5thgen69camaro 08-29-2008, 01:44 PM before I ask the chance I can afford one will be remote. There has been rumor that Bumblebee 2 in the second pic down was a glimpse at Z28. I really would perfer the cowl to that scoupe. I do like the black bowtie badge with the light bowtie outline. Somewhat like the old chevy badge with the red outline bowtie. I like the return of the vents. Oh and for a Z/28 I think the concepts door handles could be a cool touch. What would you like in a Z/28 visuallly?

Z284ever 08-29-2008, 01:48 PM IF a Z/28 materializes, expect a new front and rear fascia, different hood, different wheels, and perhaps more agressive rocker panels.

can you elaborate on that? I expect it to be different, I just dont know how...
Z284ever 08-29-2008, 01:55 PM can you elaborate on that? I expect it to be different, I just dont know how...
No, not really. Not that I'm trying to be cryptic, I don't know much more than that.
5thgen69camaro 08-29-2008, 02:02 PM No, not really. Not that I'm trying to be cryptic, I don't know much more than that.
Just for fun Charlie, is there anything you would like to see make it to the Z/28 visually that would distinguish it?
jg95z28 08-29-2008, 03:20 PM As I understood it, Bumblebee 2 is more likely to be a Saleen Kit than a GM product.
That said, other than Z28 stripes & badges I could care less what other VISUAL things it would include to distinguish it from the SS, however I wouldn't necessarily be against a NASCAR style rear wing. :p
SSCamaro99_3 08-29-2008, 03:40 PM I like that car except for the wheels. They suck.
supr_bikr_99 08-29-2008, 04:04 PM I'd like to see a more aggressive front and rear end. I love the look of the Popular Hotrodding illustration from a few years ago. I'd like that chin spoiler to be black though. 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.

Very nice.
STOCK1SC 08-29-2008, 04:11 PM Those wheels on the car at the top of this thread suck ass! It looks like a matchbox toy.
YoungCompton 08-29-2008, 04:27 PM i like this pic alot (take away the headlights) though i know it wont be the z28 :(

I'm in love with that pic. :eek: If a Z28 came out like that, it would have to be mine. I don't care if it had 350 HP or 550 HP. :cool:
HOTCIVIC 08-29-2008, 04:39 PM BTW - that hood on the Popular Hot Rodding drawing is THE hood that should be on the new Camaro. Much better than the mail slot. :)
FiefSS 08-29-2008, 09:40 PM Bigger front spoiler thingy, more pronounced. Functional rear brake scoops, ducktail spoiler. Lighter Z/28 specific wheels. Maybe a specific color option and interior color option. Red dash accents for instance. If a Z/28 did not materialize these would mostly end up on my car anyway..... :)
gr8fl red! 08-29-2008, 09:42 PM functional hood scoop and HUGGER ORANGE !@!@

Pruettfan 08-30-2008, 01:17 AM 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.

You mean ruin the cowl on the SS??? :no:

cool, a camaro with a charger SRT8 hood!
rasputin 08-30-2008, 03:41 PM CENTER STACK EXHAUST!!!!
(like a viper)
Highlander 08-30-2008, 06:50 PM I just want the SS hood like the 96-97 SS. That is it... Other than those few tidbits... I want a lighter car.
supr_bikr_99 08-31-2008, 02:24 AM cool, a camaro with a charger SRT8 hood!
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.
AdioSS 08-31-2008, 01:20 PM 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.
HOTCIVIC 08-31-2008, 01:53 PM You mean ruin the cowl on the SS??? :no:
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. :o

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.

yellow_99_gt 08-31-2008, 10:27 PM I want the grille from the PHR car.
The_Bishop 08-31-2008, 11:22 PM something about BumbleBee II that just doesnt look right.
Yeah, those godawful wheels.
5thgen69camaro 09-01-2008, 12:18 AM something about BumbleBee II that just doesnt look right.
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
http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/transformers_2_bumblebee_ss_image003.jpg
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 :)
