I may get stoned for this but here goes......

By now everyone here has heard of the Boss 302.

Back in the day the Z28 was originally crafted as a limited edition to allow the Chevy 302 to road race. It was a direct competitor to the Boss 302.

Now even if you do not like Mustangs you have to admit the Boss 302 is a cool car. More of a road race slant on the Mustang.

So why can't Chevy compete with Ford? The Camaro has a stouter chassis that the mustang and can go head to head with it at the road tracks.

My idea is to save the Z28 name for a Boss 302 competitor.

My Z28 would have;

19" light weight wheels
Low profile 300+ tires all the way around
CTS-V brakes
major suspension upgrades
coil overs
As many lightening mods as practical for the price
Recaros (Fabric)
Aggressive spoiler and body kit
LS7 (!!)
Distinctive stripes and graphics
Long tubes in the trunk

Then we rename the planned Z28 to ZL1. That name is legendary, way more so than Z28.

We go head to head with the Boss 302 and GT500.

Would the ZL1 name disappoint anyone?
