NEWS: Lutz Interview: Camaro began as "pure concept", mum on Z28
Oh, boy...looks like I hit a nerve...ha ha. Come on. You can't say that San Jose is as clean as...say...Palo Alto, Pleasanton, Walnut Creek, Tiburon...please. Come on. San Jose reminds me of Daly City. And I hate Daly City.
(And I have lived in some grimy cities...ha.)

I don't understand people who say " I won't buy a Camaro because it isn't a Z-28"... Sersiouly, had Chev put Z-28 on the SS and still have the exact same car, you'd probably have been all over it, simply because of 3 digits...
Honestly I'm glad they stopped at the SS. It's cheaper and the LS3 has so many bolt on upgrades that it's pointless to cry over. Just an extra 4000$ will give the LS3 roughly 540hp and 530 lb.ft.
The SS already come with 20" wheels, 14" brembo brakes, leather seats... It comes with everything, hell you can even get a hurst short-throw shifter on it! Other than stock 500 hp and the Z-28 badge, what else could you possibly want that the SS won't have???
Anyways, I couldn't care less if you don't buy a Camaro because it isn't a Z-28. The SS will be all that much more unique for me since there won't be as many on the road.

Most of west, south, and north SJ are really nice...downtown looks like most 'downtowns' and even parts of east SJ are beautiful. As mentioned, it does pretty well for having 1 million people.
And i've actually already seen more(2)Challengers than the 1 GT500...this between a million Vettes, brand new looking C5's...C6 Z06's, 911 turbos, Murcielago's, Ford GT's...Vipers...hmmm you name it, must be some real scuzzy millionaires here, think there just visiting, everyday?
You mean like how some people drool over the car no matter how much it weighs, how much history was forgotten, or how well if performs stock vs. stock against the Mustang - simply because Chevy put Camaro on it?
Light weight, SLA front suspension, a car that's faster then an equivilent Mustang...
no....some are late for their psychology counseling session....give it time..chevy will have a Z/28 unless they just want to let mustang run away with the market..with GM and the brain drain going on the latter may be correct
not sure what my car runs yet, i only have about 120miles on this combo and need to tune the carb but should be putting out at least 650HP although i have seen as high as 700+ with similar combos. With the massive drivetrain losses of the C6+ 9in. rear im aiming for 500+RWHP @around 4000lbs. coould be pretty fast (114MPH traps), could be REALLY fast (125?), i honestly dont know yet.
