2. Track built vs street car
3. Cost.
I say cost because if you look at the gtrs track version (their track version would be like the z28 in a sense), you would have to spend 200k. But that would be more comparable since it was designed to run on a track. That car would smash the guts right out of any camaro. Look at the track times as tested for it. It ran the "ring" in 7:09 which is insane. Shit, even the regular version ran it in 7:19 and did it faster than the zr1. The z28 would not be capable of such a time.
That said, I think for the value, the z28 is a steal for a track edition. But I would rather a gtr for a multi-purpose vehicle.

Actually I think that makes the Z/28 even more compelling. David Vs. Goliath, or should I say Godzilla, LOL. The fact it could take on the GT-R is remarkable. I've tracked against them, they are faaaaast. And they are without question both track cars. The standard GT-R is a force to be reckoned with on the track. And the Z/28 did beat the GT-R in this venue, a win is a win. Awesome.
