Lol. And therein lies the problem. You don't want it to fly! That's why you need the aero. :D

by that time My car will be at or near 750rwhp blown with ECS on full road race coilovers and suspension.
my time table for the blower and suspension is 8 months or so.

so all I got to say is.. bring more than a stock Z/28 you'll need it.

and to others that suggested other cars..
why bring other cars even into the equation the thread was about Camaros on a Camaro board?
this was not about making a car as fast as a z/28 but making a SS into a Z/28 for alot less than they are asking.

the Z/28 is an overpriced stripped out snoozefest than any properly modded Camaro will flat destroy for less. We have 3 LSX cars in my club alone that will flat leave the Z/28 in a smoking hole in the ground wondering what hit it be it drag strip or autocross while playing the stereo and keeping cool in the AC..
the car is a total miss of the mark that will end up in collectors garages that's about it.

You forgot to mention how much they have invested in their cars... then there's the fact their mods are valued at pennies on the dollar but the Z/28 will hold it's value MUCH better! I'll bet money on it.

Less than the markup on this pile will be.

I'm betting at least down here where Cobra and ZL1s are severely marked up into the 70s
This car will be sitting at low 80s with as limited a run as they are planning as well as the demand on the collectable side.

Cars are for driving not sitting in some warehouse

probably the best idea i have heard in while:respekt:

750 rwhp
 

Dyno numbers never did impress me . I'm more interested in quater mile numbers. That's a gimmick

These are not dyno queens.
These are 9 second and below cars.

One being a 1400 hp twin turbo LSX car.
He is on here.

as is another look for dangeruss he has a build log here 885hp on his
9.84 for him.

I think we may be a bit off track here ;) The Z/28 is not designed for the drag strip. It will do well on an autocross. What the Z/28 is designed to do is run laps. Lots of laps. Consistent laps. Mark Stielow is a renowned Pro-Touring / Show Car builder and a multiple OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Champion. His Mayhem Pro-Touring Camaro feature a Brian Thompson built 850 RWHP. This guy is a hard core car guy.

Mark's day job is engineering at GM. For the last two years Mark has been working on the Z/28. His credentials are second to none. Hand Mark a pile of tubing, sheet-metal and go fast parts and he'll build you a Pro-Touring car in his home garage. Combine Mark's skills with the resources at GM, the Camaro TEAM and you get a Z/28 but for the road course or eXtreme daily driver. It is a fully engineered track car in the spirit of the current Porsche GT3 that weighs in at 3,318 and retails for $134,000.

Can you build a Z/28 like Camaro? Of course and we have since the release back in 2009. Can you build them cheaper is the real question. Everything on the Z/28 has been validated to meet OEM standards for durability and warranty. That sets the bar pretty high. What I know is that a set of 19x11 light weight racing wheels retail for $4,700. Club Sport Brembo GTR Brakes are $20K. Dry sump systems aren't cheap and so on. Chevrolet has yet to release pricing so we'll have to wait and see what a road course Camaro with a factory warranty sells for.

Sorry, still taking advantage of our sorry asses that will continue to buy or wish we could buy one of these cool cars. My ass is going to be in my 2011 RS/SS for a long time as I am happy with it and I can say UNCLE !!

:happy0180:

And as said above these cars will end up as poser garage queens for most.
They priced it and limited it to the point it's a better collectors item than a race or street car.

The brakes are worthless to all but the most deep pocketed track person who most likely won't want to risk such.a limited car on the track in the first place.

We know it's going to be a super limited expensive car.

We also know true motorheads give a Crap less about factory warranty and will always build it bigger and better if something fails.

And we are aware they are not focused at drag but he asked for times.

Dude, you own a Camaro, why the dissing on the Z/28? You're forgetting that from the factory, that this is still an awesome machine that comes with a warranty.
