Arrow Chevrolet Camaro is done, but on hold

Chevy Camaro Z/28 is done, but on hold
omarrana submitted on 2/17/2009 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 3:55:17 PM



As General Motors continues to survive on taxpayer’s bailout money, it must be very careful on how and where it spends cash. That includes how the automaker spends money on future products already in the pipeline. According to Motor Trend, the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is already done; however, GM has put the Z/28 on hold since it ran out of money to launch the car.

The General has to be very careful where it spends its taxpayer bailout money since a car like the Camaro Z/28, which is expected to return a fuel economy of 13/19 mpg, will most probably be looked down upon during the company’s current financial situation (aka pissing off taxpayers around the nation).

Under the hood of the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 will be the same 6.2L LSA V8 supercharged engine from the Cadillac CTS-V. It will produce a neck-snapping 556-hp with a peak torque of 551 lb-ft. The Z/28 will also share the 6-speed manual and automatic transmission with the Cadillac CTS-V. 0 to 60 mph is expected come in at 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph for the manual version.

While all that makes us muscle car fans drool, General Motors will have to stick to building fuel-sippers like the Chevrolet Cruze and the Chevrolet Volt for now. Let’s just hope by the time GM can make the Z/28, the market will still be willing to buy it.

and what did your seller tell you? are you still going to get it in time? if this report is true, is there a chance you may never see your car delivered to you (especially if GM goes under)?

starts at $30,000 for completely base and ~$48,000 for a fully loaded SS. All the first shipments for the few months have been preordered years ago at most dealers

Are you sure you're getting it? That car has been delayed for ages, and I have not seen any confirmed dates for shipments on them.

They are delaying the Z/28, not the regular Camaro.
