Question is: refresh, Z/28, or something else?

*Mr. Wyndham* · 03-01-2017, 01:26 PM

No way that's a Z/28, look at the lack of brakes, and those are the V6 1LE wheels.......refresh unlikely...maybe a T4 1LE?

Hmmmm.....

That camera angle is nuts!
I'm guessing the areas that were repaved are adding to the better times. The Huracan, AMG GTR...

Wheels can be simple place holders for something of the same size and weight.

I can't think they'd have such heavy camo on a 4 cyl 1LE

The timing seems off for a refresh. Not that its too soon, 2 model years is long enough for it to happen -especially if sales are a disappointment. Just that seeing it now doesn't quite fit with it being for the 2018 or 2019 model years.

Might be a Z/28, but I don't think it has the right 'goodies' to go along with it, like brakes as you pointed out.

Maybe its a Berlinetta? I mean, there aren't too many things left in Camaro lore that it could be.

I don't believe the degree to which that article stretches for...because... (see below)

...this car has a 5.2L, 635hp engine...and this, in a $350,000 car from an Italian supercar manufacturer...we're not getting 700hp out of a naturally aspirated 5.5L Chevy engine.

Wheels are SS sized.

There's just simply No Way this is a Z/28. Folks are being so hopeful, they beginning to see mirages.

700 hp n/a from a 5.5 V8 is not going to happen. Ford had a hard enough time getting the Voodoo to stay together to make 526 hp. Adding .3 liters won't help the vibration issue and certainly won't rev any higher.

It's got to be the refresh. They built a frame to hold the camo away from the fascia.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 03-02-2017, 07:16 AM

I do believe it is official...and I wanted to share with the HouZe....

I am going to be purchasing a ZL1 1LE.

Likely the MCE. Front and rear fascia for 19 would be about right.

But let's hope it's the Z/28
