This alone will kill the GT500 in the race with the new Z28.
Ah, the only thing this car misses, is a true forged piston and rods. That's where I envy GT500. BTW, GT500 for MY2013 (production in 2012) will get the TVS2300 @ 600HP.

Isn't it the same system (I thought I heard Ferrari traded the CF brakes for the MS...)? The one video I saw, recently, of a GT500 vs. a CTS-V Coupe seemed to really show a lot better bite, and I guess weight transfer, of the CTS-V's IRS. The shot wasn't really good, but it hooked a lot better than the GT500. I'm sure some of it had to do with the better tires, but I know those shocks will help. I do hope they're AT LEAST an option for Z28. It'd be a real shame if they weren't. I really believe Z28 needs them to make up for the weight it's probably going to gain.
on all the engine stuff

Just cause they think they screwed up the environment does not mean that I should not get to have just as much fun as they did.
Me... I don't trust air I can't see...    |
I just noticed where you live, LOL!!! I feel you though. Great story!!! They have no clue what they talk about much of the time. I'm sure he "green" car polutes more from cradle to grave than these cars ever will.
