one more little thing
















this is the best thread yet since the unveiling

I just want an Z06-like version of the Camaro... no matter what you call it.

91Z28350

And I think everyone, no matter their preference on the designation, can get behind that wish!

although i do completely agree................





rational thinking like that has no place in this thread















now back to more important matters:

regardless of wether the Berlinetta or LT becomes top dog, what should be the top engine: supercharged ecotech or turbocharged ecotech????????

HOTCIVIC

I vote for a turbo ecotec hybrid in the SS Camaro, and I vote they use the Z28 option on the top of the line HHR performance model. They should also have a V6 with a 150 shot of nawz as the top performing model, with a single exhaust outlet coming out of the left rear.

quite good points indeed.


now, how high should the wing be on the top model: 6,8, or 13 inches??????

HOTCIVIC

I think the wing should be high enough that you can hang a swing from it.

Z28SS MAN

It's obvious that I'm Ok with either as my username plainly states. lol

Very good and bad points on the topic from both sides.

I grew up in the era where it all started. Back then, we would get excited when the new model year would arrive. We couldn't wait to see the cosmetic changes & powertrains the new model year would bring. Now they all basically look the same from year to year. For example, other than wheels, park a '98 Camaro beside an '02 and tell me which is which.

My sister dated her future husband who had a '63 Impala SS 327-300 hp and traded it in on a brand new '65 SS-396 Impala 4-speed red on red. It was the first 4-speed I'd ever ridden in. Then, my other friends had the Impalas with the 283 & powerglide. As a pre-teen, I was embarassed and wondered why Chev even bothered.

As far as the Z-28, I can only remember seeing one (1) '67. There were plenty '69 Z's running around and were admired by just about everybody. They were considered a hi-revving, noisey lifter, crazy handling & mysterious car. If you caught one out on the road, you had better hope the road was straight, otherwise you'd get your feelings hurt. 290 hp...yeah right. lol

The L-79's & L-78's were quicker...depending on driver. I saw plenty L-78 Novas and Chevelles but don't remember seeing them in Camaros. You could buy a stripper L-78 Nova SS for $2,800.

As far as the LS6 Chevelles running low 13's? It really depended on driver too. I saw a new one run 15's at a dragstrip. Of course, he was smoking the F-70's halfway down the track. Put F-70x14 bias-ply tires on the LS1 Camaros and see what kind of times they'd run. Remember, the LS6 Chevelle had 500 lf-lb torque...not a good package for F70 tires.

I bought my SS just to have a more exclusive car...not to smirk at the Z-28 owners. I know where the car's origin comes from. Of course, I don't see SS owners taking the badges off and putting on Z-28 emblems, but I do see Z-28 guys try and turn their Z's into SS's. I consider my car a Z-28 with the SS option package. I mainly get criticized by the SS guys for doing so.
