Ride Height

Couldn't agree more. I find it surprising that GM would take this new model (or option) to a major auto show at that ride height understanding it would bring criticism from enthusiasts.

Not sure where the 500 came from, but as I understand, the LS7 engines are already made and the Wixom operation is now shut down, so the potential # of Z28's (2014 + 2015(?)) should be known.

Try an aftermarket solution like the Sprint Booster which remaps the gas pedal to throttle position curve. Something like a poor man's sport mode.

Also, LS3 is definitely stronger > 3k rpm.

Back up camera

Not that its a big deal but counter to the effort to strip out all unnecessary equipment in the Z28 won't GM be required to have a backup camera in all 2014 models?

LS7

Aside from the tri-Y exhaust manifolds, is the LS7 in the Z28 any different than the LS7 that's been around for several years on the Z06?
