Notice that there is no mention of the Z28 yet. Last I heard there were going to be 3 engines available which would be the v6, SS base v8 and Z28 option v8. I'm guessing, but I bet they wait and release the Z28 later on with 500-550 hp. They want to get some of the lower performance versions on the road first. That's my guess.

Its official the legendary Supersnake has a new home!!!!!! I wish I had the dough to buy it. Wagon went back to Jim Cunningham who maintained it all those years for the second owner it went to a great home Jim will take very good care of it.

ZR-1 will be the worlds best supercar for any price IMHO. But I can't stick my kids in the Vette to take them and their friends out for ice cream or a ride. I think your talking about apples and oranges comparing the Mustang to the Vette. One is a muscle car the other a world class sports car I think? All I said was that Ford is winning this era's Muscle car wars. I fully agree Chevy's ZR-1 will be the the Sports car HP champ unless Dodge bumps up the HP on the Viper?

Why don't you explain why Chevy put a 422 HP motor in what may be the best looking car ever to come out of Detroit? You have all the Chevy factory insider information what the heck happened to Lutz he lose his nutz?

You were the one comparing the Mustang to the Vette. I'm glad Jim got the wagon. I feel better now.

Back to the Camaro......... Slots in front of the rear wheels and 4 little rectangular gauges on the console do not make a retro Camaro! The rest of the car looks like a fat Cadillac.
1. The car was designed by a committee, not by stylists
2. They've been asleep too long and forgotten that their JOB is to build cars that people want to buy.
3. They need a new perk; a fixture in their executive bathrooms to give their brains an enema.
4. They've been acting this way for soooo long that they deserve to go under.

OK, I've vented........

Throw the wraps back on. Like I've said before; they missed it!

Thats exactly how I felt until I saw both the coupe and CV in person at SEMA last year. Incredible in person. Pictures just don't do them justice in my opinion. I am buying one if the HP hits 500
