The fact the Z/28 can be mentioned in the same sentence as a GT3 says a lot.

The Ford GT, the Viper, and the ZR1 are all very fast and capable, but none are as focused as the GT3 or Z/28 is.

We are living in the Grand Era of the Sportscar.

Never before has there been more track focused cars available, and they are miles ahead of what was available a decade ago. The 1960's? Now just a footnote in auto history. There are family cars today that are quicker, faster, and more track worthy than the best of the 1960's cars. Doubts? CTS-V Station Wagon.
Amen, brother. Much respect for the Z/28, a pure track machine and an exceptional execution at that.
