It's About Time - YEA!!!!
Just read in AutoWeek about GM requiring proof of purchase of the new Z-28 Camaro when you get to the parts counter and try to order some of the parts that make it the unique Z-28.
THANKS GM!!!!!!! It's about time. Someone somewhere needs to start purifying the clones / tributes / out right fakes.
I guess in a small transaction while purchasing some fuel injection harness clips for my C7 they asked for everything but my SS. Kool!
Yes it's buyer be aware. If you have ever been to like Barrett-Jackson or Mecom auctions and read the heaps of garbage that is written about the seller's gem makes you wonder. It's a Shakespearian experience.
Hurray for GM.

Yes. This is a smart move for GM. A lot of fakes out there. I actually know some one with a fake Z06 (C6) with WideBody and rims. He actually tells people its a Z06 even though it has an LS2 under the hood.

They tried that with the 1996 Z28/SS when it first came out, even assigned a special build number, never worked after a couple years. The hood was suppose to be protected and only sold with proof of purchase of the SS owner, so hoods where cloned and the policy never enforced by SLP or GM. Hope this works better, as I agree they should be kept pure.....

Dumb.
Who cares is someone wants to spend money to make their Camaro look/perform like a Z-28? GM would have made a bunch of money and people would have been happy to have genuine GM parts.
Now they will just go to aftermarket and GM will lose out.
Are the Obama-Clowns still running this company?

Not on the level of this subject but I’ve always laughed at the posers who drive a clapped out econobox and put some sort of “TURBO” label on a car that never had such an engine. Do they really think that they fool people? Don

Kinda like they thought prohibition was a good way to stop people from making / buying / selling / drinking alcohol... Pretty much stopped nothing, and made OTHER people LOT$ of money.Personally like the ZL1 better.
