I feel like they should make the current SS the Z28 and then make that one the SS. It always seemed like the SS was much more special than the Z28. ITS ALL BACKWARDS NOW!! GAHHHH

Instead of having an ss1 and and ss2, they should make the ss1 a Z28.

Well the Mustang has the Shelby GT500 which is supercharged and puts out 540hp. And as far as the pricing the article said that they think they can price it far enough away from the Corvette. So if they want it to be competitively priced with the Shelby it will have to be in the $45k-50k range because the Shelby's base MSRP is about $46k.

The Z28 will be the top dog like it was back in the old days so it couldnt be the 1SS package. Also from what I have heard the Mustang will be coming out with basically the same power as the Camaro next year.

Exactly. SS was never the top dog. They switched around for what ever reason idk. Was that in 93? Trips me. But I feel the z28 should be the top dog bc the z28 was considered the "road king". Hopefully as ford does every year saying how they are goin to give the mustang more power, I hope they fail and make it underpowered as usual!

its not backwards. the 4th gens were backwards technically.

well, in 93, when the 4th gens were released for production, the Fbody was already on the chopping block due to continuous poor sales. when they made the 4th gens, GM had no plans to make 3 models. they made the base model v6 and a top model Z28. then in '96, SLP started modding Z28's from GM and rebadging them as Z28/SS's. GM jumped on the bandwagon and introduced a "new" model as the SS.


as for the motortrend article.... it is a little old. and its all based on speculation. the picture itself is a rendering. not a real picture.

however, they are mostly right as far as the engine speculation. right now, all points are leading to an LSA powered Z28 with a track pack.

2010 supercharged Camaro

Just watched a show on TV about the 2010 Camaro.
It showed a supercharged model SS ZL575 which will have a base price of 57,995.
The motor which seems like a detuned verision of the 6.2L supercharged vette and is rated at 575 hp.
They ran it in the 1/4 and it turned 11.8 @ 121 mph. It had street tires on it and they left pretty soft. They also shifted like my grandmother.
In the hands of some of us racers and with some drag radials high 10s are very possible.
