Don't be disappointed just yet. The only thing we have heard is that there will not be a Z28 at the beginning of production. Certain members of the board have hinted that how can a program be dead if it's never actually been talked about.
What is the opposite of dead....

I hear you, but Ford could afford to wait, because they were the first to the party... Today there are plenty of choices...GT500, Z06, Challenger SRT (kind of), and the Nissan GTR...
It's stupid to wait when the market is here now. And as time goes by, and gas prices go up, I feel the chances are less.
And time's a wastin'...I don't have another two years to wait. I already waited this long.

I think it's an absolute slap in the face not to say that this car was created taking cues from the 60's cars and then saying you wanted to bring back the " Bad ***" feeling of that generation, then you leave out the most popular model in the history of camaro in the z/28. Good job GM!!!

I'm certainly no engineer, but I too would LOVE to know what the cost of things like the magnesium engine cradle, aluminum suspension pieces, etc. would add up to and how much weight would be saved. Putting together a package like this for the Z28, in this day and age, is the only logical step for the ultimate Camaro. I wouldn't get too far into things like removing sound deadening materials or premium stereos unless necessary. I think the point would be to give the big dollar buyers the best all-around performing car without removing stuff they'd easily notice.

I for one, am glad that the Z/28 may be refocused. If I'm not interested in a 39xx lbs SS, I'm definitely not interested in a 41xx lbs Z/28.
I'm hoping that someone had a "come to Jesus" meeting on this.....
