- stronger tranny and upgraded torque converter.
- better gear ratios.
- better suspension.
- touchup for the exterior.
- Thats it!
by this, the Z28 will not be more expensive than the SS but it has the ability to reach or exceed 700 hp safely (either way: turbocharged or supercharged). As for the exterior i don't mined a different style from the SS, I like different trims to be distinguished from the first look. |
A couple of things:
1 Everything on you list is big bucks. So pay more money but only get better handling and the POTENTIAL to upgrade the HP if you want. Why make the people who won't or don't want to upgrade pay for a heavier, more expensive transmission and upgraded forged internals.
Also, curious as to why you say most prefer turbo over super charging. I'd take a supercharger 9 ways to Sunday. Turbo only matters if you want an engine that gets good fuel economy but when you use your right foot you get HP. I would prefer the low end torque of the supercharger.
