Here's the recipe for the Z28 as I see it.

-Dry sump LS3 from the Corvette Grand Sport with a different cam
-Tweaked tuning for optimal HP, 450 as a modest rating
-GMPP Pfadt suspension
-ZL1 Wheels (like off of the SSX) and brakes
-ZL1 dual mode exhaust
-ZL1 carbon fiber weight savings
-Recaro front race seats
-Rear seat delete

Since most of the parts are already in the bin it would be pretty easy to throw this car together. 37xx lbs. and 450 HP is easily doable and would compete very well against the Boss. I don't think it was any secret that the ZL1 would have been the Z28 if the Boss didn't come out. It was called the Z28 for quite a while.
