Yep it'll be there. Count on it! Will it beat out a 2014? Not by any means. It'll be watered down for more consumers. Likely in the price of $55-65k. I don't see a 2nd ZL-1 coming out.

Gen6 Z/28 no doubt. It will be merged with the ZL1, like the C7 Vette Z06 has merged with the ZR1. MSRP. Who knows. The LT4 is the only top of the food chain propulsion plant. Maybe they will offer different supercharger variants. But the internal motor itself will remain unchanged. Once it's certified, it's written in stone.

I believe they will offer both the ZL1 & Z/28. I also believe that Ford will offer both a GT350 & Boss.

One thing you can be assured of ... and don't be disappointed ... it will not be released in the first model year. Current-gen ZL1 was not...C7 Z06 was not...it's just not good tactics to put all your cards on the table in the first round of betting...

I agree but I think the Z/28 will lose the slash, stay naturally aspirated (302cu LT5?) and be placed just above the entry level V8. I think it will take the ZL1s place as the somewhat affordable supercar and outperform the current ZL1 due in large part to the improved platform. I think the 1LE returns to continue as a great track package and I see the ZL1 sitting this one out. I think anything over and above a sixth gen Z28 requires a successful first few years of the sixth gen, much how the fifth gen evolved. If that car comes to fruition I see them using a new name to keep things fresh.

ZR1 is gone...so should be the ZL1 going forward. It's a shrinking market due to technology advances, Corporate downsizing and MSRP's

This is whats expected: if an improved LS7 is coming, then def. a 6th gen Z/28 will be out.
Powertrain The 2015 Camaro is expected to offer the following engine choices:

No LT 7.0 liter. They tried it for the Z06 and it would have made less power than the LS7 due to emissions. Hence the supercharged 6.2 LT4 under its hood.

Then Id imagine a smaller supercharged 6.2L would be the engine used on a Z/28 and eliminate the ZL-1 from the camaro line-up?

If an LT4 derivative ends up in a Camaro, they might change the pulleys to drop the boost or leave it producing the same power. I don't see Team Camaro doing a blown Z/28. That's why I think the ZL1 will stay. |

...whatever...follow the Vette, see how the Camaro will follow the same suit going foward. Hand in glove they are. The Vette is merging models, so shall the Camaro. Shrinking is the keyword going forward. Technology. Expense. Survivability. Streamlining. Then in a not too distant future, a limitation...because such things as we know now will be become too exhorbitant.
