Just develop a trackpack for the car to make it handle better.
And why are you comparing it to the SS? The Z28 was a roadcourse screamer, the SS was a dragstrip car, and the ZL1 was just a total beast.
And how much is this going to cost?... The clearcoat the ZR1 uses on it's exposed CF lanels is something like $60K a gallon, or something crazy like that. Who would buy this stripper if it cost at least the same as a 2SS? More crash testing costs $$$. IMO, I can't see this happening. At the same time, who's to say if they make Z28, in whatever combination, and it cost $46K, how many of these would they sell? That's a lot for a Camaro.

I think we're chasing our tails...
