Camaro Z28 Shelved
Posted Jul 14, 2008 @ 11:30 pm
With the launch of the 2010 Chevy Camaro quickly approaching, muscle car fans everywhere eagerly awaited details on the Z28 variant. Today they got their wish, but it's likely not the kind of details they were hoping for.
Due to high gas prices and rising CAFE standards, there will be no 2010 Camaro Z28. While it is a disappointing announcement, we can at least be happy that the Z28 name won't be tarnished by a watered-down, castrated version in the name of fuel economy.
Speculation had the Camaro Z28 fitted with GM's new supercharged 6.2 L V8, the same engine that cranks out 500 horses in the CTS-V. With no Z28, the top of the line Camaro will be the SS.
