GM Design Chief Ed Welburn confirms to us at the Frankfurt Show, the Camaro Z28 program back on track. As we reported in April, the Z28 is basically completed, signed off with the design, but the final design and certification work has been put on ice, brought the financial position of GM spun out of control.
With GM now in bankruptcy, the program began Z28. Why? Insiders say that the business case Z28 now makes sense because the new UAW contracts reduced labor costs have the car to the point where he thinks GM better prices – and far enough from the Corvette. That’s the good news. The bad news is EPA certification requirements for durability and GM, the Z28 unlikely that go on sale until the end of 2011.
