....more in a hi-po form was shown for the Vette. Not so much for the Z. I was dissapointed.

I kinda agree old school. They really showed the Z in only one turn, shoulda been more. But I did notice that the Z didn't have any tire squeal in that one turn, whereas the vette was squealing in just about every turn. I suspect they weren't pushing the Z at the time the vids were shot. I assume the stock tires on the Z will squeal eventually, right?

The ZL1 ran a 7:41 at The Ring. My best guess for the Z/28 is a 7:36. I have driven that track, and I believe the lighter weight, superb suspension, and killer tires will overcome the power advantage of the ZL1. If they run faster than 7:36, there are a lot of guys who will be trading their GT3s...

It was already 3 seconds faster than the ZL1 at Milford and that was early-on before they'd done all the tweaking the've been doing the past 9 months. It's not going to be just 5 seconds faster on the Ring, it's going to be a LOT faster. That latest video shows it on power and digging hard through those corners; the same corners the Stingray is coasting through trying to hang on while the tires are screaming in protest. The Z/28 is powering through those corners...that thing is FAST. With the already-admitted 1.05 g's in the corners and 1.5 g's braking, if they can pull off a no-screw-ups hot lap, I bet it cracks the 7:20 mark. I'm guessing 7:19-something. You heard Mark Reuss; they want to build something that the competition can't even touch, so that means not just a little faster, that means track killer faster. My guess is they're not releasing lap times yet because either Stielow isn't done tweaking, and/or they don't want to give the competition the target numbers they have to beat until the car is close to being released for sale. They're not going to be able to make enough of these things.

Doc, just playing Devils advocate here. Will you be disappointed if its only in say the high 720 range or low 730 range? I just cant see how the Z28 is gonna be 22 seconds faster than the ZL1 or be in Z07 range but thats just me. I expect this car to be faster than a lot expect but sub 7:20 to me just seems other worldly fast lol

give that Z28 a air intake and a cam, ditch the cats, and tune it...I'd bet it rolls hard.
