Exactly.

An LSA-type motor is a less suitable 'fit' for the Z/28. Forced induction, particularly as applied to U.S. domestic cars is about most anything but road course use. If anything, it co-opts a handling/momentum sort of car toward being just another acceleration-based "point and shoot" car.

Exactly Again.

Time and user experience will tell how well forced induction works out in the Z06 - keeping in mind that extra mass up high and up front is not normally considered a step in the right direction for handling taken by itself. Somehow I doubt that the Z06 is getting special dispensation from the principles of physics.

Thanks!
