"What is 'right' as a Z/28", should be the question.
Whether we like it or not, the BOSS is the benchmark.
Take a 1SS...cloth (standard-grippier seats)...lightest that exists. Deletes will save a few pounds, but sadly will ADD COST. Minimized sound deadener. Seam sealer plays well north of the Mason-Dixon. Thin glass? Not really. Can the console be deleted, and the necessary hardware re-routed? What about an RPO for Rear Seat/Belts/Bags Delete as a separate option?
ZL1 Forged Wheels/Tires (or perhaps a Z/28-specific tire like the new Michelin Pilot Super Sports?)
ZL1 Brakes/ABS/StabiliTrak/TC
Revised Springs/Bars/Bushings...as required (Pete, do you need a PO?)
Wet-sump LS7 with ZL1 Tremec
ZL1 Splitter/Spoiler Pkg. ONLY
Z/28-specific Headrests/Mats ONLY
Z/28-specific Badges/Graphics (graphics deleteable @ n/c)
Z/28 Rear 1/4 Vents ala "Leno" - non-functional, but "someone" will have a kit...
NO "trick" hood/ground effects/geegaws...
ZL1 HD Driveline pieces (diff/axles etc.)
In this raging debate over LS7 vs. enhanced LS3, two distinct advantages exist:
1) The LS7 is a "done deal"...good-to-go, as they say
2) If you build a 500hp LS3+, it will NEVER have the TORQUE of the LS7. Pete, is more torque a good thing on a track, especially for corner exit? On the street? Is there anywhere that extra torque is a bad thing, icy roads excepted?
