Not that excited myself, but it is fun to speculate. Besides, gotta have some excitement to talk about, you dont want the Camaro brand becoming stagnant do you? Haha.

I think the very end on the ZL1 1LE video GM just did is your logo.

ZL1LE

Or it may will b a double stacked "1"

Essentially a GT3 with a manual trans AND NO LARGE WING. Why couldnt GM steal a page from the Porsche book and make a 6th Gen Z/28 as a "special/limited edition"? Im not sure what engine they'd decide to run etc.....also, it appears in the video that the wing was simply removed as the holes were covered with tape. Also, the large white I.D. tag was covered on the drivers rear quarter panel.... I think people started getting wise to the numbers that were on the ZL1 1LE.

Possibly, but the 911 R is just meant to be a good driving car. The Z/28 is a track car. They could just as easily be testing it without the aero.

Maybe, maybe not. If there is no Z, then we have to wait until 7th gen rumors start showing up and that doesn't sound like much fun.

SS 1LE is that car. There is no place in the line for another car. The ZL1 1LE was likely going to be branded a Z/28 until fan boy out cry scared them off of that name since they were going with the LT4 engine.

That was decided back in 2011, when the LSA Z/28 was renamed to ZL1. I doubt they went through that process again.

The part I find interesting is these grilles are popping up now, almost 1.5 years after the ZL1 1LE started testing.

I still think we will see a Z/28 in this gen car, and i hope its in one years time if not less.

Yea you need to make room for it next to the other Z/28's and ZL1 1LE

Thanks.

I would think that the Z/28 will probably start where the ZL1 1LE leaves off by using the same suspension setup and aero but with a new high powered na V8 and possibly carbon wheels/ brakes to also cut unpsrung weight to keep lap times close to the supercharged car or maybe it will even be faster. Anything is possible at this stage.

Fifth Gen Z28 came after the refresh, I wouldn't be surprised if same thing happens now.

Hard to imagine there won't be a gen 6Z, but can't figure where it fits. If it does go big carbon, it's going to be north of 80k, maybe a track only like the COPO?

IMO it will come with a 4 valve per and 2 cams per head, its the only way to take/keep the power up and still get close to the MPG needed, or they start an off site road course COPO program, we need a car that can pull to 8,000 RPM with out braking a sweat.

That would be what they're doing with the GT4.R.

I'm a GM guy to the bitter end, but it's the same old song with them every time- evolution V revolution. Vette engines put in to in Camaro's, been doin it for 50 years. The ZL1/1LE was easy for them, and it shows aesthetically IMO. Gonna be hard for the brass to OK any bold Z after the 5 debacle, especially with the big sales dog Zora on deck. Yes, they have made one every gen, anyone remember the fourth gen Z/28? All JMHO
