So from what we know today, are you more excited, less excited or unchanged on the Z/28?
We only have one thing left and that's price. I think the failure thus far was posting a time and then going, "but it's really faster". Thus far I don't see anything to make me think less of the car. It's only a question of affordability relative to the C7. I am pretty sure the C7 Z06/07 will be unobtainium for my wallet.

A media outlet mat have told GM they were running a story on the lap time with or without input and GM decided it was best to get ahead of the story.
Maybe the project is behind with Ring runs. TEAM Camaro is going to be running the Z/28 with various media outlets over the fall and winter so they didn't have the luxury of waiting for spring to come and another Ring run. My excitement level has not changed. I think the Z/28 is a great car and a showcase for TEAM Camaro. The closer it gets to production, the more excited I'll be. I can't wait to get my hands on one to do our own before and after. |

I'm still excited for the car. In stock form, it's a beast but when it gets in people's hands and they start throwing cams and long tubes on, it will be a hell of a car.

Even a blind pig gets lucky and finds some corn now and again.

It is awesome to be related to the Z! I love when Al talks about it he uses words like; angry, and bad ass.

I guess during a longer run, like the 25 or 50 lap race I mentioned, that 3.8 second advantage will grow as the ZL1 brakes begin to fade and the car begins to heatsoak. That 3.8 second advantage could grow exponentially.

I think you're gonna have to lick that calf over. [ DOWN HOME COLLOQUIALISM FIGHT ! ] By the way, I'm loving the excitement. My guestimate is a 7:30.xx for the Z and 7:29ish for the C7z. Eventually...
