Camaro Z28 Clone Free Zone - A Great Idea from GM.

http://www.camaronews.com/camaro-new...s-restriction/

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">GM has just announced, in an effort to prevent Z/28 cloning, approx 40 specific Z/28 parts will be restricted:

With the launch of the new Camaro Z/28, approximately 40 different Z/28 specific parts will be placed on restriction. This action is being taken to protect the vehicle’s brand and customer’s investment by preventing the “cloning” of the Z/28.

Dealers will be required to obtain specific vehicle &amp; owner information before any parts order request can begin.

Part orders for the restricted parts will be monitored and reported to the Camaro Program Team, GM Regional Warranty Managers and appropriate Field personnel.

Z/28 parts replaced for warranty, will be requested back through the parts return process, for analysis.</div></div>

This is similar to what Pontiac did in 1973 when the Super Duty 455 engine came out. All of a sudden there were hundreds of orders for the unique SD455 forged steel, connecting rods. Pontiac cancelled the orders and then issued an edict stating that any dealer placing an order for the rods had to include the car's VIN and further restricted it by limiting the order to only four connecting rods.

Camaro has it all wrong, I hate to say this but they put stripes on the SS but not on the Z28? Is there a stripes package for the Z?

Pretty sure it performs awesome but what a Fugly (Short term for Funny and Ugly) looking car.
IMO

No stripes as of now. You would think for $75K you could get a factory option since the car is a tribute to the original Z/28....a car that was known for two (kind of) trademark Rally's??

IMO...the only stripes that really looked right on the 5th gen anyway were the 2010 Berger editions-full length and painted on.

not a fan of this recent fad, black wheels

[Fast67VelleN2O]

Am I the only one that thinks this is a completely dumb idea? Now the kids and customers who can't afford a real Z28 now can't even clone or tribute their Camaro into one? Stupid. Now with VIN's telling you what the car originally was, there is no way to forge a Z/28 and trick an unsuspecting buyer. Now you have to be rich to afford one of these. Us regular guys can't afford one nor can we even clone one if we even wanted to.

The black one has the wrong grille emblem.

Is that the Marriam Webster / Politically correct definition, because that's not the meaning we associate with Fugly?

The real meaning is more nasty anyways and I am just trying to be a bit more polite. Fugly really means F#$%ING Ugly. Which really was my first thought about the new Camaro when it came out a few years back. Sorry I am not a fan of this generation Camaro.
