Tell you what.

If the Z-28 is 45k or less, and can beat a Z-06 around a true road course, I'll dress like a girl and drive my car n public.

Even 50k.

But my only point is suspension and weight wise, from everything I've learned, the Camaro can only do so much. With larger wheels, higher center of gravity, and 1000 POUNDS heavier, I just can't see it.

Straight line, Maybe. Road course, no.

I am not a car expert. NOT even close. I'm just giving my opinion based on, to me, what makes sense, and it just doesn't make sense to me. Physics-wise, nor business-wise.

Then again, my business is not cars. lol

I don't know how physics would let this happen. Even if it does and even though the window sticker might say $45,000.00, nobody will pay anywhere near that once the dealers are done marking them up.

I found this posted not sure if its true or not.
But theres some pretty big claims there.

Positioning.

An aspect of the grudge I didn't think about.

All this fuss and I'm not even convinced this is legit. At least it's something to talk and speculate about, lol.

No factory 5th Gen Camaro is going to match or exceed Corvette Grand Sport or Z06 performance for under $45k MSRP.
