Z/28 - Maybe LS3 with magnetic suspension or some other significant suspension upgrade.

Z/28 - Handling package for the SS with slight weight reduction.

ZL1 should be a brutish thug with 550-600hp (maybe a tuned down LS9) and all the fixings of the Z/28. Starting in the 65k area.

I like the way you guys think

Doesnt this seem like a better way to go about things?? Not putting all of the eggs in one basket so to speak....

99-LS1-SS · 10-01-2009, 01:15 PM

It all depends on whether or not your egg has a LS9 in it...

Not everyone can afford a beast with a LS9 in it..... so you make a in between model... a little more performance but not a monster price tag. If you have both you are going to appeal to a wider range of people. JMHO

I agree with you, I'm just harassing you.

ZL1 should have a LS10. Throw that whole slower than the vette thing out the window.

Explain to me what an LS10 is

PYROLYSIS · 10-01-2009, 01:44 PM

Hasn't been invented yet, but its more powerful than LS9, obviously.

The LS6 isn't more powerful than the LS3 though.

We have found a Camaro, or should I say the Mother of Camaro has found us and asked for help! We have discussed on the forums about our involvement with GM in many departments from Chevrolet, to Pontiac, to GM Racing, to Camaro platform staff and others. We recieved a call today from GM asking for help. They are having rear springs fall out of the Camaro from other suspension manufacturers on 4
VERY SPECIAL
Camaros plus a Camaro that GM is building that will blow the socks off of everyone. Unfortunately, the world does not know about this Camaro and we cannot discuss it so do not ask!!

For the Z/28 I would like to see something along the original concept of making a car for the SCCA racing which limited a motor to 5000cc or 305 cubic inches. The original Z/28 was a 327 block with a 283 crank putting out 350 HP. Perhaps a supercharged V-6 putting out 450 HP ( a 100 more than the original ). As for the ZL1, not sure. I like the LSA engine. Supercharged..intercooled..no whine, enough beast to satisfy most. Enough drivability to satisfy most. And acceptable gas milage not to piss off Washington or your significant other to much. All do able with not a lot of tooling money on GM's part.

I think it would be cool to see GM strap a turbo or two to the Z28..
