I have a lot of time for your views on the Z/28 Box because I know how educated and passionate you are on the model.
I too (as well as many, many other 1st genners) would prefer to see a V8 in a Z/28 but when I compare this car to the capabilities of my 69 and 70 Z/28's, I really can't come up with a good enough reason why this car could not legitimately be offered up as a Z in the future.
We don't need to see the braking and handling numbers to know there has never been a better performing Z. The suspension components and Brembo set-up make that obvious. If that engine was only 400HP - is that so bad if the car was offered with a 4.10 or 4.56 rear? I would think a package like that would definitely capture the essence of the original Z/28.
