We don’t care who you are; everyone has to love the Camaro Z28. This gorgeous piece of machinery looks and sounds like a dream and now Chevrolet has gone and made it even better. How much better, we don’t know yet, but luckily we have the artistic abilities of Jon Sibal on every car lover’s side. Sibal has prepared a rendering of the muscle car classic using all of the rumored characteristics the 2012 Camaro will most likely receive. Thanks to him, we are all getting a piece of drool-worthy treasure to gaze at.
The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 will feature a 6.2L LSA V8 engine, even though the Corvette ZR1’s 638 hp LS9 was cruising around the rumor mill for awhile. The awesome news regarding the new Camaro’s engine is that it will more than likely feature more than the 556hp found in the Cadillac CTS-V. Stooping power will come from the 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers.
New details of the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 have surfaced recently as the hardcore version has been spotted again doing test runs. The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is expected to hide under its Transformers skin a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 monster that will spit out around 550 hp. Some rumors say the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 could get even more extreme by having the same LS9 engine from the Corvette ZR1 which is good for 638 hp. The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is expected to offer a below 4 seconds acceleration time to 60 mph and a limited top speed of around 155 mph.
Luckily, in another sticker-related misstep, someone opened the door and revealed one of the most poorly placed communiqués we’ve ever seen: a tag on the dash that confirms that this is a Camaro Z28—a vehicle often rumored but not officially announced. Even better, the sticker reveals that this mule is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 backed up by a six-speed automatic transmission. Chances are very good that this is the Cadillac CTS-V’s LSA powerplant, which is rated there for 556 hp and 551 lb-ft of torque, as opposed to the higher-powered LS9 V-8 from the Corvette ZR1.
