Not sure why everyone always jumps on the "SS is watered down" bandwagon all the time when the Z has been watered down just as much.
Umm... there is only one Z28. To compare Z28 to those you cited (except the IROC) is not even logical, IMVHO. I'm not sure if this part of the thread came from what was deleted a bit ago, but I'm not sure who stated they thought the SS is watered down. I certainly don't. I can say that I have a car now that is at least as fast as the SS is going to be so I'd like to trade-up (well, in terms of performance. Shoot, this car is going to be in a different league compared to my '02, LOL.)

Please stay on topic.
