The quarter mile times listed were something like 12.3. I hope it makes it to production. Maybe I'll be able to afford one before I'm 60. I'm really anticipating seeing how they turn out. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Yes. I didn't read the entire article, but I did catch that part.

i'd love to see the Z/28 come out. if the rumors are true it will be one of the greatest cars of all time.

A Camaro without a Z28 would be a huge disappointment, in my opinion.

But will most likely be way overpriced though, probably starting in the upper 40's!

The only true years a Z28 was not available in any form or fashion was 1975 and 1976. That was the worst years for cars
that I personally can remember. Who would want a Z28 that is all show and no go. That was the mid to late 70's. All show and no go.

We're a Z28 family. My brother had a '69 Z28. I had an '85 IROC, and then my '94. The '85 was a beautiful piece of junk.

A Z28 would be a nice addition to the Generation 5 line-up...

I can't believe I missed this thread! Great pictures!

I think it's funny that so many of the Camaro5 guys think they might be for production.

Let's just be clear: they're not. Cars built before March 16th will not be sold through regular means. A limited number of them might be auctioned off, but I would guess that most of those cars are destined for EPA testing, crash testing, final validation testing, etc. They're also great practice for the people that work on the line.
