Hi all, my first post, and a little overdue. Got my 2013 CRT ZL1 coupe last August after a lengthy wait. (Killed me as I live about 4 miles from where they are built and watched them drive by for stripes all the time
Anyway, love the forum, and just had a question about the following:

Hmmm... 580hp/4120 lb = 0.1408 ZL1
505hp/3800 lb = .1329 Z28
Just wondering where you got the power to weight ratio information from GM... I have heard the z/28 would be about 3800 lbs.
To match the ZL1, the Z/28 would have to weight about 3590 lbs.
505hp/3590 lb=0.1407 That would be quite a diet
Anyway, can't wait to hear how she really goes. My Z is a blast, but there's no getting around the weight... they are a heavy car, and unless it's pretty hot outside, they can overwhelm the tires pretty easily trying to put the power down. The Z/28 will be a very interesting comparison.
PS for the vette guys: 505hp/3175 lbs= .1591 Z06
.... and for the bike guys my ducati 203hp/407lb = .4988 !!! (Get's worse with my fat backside strapped to it but still...
We are lucky so and so's aren't we.
