If they make an LS7 z28, I will buy one. I agree with everything you said there. |

I'm the guy that had a '68 Z/28 back in the day, when people thought 396/375 was the only way to go. Sure they kicked my ass for a 1/4 mile, but on the turn to the return road, I got to say, "B-Bye!". I'm paraphrasing... I'm not maligning the ZL1...I don't have $50-55K to play with. If I can save 200lbs. on the nose with similar wheels and tires and brakes, and therefore increased cornering capabilities without MR, and leave the best part of $10Gs in my pocket, I'm a happy dude, dude! That's the difference between owning, and NOT owning, your Silverado SS, roughly... |

It does not cost GM anything for you to drop a motor in your car. It does however cost GM a ton of money for GM to drop a different motor in your car. Validation is nowhere near a cheap process.

The LS7 is Production-ready...it's called a Corvette... It simply (?) needs to be "EPA'd" in a Camaro...and that, as your inside sources will tell you, is a whole lot easier/simpler/quicker/less costly that tweakin' a not-ready-for-prime-time LS3-based one-off...
EDIT: "EPA" should read "Government-ready"... |

Still, next gen shouldn't be as heavy as the current cars. Hopefully the Camaro will get scaled down overall in the next gen and be able to shed 100 lbs or so. And if the z could take another 100 off of that that'd be great. Don't think it's too unrealistic just talking about it now, but of course things are always changing. Cant wait to see what Chevrolet can come up with in a few years

Chevrolet has most of it's chips on the ZL1. I honestly believe we are going to get our Z/28 but not until ZL1's are cruising the streets. Do you think Chevrolet wants a "thunder stealing" Z/28 to compete against ZL1 sales? I know who would win that battle and so does Chevrolet.
I have dog cussed Ford and bleed G.M. blue, but that Boss mustang is bad ass. The Z/28 is coming, because it's just to damn easy. Last edited by Fightinfire921; 05-29-2011 at 11:50 AM. |

It reads as bullet points
ZL1 LSA+LS7 MR+Pedders coilovers That's why it made no sense. if you put a space between each it would have read right LSA, -LSA + LS7, -MR +Pedders Coilovers Would have been much easier |

Now, they might do a Z28 as we more or less envision it. They might not. But if they do, I can't see GM saying anything about it until the ZL1 is out and that is over 6 months away as is.
