But it could give a whole new meaning to the phrase: "Hot Wiring" cars...

So...some of us want a Z28 that can be put on a race track against race-prepped vehicles and be competitive...from the showroom........
"..........................."
fwiw....and for some it'll be next to nothing...
Here's my ideal Z28 ''forumula"...I don't think I've ever posted it...
Z28: Performance-focus. Luxury not available.
Overview: Significant gains in handling performance, marginal straight-line improvement. This Z28 performs noticeably better than SS thanks to minor engine tweaks, aggressive gearing, and track-derived suspension. No extraordinary weight savings applied.
This vehicle will deliver maximum bang-for-your-buck on the track. But daily driving ability will be negatively effected when compared to the SS, and options are limited to the C+C, striping, and redefined RS package.
This, in the best metaphor that comes to mind, is the Z06 of Camaro.
Equipment:
1SS+
LS3 w/ factory CAI, shorty headers, revised tune. Est: 449hp/438tq
ZL1 brakes & rotors
ZL1 suspension geometry w/ stiffer springs, shocks (non-adjustable), and stabilizer bars
ZL1 powertrain upgrades
ZL1 aero treatments, except the front fascia
ZL1 tires
Z28-specific front fascia
Race-inspired 19" rims
Dual Mode Exahust
Cloth racing seats (factory 'legal')
Roll Cage
HUD
Performance:
Marginally faster than an SS in a straight line, significantly better handling. Marginally poorer handling than the ZL1 (noticeable difference in comfort/refinement), significantly slower in straight line.
What I envision....is the best of the Boss, and the Z06 v ZR1 relationship all mixed into one.
