So if I'm interpreting your riddle correctly, what you're saying is that since the Camaro figured out the formula for brewing his own mojo, he doesn't mind letting his little brother the Cobalt have some because he knows he needs it more?

NO, its EVEN WORSE. You are making sense to me.

NewbieWar

so what you are saying is SS is to Chevy what SVT is to Ford or SRT is to Dodge,

But Z28 is to Camaro like Z06 is to Corvette?

so Z28 is top dog because it shares parts with the Z06, where as the SS would just share parts with the regular Corvette?

I don't think so. I see it more comparable to Ford's GT and Dodge's R/T.

Close. Super Sport has always meant the top of the line trim package for each Chevy model line in terms of performance and luxury. RPO-Z28 was created so Chevrolet could go road racing.

So which is the “Top Dog” Camaro? It’s not a simple answer actually.

If GM is going to bring the Camaro back and with it the Z28, there are several here that say the new Z28 must be a road racing based version much like the Corvette Z06, including down to the Z06 LS7 power plant. This is what the Z28 was originally, a racecar thinly disguised for the street. I fall into that camp. I want a no nonsense brute of a Camaro for a weekend toy on the street and at the track. It has to be the best handling coupe in the marketplace with enough horsepower and torque to back it up. In all honesty, the 4th gen Z28 was just too vanilla to carry the Z28 name honorably.

However, if the new Z28 is going to just be a sticker package over the SS model, then what is the point? If that is to be the case, then they might as well just kill the name and have only the SS to which buyers can modify on their own to create the car GM should’ve built in the first place.

I however am an optimist and fully expect to see a Z28 within 18-24 months of the Camaro’s reintroduction. I just hope that we learn if the Z28 is a go or no-go shortly thereafter, otherwise I may not be able to wait.

I think what he's doing is making a distinction.

In the past, Z28 has been attributed to "the best Camaro."
SS is more of a corporate icon that denotes "the best ____."

Since both of these terms can be translated as being "the best," it makes more sense to go with the term that is specific to the Camaro only, which is Z28.

The Camaro was one of the cars that helped create the legacy that made the SS moniker what it is, so it makes more sense to assign that badge to "lesser" cars that can benefit from the status associated with it, while keeping the Z28 badge for exclusivity.

OMG, i actually understood that!!!!!! ............




think about it like this, what makes more sense to label the top dog, a name that is associated solely with the Camaro........or..........a name that is associated with the entire Chevy line?


i guess this will get put to rest once we get word on what the launch models will be........COUGH<LT, RS, SS>COUGH

That may be a bit harsh, but I agree with you that I wish the Z28 was more than a base car with a V8 in it and a black roof.

dream '94 Z28

That appearently was one of the hardest choices to make on the 4th gens.

This guy wins a prize! You hit the nail right on the head!



Or atleast this is what Chevy does with the SS name currently.

They should keep it simple, a base V6 & Z28 V8.
