Default Re: 2011 CAMARO Z/28 - - - 556HP

I think it's great that we're going to be getting the Z28 back but, in my opinion, GM has the packaging of the new Camaro backwards.
Shouldn't the Z28 be the lightweight, hi-revving road racer type car and the mega-horsepower street fighter be badged the SS? As it stands right now it would seem that the bad boy street fighter will be the Z28 and the car more in line with the older Z28 would be the SS (or even the base Camaro).
Not complaining here, just an observation.

Or when the Gov't takes control of yet ANOTHER thing they know nothing about. What's next from Gov't Motors, a Camaro R/T, or maybe a Shelby Edition!

At least Stefano and the boys get it right!

I'll assume that many of you have looked at the misc parts, pieces, engines that www.mastmotorsports.com is offering for the LS platform ............

If money is no object.......looks like horsepower is on tap.

I agree completely. The high horsepower top of the line, fully optioned Camaro should be the SS. The Z28 should be a stripped version, as lightweight as possible, with few options, and performance the top priority. The price should be less than an SS also.
