I spotted a car hauler FULL OF 2010 CAMAROS!!!!!!!

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.
