the z28 nameplate implies regular-guy affordability. that marque has been misused. the z28 is, in my opinion, no better than a gt500. faster around a corner? yes. slower at the dragstrip? yes.

I agree sir.

Funny you mention this. There has been a rendering that came out VERY recently with the GT350.
Not to say that I do not want a Z28, I do! But,...75k?!? No thanks. I don't track my cars, but I do love having one of the baddest cars on the road.
