Back in the first gen Camaro day...
Z28 = Top road track Camaro SS L78 396 + 427 = Top 1/4 mile Camaros Today we may find... 2014 Z28 = 2nd fastest or maybe tied road track Camaro 2014 Z28 = 2nd fastest 1/4 mile Camaro Isn't guessing with some known facts fun?

yes it said 206 verifiable orders as an option, but some were sold over the counter. If it was in todays money it would have been around a $5,000. option, OUCH!

I've seen that top pic before. It's an old photoshop that was made prior to the release of the ZL1.

...markets are downsizing because of tighter market shares and economic downturn reasons. Same as the simple explaination is that we don't have 6 divisions or so of products anymore, and 16 color options., That old model does not work. WE know the ZL1 morphed form the initial intent of resurecting the Z/28. Let's get back to the face of Chevy and basics, who really cares about a ZL1? How long has it been made? It's a replacement for the iconic GM muscle car...why carry a halo performer in the Camaro lineup other than Z/28? What impact has it to anyone who knows anything about what if was in the past and any meaning it has it has to us now? Can the limited market share<and price> be sustained over time? It's a 100th year of Chevy tip of the hat product design that Chevy can showcase... and they can do this thing whenever they see fit. It's here, they did it, better off retiring it, and moving forward with the Z/28 only I say. And make it what they wanted it to be before the economic collapse.

This "he said, she said" regarding "Corvette engine" usage belies one always-in-play FACT: Put the same engine in a 3900 lb vehicle and it will NOT outperform a 3200 lb vehicle, all other things being similar, which of course they're not...
It was the same at Ford when the 540 hp engine was used in the far-superior (dynamically) GT chassis than in the GT 500 Stang. GT outran the bigger/heavier/less-dynamic Stang...and so would the Vette. By its very nature, the Vette maintains a certain performance superiority over the Camaro... The GT 500 is on a par, now, with the mid-decade GT only because of an extra 100+ hp...and improved GY tires. Try that recipe on the 1SS/1LE Gen-5 Camaro with LS7 motor-vation and Michelin Pilot SS or Cup tires...and then watch the competition cringe! |
