Stock vs Stock I personally think the two would be so even it would come down to driver ability. |

It'll be around 2-3 truths slower on in the qrtr. Than the ZL-1 I'm thinking.

Wow really? A 1LE is capable of running a 12.7! If a Z28 weighing 3800 pounds is heavy what is a ZL1 weighing 300lbs more?

You do know what track-days are? Not being a smart alec, maybe you don't based on your comments? If not, it's ok, just say so? It'll help bring clarity to your confusion |

That 500lbs difference between a Z28 and Z06 would be hard for a Z28 to overcome...same motor lighter car.

According to Al O. 250 lbs. equals 1 second on a track. The brakes alone could make that back up.

Well yes it is. Hope its a short drive and nice and cool outside. Saving 300lbs is worth it but its not like they shaved enough off to make the car a non pig. Ill wager that the car still comes in at almost 4000 lbs with full tank. I know Im not the end all to be all, but I think they should of built it full spec, found other places to save the weight, and skipped out on the Carbon Ceramics to save cost. Bring it in at around the cost of a ZL1 and made more enough of them for the masses. Then if I want to race it, I can choose to remove the carpet, the speakers, the radio etc if I wanted to. Id buy the crap out of a 500 hp Z/28 that managed to lose 300 lbs without carbon ceramics, priced around a ZL1 that I could still tour around in. Now we are talking. |

You skipped my question so I will ask again.... Can you show me where the SCCA has stated that the Z/28 will not be allowed to run in any class? |
