When you "compress" anything...air, for instance...you also HEAT it. To dissipate the heat, you need increased/enhanced cooling, be it air-to-air, air-to-water, water-to-air etc. To increase cooling capacity, you need bigger/heavier/co$tlier cooling components...which add weight, and complexity, and expen$e.

There was a significant number of "Hoorays!!" when the ZL1 name was adopted, and the Z28 name was NOT. And (witness the Z28 Section's sustained postings) there was/is a sustained desire, unrequited, for a "true" _ / _ _ Something with a touch more "hot sauce" underhood than the SS/1LE...just like the Gen-1 _ / _ _ offered more than the "regular" SS.

"Light-as-likely", fully able to carve canyons with the very best 4-seaters out there...
