Someone has spotted what looks to be like the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. We can't see from the front if the Chevy logo is there. But from the rear, we can definitely see the bowtie. It is indeed a Chevrolet vehicle. Luckily, in another sticker-related misstep, someone opened the door and revealed one of the most poorly placed communiques 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 equally good that the Camaro Z28 also will be offered with a six-speed manual. So, in a sense, you can think of the Z28 as the Chevy Awesome.
The tape and cam
o is thwarting our ability to discern all of the styling changes, but we do note a few. The rocker panels might be reshaped, and there’s a new rear fascia with quad pipes sticking out. (The current top-dog Camaro, the SS, sports dual exhaust pipes.) And we bet the mosquito netting up front is hiding some mean-looking grillework. The matte-black rims are wrapped in wide, Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, and there’s some seriously big brake hardware on display.
And while we usually have to make an educated guess as to when prototypes such as this will appear in showrooms, that info also was revealed by the dash sticker. Expect this awesomest of factory Camaros for the 2012 model year. We predict a Detroit auto show reveal in January, and expect sales to commence by the fall of next year.
