The real issue for the Z28 will be if the car will really hold up to drag radials an such with the lighter weight road racing components.

for drag racing the Zl1 will alway be a better choice is is just more druable and easer to make big power. ohh and cost 20k less.

That is one reason the z28 is not a car I am just in love with. they have cut some corners that makes sense for its aplication but for a just a toy driver time will tell.

when I was shopping GT500's it has soem of the same issues. clutch and axels are pretty much a coin flip at stock power if you really push the car.

every car has it strenghs and weaknesses. If all I did was go to a track and road race my car I might be looking at one. that is why I shopped the GT500 as well when I bought even though it did not seem as balanced 11 second passes are cooler than 12 seconds passes every time ha ha. it can't be argued. once I started seeing clutch and axles would proabably be needs those cost as much as pullies and power on a zl1.
