I joked and guessed kilograms @ seconds....

But seriously, someone mentioned it'd be getting a 2.6L blower over the current 2.4L. Could be cc displacement of the blower? 35 psi? Tires? I dunno.

It's also been suggested that the "lightweight"ness was sucked out of the interior through stripping things out like the back seats. And the front suspension...how there? I don't know.

However, customers may have to select an option to ensure that weight gets removed.

If it was me doing it? I'd put some random numbers on it just to watch everyone try and decipher it. Hours of entertainment for seconds of effort.

Just to make conversation, I really want the Z/28's helical diff. Bad. Just can't afford it yet. Plus, who has some good ideas for road courses to go to? I don't mind traveling a little

Road America and VIR are bucket list tracks.

I just left the Grand Nationals Roadster show. On my way in, i stopped by the Chevy Performance booth and asked about the LT5. They all just smirked and said there's nothing to say right now.

GT4.R is coming. The intake noise sounds a lot like the Z/28 from the Ring. The Z and GT4 may be codeveloped and share an engine.

The last GT4 car just used the LS3...

I'm thrilled to see that thing...what I'm curious about is....if it was going to be a race version of the Z/28 - why not call it the Z/28.R?

I've got a strange feeling about this...

Maybe they will and they don't want to ruin the Z reveal.

The Mustang car is just the GT4.

ZL1 body...possible ZL1 brakes (they just said "Brembo" - with race pads, no doubt)...raced-up SS engine, aftermarket/race transmissions, diff, wheels, and tires....

If we see a Z/28, my bet is they will start with a ZL1 (for cooling, etc), and change the same sort of things from the factory...
