That's because that's not what the car was made for.

A lot of people here (not all people here) are saying and have the idea that the Z/28 is a "stripped down race car with almost no creature comforts that just so happens to be street legal" and "you can't really use it for anything but track days" and things to that effect. I'm not going to quote anyone specifically, but there is a lot of that type of stuff in the many threads (large and small) about this car. I was saying that the Z/28 has a lot of comfort and convenience features... a whole lot of them... and if you step back and look at it from a completely fresh point of view, you might see that. For a car that really is designed for the track (by engineers and designers who put a lot of time and R&D into it - which costs a lot of money) with the best of the best performance parts (which cost a whole lot of money on their own), this thing is very useful and has a ton of extras! (no, not literally a ton). And that's a good thing! For the record, I've been a regular poster on many car forums at various times for the last 14 years straight, and I've never once been called a troll... because I make it a point not to troll. I notice that that word gets thrown around a lot here and most of the time it isn't at all used appropriately. I may have a different viewpoint than someone (or someones), but that does not mean I'm trolling by expressing it. Hopefully that clears up any misconceptions that there may or may not have been. I believe the word for that these days is "passion". (No seriously, us lot do have a fair amount of it! No one I work with gives two flips about anything related... cars are nothing more than a necessary evil to get to work and back. I love the passion here!)

That's gotta be one of the worst reasons not to buy the Z/28 I have heard yet.

...Don't hear any of that now...Same will be true with the Z/28. However it's priced it will be well worth it, just like the ZL1 is...More to the Z/28 than just brakes.... |

lol really? You obviously arent comprehending my point. The car is not suitable for daily driving. No AC? One speaker? No spare tire? Lol Id be embarrassed to tell anybody I spent that much on a car and got so little.

Dude! the SS doesnt come with a spare tire! Come on! This is not a daily driver! Youre wanting a car to impress women with. THis is NOT the car to do that in. This is a MAN's car! Period!

...Exactly my point...same arguments, such as "all it has is more expensive brakes.." don't apply to the Z/28, either...
