According to Edmunds Inside Line's Dan Pund, GM is relighting the fires on the Chevy Camaro Z/28, the supercharged, LSA-powered, 556HP tire-liquefying mega mullet machine. No details yet on timing.

I don't see how this would work...

How in the heck will this monster of a muscle car pass the government?

CAFE or otherwise? they dont have a say other than CAFE... and a limited production such as the z/28 wont affect too much

what ive been waiting for!

just dont release it until 2011- ive got to get married first.

who thinks it will come after the rumored interior face lift in 2011? that would make the most sense.

There are plenty of muscle cars, GT500, CTS-V, ZR-1, G8 GXP... Why is this one different?

The original Z-28 did not have a monster engine nor did it have the highest advertized Camaro H.P. rating. The new Z-28 would, IMO, be better balanced with the Z-06 motor, not the ZR-1. I would prefer a Z-28 that is 200lbs. lighter and better balanced than the current SS.

Woop-de-doo, an EVEN HEAVIER Camaro is coming...

we know nothing about the car, how can you even speculate that? just becaue of the supercharger? it cant add that much weight, and whos to say they cant make it lighter?
