As General Motors continues to survive on taxpayer’s bailout money, it must be very careful on how and where it spends cash. That includes how the automaker spends money on future products already in the pipeline. According to Motor Trend, the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is already done; however, GM has put the Z/28 on hold since it ran out of money to launch the car. The General has to be very careful where it spends its taxpayer bailout money since a car like the Camaro Z/28, which is expected to return a fuel economy of 13/19 mpg, will most probably be looked down upon during the company’s current financial situation (aka pissing off taxpayers around the nation).



Under the hood of the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 will be the same 6.2L LSA V8 supercharged engine from the Cadillac CTS-V. It will produce a neck-snapping 556-hp with a peak torque of 551 lb-ft. The Z/28 will also share the 6-speed manual and automatic transmission with the Cadillac CTS-V. 0 to 60 mph is expected come in at 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph for the manual version. While all that makes us muscle car fans drool, General Motors will have to stick to building fuel-sippers like the Chevrolet Cruze and the Chevrolet Volt for now. Let’s just hope by the time GM can make the Z/28, the market will still be willing to buy it.

 

I want one!

 

Looks cool, but won't this compete with the Corvette?

 

It won't compete with the ZR1 if thats the question. This car is hundreds of pounds heavier and will never handle nearly as well. Also it won't have enough rubber to put that power down to the ground efficiently like the vette.

 

Plus itll never happen they just asked the government for more help doubt itll even see the light of day

 

The problem is, back in the day that car was built for young drivers. Even in the early 90's when they re-did it, it was priced & marketed wrong. This car would have the same problem, unless you have a mullet & a lot of cash.

 

Check and check!!!

That's really cool! I saw a different (and slightly less wild) version of this car at SEMA that had an LS7 in it iirc.

 

Man I'd jump of that car. When I grew up my dad had a 67 vette, and a 67 shelby - not really into the new domestics but this looked nice. I guess I don't qualify without the mullet though!

 

I'm all over it. Shake 'n Bake! Did you see that? That just happened!

 

Cobra killer. I hope they make it and with a tune/exhaust intake/and pulley man...on stickies it will be deadly!
