Suppose the ABS calibration for four equal size Trofeos is different than for staggered GY G;2's (and I'm betting that it is). Do we then have to rework the Trofeo-shod ZL1's ABS so that the Trofeos would be equally effective under braking on the ZL1 as they are on the Z/28? Where does it stop? Norm |

...and just so you don't spend endless hours PROVING this statement, ALL weights showing reduction are, in fact, based against the CAST 20s on the SS... which is considered the BASE V8 car against which the ZL1 and Z/28 are off-shots. Other +s and -s are generally, unless specifically noted, against the SS as well. On the ZL1, '14 wheels are '12-'13 carryover...that means "the same"...

"Easily done" indeed, given even a GM brochure lists rim sizes as "wheels". And yes, not too much fun! Oh well...
Also, on my 11lb comment...according to the ZL1 GM site, it is a difference between the SS and ZL1....TIRES! Oh well...so much for accurancy of data on on other "official" sites... Given all of the above, I do have to retract my "claims", as they are factually incorrect regarding ZL1 rims being as light as Z/28's. |

Part of the problem occurs when brochure writers are given sketchy data, or misinterpret what they do receive. Proof-reading at a consistently high level would be helpful...for ALL manufacturers. THAT is why the little disclaimer statement, at the bottom of the last page, exists.
Also, near-graduates of the Evelyn Wood Speed-Reading course may be a little too hasty to fully grasp what is being shared... |

If ss parts aren't sitting on the shelves z/28 parts won't be either. |

The trim piece on the steering wheel on some shots seems black instead of the silver on SS and ZL1

I believe the interior trim is all black with metallic.

Can we get this back on track to the Z/28 at the Ring? Every time I see a new post here, I hope it's to report the dry lap time.
