17 ZL1 what a car....
|
The best thing about this idea is that anyone could check this option and get a top of the line car without the dealer doing a super high markup. It really upsets me to see all the limited hi-performace edition cars going to the super rich. I want one and would gladly pay for it but screeeeew the 20K dollar markups.... Just my thought.. I like the check box idea.....

I've said it before and I will say it again... slapping a supercharger on an engine not designed for it can only cause problems later on down the road. Even the cast pistons in the LSA are a liability.
Unless the Z28 package w/ the S/C includes a set of forged pistons, the reliability that I want from a FULL production Z/28 will keep from buying this package. Or a full warranty to 100K when buying this package... For the price of a GMPP package, I could rebuild the LS3 for forced induction and still have money left in the bank. I have NEVER liked the reliability aspect of slapping a S/C onto a motor designed for N/A. I understand that it has been done in the past, but that does not make it the right decision. |

This is the way i figured they would do it. If they were going to do it, it would almost have to be a package that you could get at the dealer.
+ a hundred on that option package to be checked(if i had the dough) |

hey question about this...
(and dont jump on me for speculating...) But is this something that you could buy AFTER getting your car? i ask because there is no way i could aford a 5-8k mark up past 30k, but id love to add it to the car after i could make that money. what are the odds of having an SS be converted to a Z28 post Factory through aftermarket products? kinda like a mustang stage 3 might do... |

To answer your question - I'd say you could do it, but would it be cost effective?... IF, GM were to make Z28 like this, I would be willing to be a paycheck that upgrading an SS to a Z28 would be more expensive than just buying a Z28 outright from the beginning. I think this is a struggle some people face and are just anxious about; the not knowing when part. Now, if GM were to go a more traditional route, I think adding 10-20 more horse' and dropping weight would be easier than what I speculated above. Taking away from a car is a lot easier than adding to it. I don't have any facts to support which way GM would/have/is/was going with Z28, I'm just taking a shot in the dark

Great Idea! It would be a fairly rare car and since there will be so many other options few would be alike. RS|Z28..base Z28.....body kit....21's... stripes...colors....wing...blade

Guess I'll have to wait two MORE years to get a factory blown Camaro. The car is so tuff lookin'. but I don't NEED to get my butt kicked by blown mustangs and turbo'd hondas.
