Windshield Strength / Durability

Not much has been discussed on Z28 Windshield

Will it spec out higher????

1. Withstand sand pits better?
In my experience, driving at 70 mph (or higher) frequently will corrode the surface quickly and within a year can make it look horrible in the sun.

2. Tolerate wind resistance better than non-hi po cars?

Invariably, you are going to have to replace a windshield. There are windsheilds that "meet govt stds", and there are some that exceed. How in the heck do you determine what you are getting in this Chinese infested market?

Recently I got a brand new HONDA windsheild and paid more to get it believing it was built to higher stds. Well, it has pitted very quickly. Almost like the outer layer was intentionally soft material. Sorry.. just venting and was concerned over how "those in the know" could help us all get a good windshield should we be in need!

It also seems like the market is dominated by a few and the insurance companies want to use the cheapest possible versions available.

Thanks in advance to all who can testify! LOL....
