If you know what you're doing, you can easily build the SS into a much more capable car than the Z-28 is forecast to be. Even if they were to advertise it as 600HP, that would make in the neighborhood of 500 at the wheels. Spend 6K on a SC and a weekend of work, you can easily beat that number. Plus the aftermarket blower will support much more HP in the future. Anything that comes OEM will be conservative. No way around it.

So other than being the first kid on block, I don't see it. To each his own, but just don't assume you're getting a night and day difference between the two. As a comparison look what people are doing with GT500s. The factory blower is the first thing that goes when they want more out of it.

I bought my SS/RS for 34,500 roughly after ttl. they want supposedly 50k for the z28. Modded with after market my sc was 6100 after tax. 40,600 now and teds street pack made for another 2k so 42,600. so im about 7,000 grand less which would probally buy me the rods pistons rings and sleeves no problem if i wanted to really boost the sc for another 70 dollar pulley.

Part of the muscle car culture which you are all claiming is one of your top reasons behind getting the Z, is SOUPING up the car your self. Again I dont understand either what the big deal is. These people are the same people that have to have the IPAD ont he first day of release.
