1 would be great for a z28 with about 540-555hp and a lt4 for the zl1.

I know, it was still a 350 / 5.7 liter then! Now it's a 376 / 6.2 liter.
