the Corvette outhandled and outran a Shelby GT500 that had 100more horsepower than the Corvette did when they tested the two against each other... now who here thinks that a Camaro that weighs 500-600lbs more than a C6 with a 436hp LS3 has anything to fear from an average Joe piloted 500+hp Camaro? I certainly dont think it does, and I'm betting GM doesn't either... so dont be surprised if the Z28 comes out with a pricetag at around $42-45k fully loaded... that's right in line with a GT500 and only slightly more than a SRT8 Challenger... which is easily beaten by even an SS Camaro without the supercharger.
just a couple of notes from the GM handbook and history lessons about the cars we're talking about in this thread.
