No, I am talking about the caulking that is all over the car. Open the hood and look at the lip where the skin joins the inner skeleton. Every join is caulked to prevent corrosion.

so how much weight would the A/C only option add? Summers can be brutal, you know. And why bother having rear seats, if racing is its only intention(look @ Boss SECA)?

When I blow up my LS3, an LS7 will go in it's place.

It's 60 pounds on the older cars.

I don't think there is a rear seat in the Z/28. Not that there really is one in any of theses cars. LOL!!

The current Alpha cars (ATS and new CTS) are coming in under 3500 pounds.

Keep in mind that in addition to weight, AC also has a belt driven compressor that eats HP... There's nothing "performance" about AC... I wish you could delete it on the SS/1LE/ZL1 as well. The back seat was lightened, but retained... Probably because the vette is To be Chevy's only 2 seater. Ford doesn't have to worry about that since the Mustang is all they've got.

I'm blown away that Chevy would actually build this car...If you think they will only be seen at the track and not on the street, I wouldn't bet on it...lol...
I'm glad it is based on the concept of the original z/28...Chevy and Camaro have not thrown in the towel by abandoning the roots and history of this car. I am pleasantly surprised. I hope it doesn't get nit-picked by the man-purse, creature-comfort fanatics who don't appreciate what Chevy has offered with the Z-28... It could have very easily been a watered-down run of the mill car with a rip-off use of an iconic nameplate, just to pacify the masses...But instead, they did it right...Don't like it, get something else...just leave this one alone.. |

After hearing that, looks like I won't be owning a Z/28 just isn't practical. My Z/28 would have to go to trips to the Grocery store, Target, hell even Texas Roadhouse. Good luck for those guys that have 100* weather with no A/C.
I'll wait until GM releases a Z/28 like the 4th Gen which was a DD. |

I respect your wishes but I hope GM never goes there again with this car.
