I’d be very surprised. GM never cared about the horsepower of the Challenger or Mustang before. Why would they care with only a few years left in the 6th gen? Al O was moved because the 6th gen is...

If I remember right, Corvette also wanted AFM in the engine, so it was a combination of AFM not letting them rev high enough to make their goals, and not meeting mileage goals without AFM.

Where did GM confirm this?

Al O is just saying they will not limit what cars they build, like the V6 answer turbo 4 1LEs.

I agree about the 2nd part, which is why I don’t want to see it continue.

Except they didn’t break the rule. The rule went from 5.0 to 5.7 liters. Then Trans Am went away and so did the rule.

Besides, no Z/28 exceeded 5.7 liters, until the 5th gen.

That wasn’t Chevy’s rule. That was the class rule. Displacement was increased to 5.7 liters for the 1970 season anyways.

The problem is the people that don’t care about the Z/28 don’t care what the car is called, so building an LT5 Z/28 to please those that don’t care, will only piss off the purists, while calling it...

The odds of a 6th gen Z/28 are small at this point. The 6th gen won’t be around much longer and the C7 is done. The C8 hasn’t even been revealed yet, so we can’t say there will be an appropriate...

Yeah, the engine was N/A but so what? It's not like the ZL1 badge was chosen for its long history. It has very little history, outside of the COPO Camaro and Corvette from 1969.

The Z28s prior to...

The original ZL1 was a racing engine, so that argument holds no water.

The ZL1 is called ZL1 because they didn’t know what else to call the 5th gen car. The 69 COPOs with the ZL-1 427 existed...

I’m not saying Team Camaro couldn’t make an LT5 Camaro that decimates the competition. I’m not saying the ZL1 1LE isn’t a fantastic track car. My point is that once you get away from the point of a...

I disagree. Some things should remain sacred. Otherwise, you end up with the C7 Z06. A “track car” that’s a subpar track car.

They could easily take the ZL1 1LE aero and suspension, with the SS 1LE interior and a 525-550 hp n/a engine and deliver a killer Z/28. Two of those things are within Team Camaro's ability to make...

They have already ruined the Z06 by making it a do everything car. There’s no reason to do the same to the Z/28. Keep it N/A or leave it in the past. Some things should be left alone.
