Ditto!

Now, while not exact, it might have been closer than I thought back in 1993.

I've looked and can't find the magazine. I know I have it, but the wife has a bad habit of "cleaning up" my stuff, and then forgets where she puts things.

It is not that big of a deal. I will just summarize it.

The 1993 Camaro Z28 was really impressive for the day, despite the crap slung at the F-bodies in their later years but the same magazines that once praised them. They had their reasons. I believe that the final sentence of the first 4th gen Z28 review that Motor Trend did said something to the effect of "What will Chevrolet bring in the next incarnation of the Camaro? A Hydrogen/28?" Something like that. It always stayed with me and I remembered it again with the the hybrid talk.
