Don't care much about the looks. The Z28 should be all about the performance. I would like 500+ hp. Perhaps supercharged, magnetic ride suspension from the Corvette and perhaps even beefier Brembo brakes.

Different wheels, Z/28 badges in the grill and on the fenders, as well as between the taillights like the '69. A larger cowl on the hood would be bada$$ too.

cool, a camaro with a charger SRT8 hood!

I just want the SS hood like the 96-97 SS. That is it... Other than those few tidbits... I want a lighter car.

Hmmm....never noticed how similar the scoop looked. I should have noted that I'd like to see a hood with a little bit higher cowl and no scoop. That's the only thing I really don't like on that drawing.

that PHR Camaro looks NICE! I'd like to see the LT1 SS hoodscoop design integrated into that a little more.

The wheels on it are similar to the Z06 wheels.

Keep the cowl so it would look the same from the driver's perspective. The ram air would just be more like the 4th gen SS instead of the wimpy mail slot.

I realize its a difference of opinion but to me the cowl is perfect. The mail slot is ok. I would perfer it be functional. I wouldnt mind if it was filled in. Either way, Im hoping the SS hood doesnt get touched. If the Z28 gets a hood scoop I dont think it would look good but I probably wouldnt be able to buy one anyway. The cowl hood on the 5th gen SS to me is something they nailed.

BTW if you like that scoop and idea, I think its the same as the Transformers two Bumblebee. Id like the shark gills to be functional coolers... maybe to the brakes or rear.

Well to me the scoupe in the front of the cowl hood I dont like, the HSV verticle rectangle holes beneath the grille dont look right to me. too much maybe?



The Bling chrome almost like a solid dinner plate wheels to me remind me of gold teeth




Now what I do like are the Concepts door handles and open working shark gills as rear brake coolers. Or at least the idea of that. I like the Black badge Bowtie with the outline of the Chevy badge. Almost like a Ghost Bowtie. Blacked out grille other than the headlights which I dont think should be blacked out, and of course the Z28/SS stripes
