Yes an auto Z28 isn't true to heritage from the 1st Gens but I'd say a 2 ton supercharged V8 is no more an abomination of the name than IROC-Z or the rather tame 4th Gen Z28's.

Obviously you never owned a 4th gen Z28. It was in no way tame compared to the other cars in its class and it would have soundly thrashed the 1st gen Z28 in every direction. My 4th gen mod for mod had no compitition unless it was another 4th gen F-body or C5, C6 vette or 03+ cobra. That car ran low 12's with just minor bolt ons. The new 5th gen is light years ahead of the 4th gen in every way accept performance. The new 5th gen is just a tad bit better in performance over the so called tame 4th gen. Saying the 4th gen Z28 was tame is like saying the SAW 249 is a tame automatic rifle. Mark my words the 4th gen F body will go down in history as the most fearsome pony car of its era. The 4th gen needed serious help in alot of ways but performance was not one of them. The 4th gen was in no way considered tame.
