I don't necessarily disagree with anything except the weight. Where is the unbreakable law that these cars must weight 3900 pounds? Just becasue GM builds it that way? Even a couple hundred would produce results As far as CID vs motor config...I'm very old school muscle. I know what a big block is...and isn't

Z28 = Nostalgia
Sure the SS is an upgrade, but my cheap Z/28 I had is where all the "magic" happened lol. If there was a 2013 Z/28 I would totally "make it" in that car just to be like I was back in the day hahahaha. |

Z28 was the factory entry model for Trans AM; a road course car for the street. The SS, was a more frills camaro for the masses.

GM seems to mess around with the model naming every generation. For the forth Gen, the SS ended up being a level up on the Z28, because in the beginning GM didn't build the SS's. The company, SLP, took factory Z/28s and modified them, then resold them through Dealers. That's how the 4th gen SS started out. in the 3rd gen there was no SS. The Z/28 was the top level V8 with 305 or 350ci. The RS Camaro was were you went for the cheaper V8. It came with the choise of either a V6 or the 305 V8. 1st and second gen you had choises of base model, Z28, or z28 with a slew of engines from V6's to both big and small block V8's.

The last Big Blocks (402s, actually), Gen-2 MY '70-'72, were only offered as upgrades to the SS Package. '67 through '69.5 Big Blocks were available generally only as SS-Packaged offerings. The exceptions, of course, are the infamous COPOs... |

....and, 1970 through 1974 SHP SBC's used in Z-28's were the identical SHP SBC 350 CID's used in Corvette's. So, there is a precident set in sharing motors between the two. Let's share the LS7 with a new '14 Z-28, shall we....?
