Buy the GT500. It's a nice car and Ford is building as many as the market can take.
If and when the Z28 hits the streets you will not be able to test drive one and probably will have to wait a long time to get one. Both are negative points to you from your original posts. Robin

That's gonna suck if you can't test drive it! How are you supposed to decide if you like how the car feels? I mean, I know how it feels to drive and handle an LSA but not in a Camaro package.

I assume it will. Well, if and when it releases I'll be in the running as long as I don't have to wait too damn long.

Since they can sell every one of the specialty cars they won't need to allow test drives. And if you need a test drive to determine if the car "feels" right to you then maybe your in the wrong market segment. I would guess that most Z28's if and when they are produced will be garage queens and weekend toys. Not unlike most people that might buy a GT500. Hell I have had many test drives in specialty cars, but they are few and far between. Good luck. Robin

A Z/28 will be a weekend toy for me as well but there are other things that need to be right for me, like does the car feel too big, wide and bulky or will it feel tight, taut and nimble or super heavy as some cars feel heavier or lighter than they really are. For instance, My V is a 4300 lb car(which I did test drive) but when I get in it, it doesn't feel that damn heavy. These are things that I look for in a car as to what will be perfect for me.
Even though it will be a weekend toy, it still has to be comfortable for me to drive as I will drive it hard and enjoy every damn penny that I spend on it. |

In my opinion the current Camaro is both too heavy AND too wide. But with the LS3 to start with and now the LSA that is in my car the car does not "feel" heavy. It actually feels a lot like cars that I have driven that were hundreds of pounds lighter. I guess the good side of the current Camaro being heavy is that it should handle the additional power and torque of the LSA should it be offered. In my Camaro the LSA acts like it was there from day one. I love it! Robin

I read that there were no published results of simply running the LSA, stock, in your car. Do you have any times or data for a stock LSA in your car? Thanks |

Really what I was aiming for was a bolt on LSA. I mean really you think that anyone will leave their Z28 Stock With that said the Z28 with a LSA would be a lot easier to mod than a 4valve 4 cam GT 500. Still a ton of potential. Robin

I actually think more people will leave them stock cause of the super strict GM warranties(if it'll be a daily driver), in fact that's the reason the only thing I've done to my V is add an exhaust, anything outside of that, you void your warranty. Now for the weekend warriors who won't put many miles on their Z's that won't apply much.
