But will a Z28 model be offered?

Dewar gave a nonanswer: "We have not officially decided to bring back the Camaro Z28 . . . lots of excitement to do it, so stay tuned," he said.

Too bad there was nothing more definitive.

Kinda contradicts this which was posted here too I think:

According to Ed Welburn, GM's vice president for global design, the on-again, off-again Z28 is back in the plan. The modified body is done, according to Welburn. There is still calibration work to be completed on the powertrain, though. We're still looking at about a year's wait before the Z28 would appear.

The basic engine is a 6.2-liter supercharged V8, which sees duty in the Cadillac CTS-V. In that application, the engine makes 556 horsepower and is available with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. There's no reason to assume that the Z28 wouldn't be offered with both transmissions, and only a fool would dial back the power.
