2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Is On Its Way For 2012

If you thought that the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro would not benefit from the use of a LSA or LS9 motor, you've thought wrong. C'mon, you think Chevrolet was going let that go to waste?

According to a Camaro5 forum user, there has been confirmation through a dealer's meeting that there will be a high horsepower Camaro Z28 with a 6.2-liter V8 powerplant. We assume it will be an LSA motor as seen in the CTS-V, which produces 556 horsepower.

Now that the CTS-V has taken on the Audi S6, BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, will the Camaro Z28 be an RS5, M3, upcoming C55/63 competitor?

Camaro5 says:

Here are the confirmed details from the meeting:

2012 Camaro Z28 production begins January 1, 2012
Internally referred to as the "HP Edition" model
6.2L supercharged engine
Magnetic Ride suspension
285F / 330R tires
Hood design to have louvre/slat design seen in spy photos (dealers in attendance were shown a gray Z28 model)
Slight (not major) updates to the interior, with some brighter trimwork

This car really appeals to my kid with whole Transformers thing.
The interior needs the most work.

The power must be huge, I hope it has the new direct injection so it can run 87 octane, I would want one, my dad had a 1967 camero, it had style.
