I'll probably be watching live. There's been a lot of hype internally here at GM. I have to admit though, I do not understand why we (GM) decided to unveil the car "unofficially" on a daytime talk show after all the hype about unveiling the car live today at 12:45pm? Especially after seeing the pictures above - there's been a lot of backlash about the taillights and the hood vent. And as much as it pains me to say it, I really don't like those two aspects either. I love the new bumper - looks mean and lean, but the hood vent in the middle of the cowl just looks out of place and the taillights are too Charger for my taste. I feel bad because I believe one of the taillight designers is on MiFBody and he said he's trying not to take the taillight backlash personally...

I see it looks evenmore like a 1994 Z34 Lumina now. :|

That's a beautiful car! 6-speed manual, V-8 that produces at least 500 hp and 470 lb. ft. of torque. I'll take 2 please! :drool:

[Badbird_96]

Specs are awesome but omg its hideous. The rear is awful. The only part that looks good is the exhaust tips. Even the nose looks wonky and i know lets redesign the hood, thats not in the budget stick a vent in it the consumers wont notice. Although i just found the z28 badges im doing if i dont ss clone my car. Wonder if the earlier parts still fit? Make a 2010 sleeper out of it.

[Ashley]

I agree, when Jesse showed me, I said "no" HP, yes... I just don't like how it looks, if I could I'd fit the different body style in it. :o

[Chris]

I like it looks like a 240 had sex with a camaro and a irs engine swapped baby emerged

It kinda looks like a Prelude from the rear.

[rdx]

I like it, the tail lights don't look as good as the previous ones but they look cool too

[CamaroZGuy]

i love the look of the new Z28! but the front splitter could have been desigined a bit better.

[Mrs 96LT1355Z28]

LOL! I used to have a prelude and that was the first thing I thought too.

[Featherburner]

I like a lot more than the 10-13. They finally got the tail lights right. They harken back to 69 tail lights and look great. The thing I could do without is the front bumper splitter. It looks cumbersome.

[Madman337]

Regardless of weather you love it or hate it its a Z/28 and thats just plain cool!
Now where the hell is the Trans Am GM?

[DMBlack]

I actually like the taillights much more than the earlier models. Overall I like the new Z28.

[Ashley]

Now where the hell is the Trans Am GM?

that's exactly what I said!!!

[Featherburner]

that's exactly what I said!!!It's coming 2015. Just wait for it. lol!

[InsaneSpeed]

The taillights make the rear look like an updated 05-06 RSX

I kinda like the Z/28 rear, the SS looks like crap. The Z28 front is amazing but the SS is just different enough to make me hate it.

And 1 friggin speaker..come on.

While I can see why everyone says it looks like a prelude, it was actually designed based off of a 1969 Camaro...

If anything, the Prelude ripped off the 1st gen Camaro...

[Madman337]

I agree, if the import car companys ever had an original thought it died a very lonely death a long time ago.....................

[popo8]

I keep watching the unveiling video and I like it more and more eveytime.

I think the video does more justice than the still pics... it looks wider...sleeker.....and I like the LS7 in it!


Remember, its not a 69 camaro, although the retro idea is there... if you want a 69.... buy a 69.

This is a 2014.

[InsaneSpeed]

After staring at all angles of the Z/28, and after initially hating it...I now would like to make sweet love to that ass...for a free Z/28 of course.



Yes, I'm demented.

Come on GM...

[firebird_1995]

Maybe the acura RSX is a Chevy celebrity clone........ think about it, lot of similarities

[Jason_C]

Well my beef is that they wanted "retro" with the new Camaro. And 69 was the style they said they based it on. It looked nothing like a 69... IMHO Ford and Mopar did a far better job at the "retro" look then GM did. I'll admit that i didn't like the 4th gens when they first came out. They grew on me after awhile. But with 4th gens they where never ment to look like a older Camaro/Firebird. As to where the new Camaro was supposed to.

I'll take a 2 door geo tracker with a rod knock any day over this pile.

[Paulster2]

I just read in this (http://www.mlive.com/auto/index.ssf/2013/04/2014_chevy_camaro_z28_howd_it.html) that GM North American President Mark Reuss said that the Z/28 would be the most expensive model available, but didn't give an exact price tag ... I guess my "speculation" was in the weeds.

As for the car itself, I like it bunches. I have no issue with the rearend ... don't think I'd have sex with it, though.

[meissen]

It is a little bit of a bummer on the price, but there's a lot of expensive equipment on the car. There's only one other car in the world with the same shock suspension that the Z/28 has and that car is priced at 1.5 million dollars.

[fullforce]

The look of the car is great, excpet for the fact that its midlife crisis moms 1st choice and thats about 95% of what drives them around here.
The engine has never been better
But DAMN.... WHy are they so BIG?? I parked my Formula next to one at the shop the other day and it looked like a freakin 72 chevelle sitting next to my car. I dont think it deserves a Fbody status due to its obnoxiously large size of a sports car.

im just really talking about the 5th gen in general not the 2014, im sure its still 99% the same car as the last year model

Anyways I just had to say that.

[meissen]

Unfortunately that's just the way all cars are these days. All cars are bigger, higher belt line, etc. When I compare my 5th gen to my 4th gen it's disgustingly huge, but then again it doesn't feel big when I'm driving the 5th gen in traffic. And then again when I drive my 4th gen I feel absolutely dwarfed in traffic.

[JCzNova]

I guess the 2014 Corvette thread has moved...
