In that case, the Z28 loses in the comfort category (unless they are adjustable...). The CTS-V coupe is faster than the Shelby in a straight line, so I expect the Z28 to win there (although I'm personally not a straight line racer). What I'm saying is that weight can be compensated for in handling with the right suspension.

agreed, there's wiggle room but the biggest reason why the ctsv coupe is faster is cause of the gearing. and only the auto is faster as far as i know aswell.
first gear is around 4.11 or so, that's a shit ton higher then the 3.53 in my shelby.
like i said before, the balance gets destroyed and you end up with 12mpg city driving with the coupe V... and thus a heavy gas guzzler...
i'm hoping that the engineering department has a few things they can tidy up on the current camaro platform...
for one thing, the steering on my shelby is lightyears better then the steering was on my 2SS... it would help a bit, and give them the power to increase some mpg... maybe enough to get it out of the gas guzzler.
one way or another, it's exciting stuff... personally i can't wait to have the muscle car wars continue cause in the end; we all win.
