I am by no means an educated authority on SCCA racing or race cars in general, but here's one small tidbit to keep in mind......
I was talking to the "FbodFather" in Sturgis a few weeks ago, and I told him to tell the boys back at GM they did a great job with the new Z/28, and that I was thoroughly impressed. His reply was, "We're not done with it yet"!!!! So....don't get all bent out of shape over SCCA race classes just yet. Just because we've all seen the prototype doesn't mean that is exactly what will be produced next Spring. |

He has many valid points. Chevy is marketing this car as a track ready purpose built car, yet it is unable to compete in any meaningful sanctioned events. The other interesting info I got out of this post is that it seems that the 1LE is not even competitive with the standard 5.0 GT never mind the Boss in the sanctioned SCCA events. There are 7-mustangs ranked above the 1LE some base GTs. Do the 1LE drivers competing not know how to drive? Regardless GM should have made certain that the Z/28 would be able to compete in these events and not just lightning lap articles.

Drag and Tracking have nothing in common other than a car is used for both sports. As has been posted here ad infinitum, ad nauseum, trackers "get it" and non-trackers are trying to make arguments that make no sense The Z/28 is a fantastic package for its intended purpose. If people will stop interpreting it as something it is not nor was ever meant to be, we can generate more pixels about its tasty goodness and lose the moronic worry over it's "legality" <face palm> Quote:

Actually this thread (didn't bother reading the Pill's comments) has been pretty informative for me...The true sanctioned, legal, SCAA, whatever, etc. type of hard core racing is total pie-in-the sky for me....
"Track Events" sound more appealing and do-able anyways...lol....And if the Z/28 is made for that purpose and not out of place for the type of build that it is going to be, then all the better....just sayin'..... |

OP's argument was based on a race car fitting certain rules. |

here is the list thepill posted... here is the camaro from that list and a couple SCCA mustangs which reminds me... this guy has been saying all boss 302's come from the factory built around the rulebook. dont the street 302's come with 19" wheels? which violate the 18" max wheel diameter rule that he posted? thePill's posts are strangely funny i'll admit... I LOL'd at his chops with the joker in them. Last edited by Moreno1; 07-12-2013 at 12:04 PM. |

T1 permits 19x13 and 19x11 inch wheels which is the class the Boss runs in. The Z/28 brakes prohibit the car from competing in T1.
