yeah....b/c those were bolted on to cars that didn't have but a fraction of the performance this car has. RICER

When you have a real track car, you can use real wings. NOT RICER.

WTH was GM thinking?!?!?! Functional or not, good God it makes the car ugly.

Look at those air ducts...do you really think GM mostly cares about looks of this car? Nope....its performance.

Besides, if the wing is retractable like some are thinking it could be, that solves the problem.

This is exactly what I was thinking. There are a million other options they could come up with...

LesBaer · 05-10-2016, 12:46 PM

It's going to look way better with all the camo ripped off. While I'd love this car, it's also overkill for me. I can't even redline my currently modded gen 6 in 4th gear so I think I'm all set for a while lol. The wing and aero stuff aren't for everyone, but that's why they make more than one Camaro. This car isn't about looking pretty. It's about kicking ass and not bothering to remember any names!

The more I look at that spoiler, the more it reminds me of a Klingon warbird or what ever they call it. lol

N/A 550-hp, and fast enough to make a new GT350R owner cry, my predictions.

What are the options that would create the same amount of downforce since this is clearly what the intent of this car is.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 05-10-2016, 12:51 PM

If it has the LT4 look for track times to be sub 7:30 and if what was said by Al for the last gen look for close to or under 7:20

The rear meats look huge. Like a mini tub to fit them. Killer running gear! I say steam rollers.

I definitely think you guys are right about the wing being able to go down against the decklid and 1/4 panels. That's pretty damn sweet.

More like 315/30 front and 345/25 rear!!!

RLHMARINES · 05-10-2016, 01:02 PM

305-30-19 fronts and 325-30-19 rears is the setup.

Bobfly · 05-10-2016, 01:04 PM

Well, I don't think they're going for times because there's 2 guys in the car and neither are wearing helmets. Bitchin' lookin' Camaro though. All business...

I agree with the second part,

I still say its going to use the LT4 and if it doesn't it might just be a hot LT1, and I doubt they could squeeze an extra 100 HP out of it while meeting emissions/reliability standards.

IN recent years, the only thing to ever get a unique V-8 was the ZR1 Corvette, everything else was shared between Corvette, Camaro and Cadillac. I just don't see the Z/28 getting its own unique engine based on GM past history

Engine will be a new displacement, 6.5L for a nice even 396 CI. LT7 option code.
