A ZL1 would still not beat the Z/28 around a road course, even if it were 300 pounds lighter. The Z/28's lower CG alone makes a significant difference. Add to that the specially tuned coils and dampers, CC Brakes, dry sump motor, less unsprung weight, less unsprung rotating mass... It is a race car vs a street car.

One very important thought. The Z/28 isn't better than a ZL1. It is faster around a road course. The ZL1 isdn't better than the Z/28. It is faster in the 1/4 mile. They are both Zs, but they are very different Zs.

One last thought, they are both better PEDDERISED.

Mark will have done nothing less than a brilliant job with the dampers and spring rates. That doesn't mean they are perfect for every track or driver. The gain in Z/28 CG is almost all in the wheel and tire package. We can improve the CG by going lower. The strut mounting location is not changed on the Z/28. SAI can be improved and we can gain more camber adjustment.

I haven't given it much thought, but those are few details that come to mind

Help Pete Buy a Z/28. BUY MORE PEDDERS!!!!
If we do that, can we get a free ride at the Fest for those who bought the red stuff?
