I owned a 700 rwhp Z06, and a 700 rwhp GT500. Both were damn fast cars. Definitely faster in a straight line then my Z/28. But neither made my Z/28 feel slow by any stretch. The Z/28 for all intents and purposes, is a damn fast car in a straight line. It just excels at going faster than anything else through the curves. Put another way, I don't miss the Z06 or Shelby's power, when driving this perfectly balanced Z/28. Although I do admit, it would be fun as hell with another 150 horsepower. I just wouldn't want to sacrifice everything else the Z/28 can do to buy a higher horsepower (other car) that can't touch a Z/28 through to corners.

The biggest problem I've found with owning and driving a car with all that excessive horsepower is that you can't use it on the street. Blowing the tires off at 130 sounds cool as shit, but when it's happening, it scares the living hell out of you.

Watch the video of the new ZL1 side by side with the '14 Z/28 at the ring. The ZL1 blows the Z/28 away on the straights and seems like it's going to run about 30 seconds quicker than the Z/28 at about the 2 minute mark. But by the time the rain starts at 6:00 minutes on the Z/28 video, both cars are dead even. That's a testament to what the Z/28 is capable of.
