Ohhhh yeahhh, ive been waiting for this for a looong time haha. Even when everyone said "face facts, the Z28 was just a rumor, its not happening, especially this day in age" yeah whatever, and i guess the LS7 is dead too huh? Again, another false rumor set straight by a GM rep LOL.

Well enough of that, anyways, im thinking the Z28 will in fact be a better performer than the base Vette while still being cheaper. Why? How would that ever work? Well ask yourself, how many people have you ever known to buy a Corvette just for the performance? You dont buy Vettes for performance alone you buy them for the legendary legacy and the awe-factor of just being able to say "yeah, i own a Vette" or showing up in a parking lot with a Vette and watching everyone gawk. Corvette enthusiests will still buy Vettes even though they're worse performers and more expensive just because they're Vette enthusiests and now Camaro enthusiests. They're a seperate breed of person. Besides, hopefully by the time this Z28 comes out the new Stingray prototype will be in production ^_^

As far as the front fascia and emblems being covered, well obviously GM isnt being quiet about their new toy by any means haha, but im willing to bet its just corporate necessity crap. Like even though they're not afraid to let people watch the testing, take pictures, and even say to them "yes! this is indeed a superchargedZ28!" its still standard protocol to cover those bits for testing.
