Therefore, until a new Z28 is confirmed, renderings such as these, created by member of Camaro5 forums going by name of the Jinx, will have to suffice. They reveal a possible look for a new-generation Z28, depicting a much more aggressive looking coupe than the standard Camaro. Key differences include a unique bodykit that gives it a hunkered down appearance as well as a number of aggressive styling features such as the custom bonnet bulge and 20in mesh-pattern wheels.
Under the hood, the designer envisions GM's LSA supercharged engine as the favored powerplant. Currently found in the Cadillac CTS-V, the 550hp (410kW) 6.2L supercharged V8 engine would certainly be a fitting successor to the previous generation Camaro Z28, which was discontinued in 2002.
With a fully independent suspension and stability control, as well as a completely modern chassis based on the Zeta RWD architecture, a Z28 based on the new Camaro could be the first model of the legendary muscle cars to outgun rival sports cars from Japan and Europe. That is if GM actually builds one.
For now, performance fans can look forward to the 425hp (313kW) Camaro SS, which you can see all the specs for in our previous story.

I thought the Z28 was canned because of emissions, though they could make one with a better suspension the way the old Z28 was, a car focused for road handling.
