Sven59, is this a quote from someone in the know, GM media release, or your opinion?
Man, this post is way beyond off topic. According to this idea the topic should not exist at all!
One would hope the Z/28 could withstand a few hard launches.
The Z/28 front sway bar might be thicker than both the ZL1 and the beefier 1LE bar. This is good for lots of spinning at the lights, not hooking. So I would say the drive train is pretty safe. The tires are grippy I am sure, but not as tied down as drag radials.
This is why I will stick to my story of the Z/28 running low 12s and not 11s, and this with good air and track prep.
But I bet the Chevy insiders already know.
I have been two for two with the Z/28 so far:
1. I was very early calling for the then Z/28 to be called the ZL1. The ZL1 was the legendary Camaro top dog and the Z/28 while also a legend, was muddied with later versions and was never top dog. Chevy is positioning the Z/28 as the top track dog, as it should be. Probably even more focused than the original. Interesting now that the Z/28 will be the rarer car I think.
2. I knew and posted that the LS7 Z/28 was coming long before the announcement. This was very easy to figure out right here on these forums.
Will I be three for three with low 12s or
?
And I apologize for generalizing about road track focused people. I have only met a few. From what several of you have posted I stand corrected about ALL track focused enthusiasts looking down on drag racing. However just like Camaro V8 owners slamming V6 owners the impression might be common, just not universal. Kudos to those not judging! Respect. And here I am judging.
