Rebel Chief of Intelligence ShnoMac,

Start looking for a GM Media document with details of Z/28 suspension changes. Find it and post it before I explode.

Hmmmm.... I seem to be striking out.

Gonna be a rough ride around town...

"The Z/28 will also have stiffer springs (85% stiffer in front and 65% stiffer in the rear) and a 1.29-inch lower center of gravity than the SS."

Still looking for said document...

I have a laundry list of friends in the press. You really want to find this one. Very detailed. Very.

All the magazines got it but are not including details in the articles.

They said it wouldn't be a daily driver for a reason.

True. I just didn't realize how much stiffer the springs are..... crazy stiff.

25 mm front bar and 26 mm rear bar which are smaller than 1SS bars.

http://media.gm.com/dld/content/dam/...under-2013.pdf

* 85 percent stiffer front springs, and 65 percent stiffer rear springs, are optimized to match the new DSSV dampers

* 25 percent stiffer lower trailing-link bushings on the rear suspension improve lateral stiffness in cornering and reduce wheel deflection during hard braking

* 50 percent stiffer lower-arm link bushings on the front suspension, improve steering feel

* 400 percent stiffer rear upper control arm bushings improve lateral stiffness to cope with 1.08 max-lat cornering

* Smaller stabilizer bars (from 28 to 25 mm front; 27 to 26 mm rear) are tuned to match the reduced rebound travel

Motortrend Z51: 0-60 3.7, 1/4 12.0 118.4, 60-0 95', Laguna Seca 1:38.28

All of these numbers bested a 911 Carrera 4S: 3.9, 12.3 114.4, 98', 1:39.

Very impressive!

I've was wondering how the Camaro handling would change if they used a short-long arm front suspension instead of a strut. Would it have any noticeable impact?
