Have you driven a V8 model yet Phil? I predict it will REALLY grow on you when you do. The tailpanel width is smaller than I expected, and, the quarters do flair out to accomodate the big rear wheels & tires.

If it runs anything like a ZO-6 I guess I would be quite happy.

A Z06 list is low 70K and the SS is low 30K. I think it's a little unfair to expect the Camaro to perform on par with the Z06.

BTW I really like the new Camaro and it stand tall against the Mustang and Challenger.

Not unfair if GM decides to build a Z/28.

As we all know, that program is dead. GM has far bigger issues to deal with at this time. I question whether there will be a convertible at this point. If you want 500plus hp your best bet is to have a car converted by Nickey or other tuners.

Many at the former GMHP division are engineering hybrid vehicles as mandated by the government. The Z28 and 556hp is a pipe dream at this point.

Exactly what I was thinking. As we all know the SS came back in 1996 as an SLP conversion. The sales numbers soon forced the factory to build them.

Given the 6-7 announced tuner conversion facilities that have announced to date I would think it may be just a bit hasty to count the Z/28 as "dead" (just yet) since with the engineering complete - the offering could be as close as strong manufacturer/converter and an agreed contract with GM to convert cars.

I have no doubt that with factory sponsorship there would be a long waiting list.

"with the engineering complete" Not quite, they never finished testing the rear in terms of durability. The engine is the one used in the CTS-V. I bet they release archived first generation Camaro records/documentation before they build the Z28.

The big A$$ came in handy on this one: http://www.5thgen.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13126

Stefano threw me the keys to his on Friday telling me to take North Ave if I just wanted to go on a scenic tour or Randall Rd if I wanted to stretch her legs. Steve was right, Randall Rd is a nice ride.........

I must say that it has a LOT more power then either the Challenger SRT8 or the Mustang that I drove and was a complete joy to drive. The car was more than I expected and other then some blind spots that you have to get used to it was all in all a very nice tight ride especially for the money. The best part of the drive was when a new Hi-Po Mustang passed me going in the other direction flashing his lights and giving me the thumbs up. That says a lot right there. I would also agree that it looks a lot better in person.
Thanks Steve!

I very much agree...I finally made the time to see one in person this weekend...I thought it looked ok in pics (but couldn't say it was a winner), awesome in the Nickey concept sketches and now can confidently say a winner in person!
