But there is no way the Z28 is going to outrun the Z06...same engine except the Vette has 600 less pounds to carry. And that little aero kit is not going to make that much of a difference to put the Z28 ahead of the Z06
True, I would not want Trofeos as my daily tire. There are better tires available than the slippery goodyears we got. I do not want the Zl1 to come with track tires, I only want it acknoledged that Trofeo tires make a difference - be it 1 second or 5. But some peoples brains are .
I thnk all are glad GM is making this car, including me. I also think it will be an awesome race circuit car - the perfect camaro for race teams or privateers. I agree too, that the new Z28 will, without any doubt or reservation, be annihilated by a Z06 - but they are not even in the same class, so no biggie.
