I would buy that. Something simple yet potent. Don't need the LS7 either. Tweek the LS3. Cheaper still.

GM,
Why not make a Z28 for the 5Gen? Use the LS7 before it fades into oblivion! Make a car that declares we at GM love our street/track enthusiast! A car that will be remembered for the fact that GM could and they did! I know the ZL1 is the "it" car, but F**d has the Gt500 and the Boss. Why you ask? Two different buyers, the I want it all Grand Touring customer and the corner carver/track customer. The Z28 would/could be a parts binner. It would market itself no doubt. Just build it!!! |

As Production-ready, currently, LS3 = 426hp, while LS7 = 505hp...maybe 500 with Camaro exhaust (remember, Vette LS3 = 430, Base...). Co$t$? Priced as crate engines from GM PP, LS7 is LE$$ than LSA, even after purchasing the necessary controller and harness. Partial credit for deleted LS3, so... 1SS + LS7 + HD MN6 + Forged 20s + FE4 = low-$40s (BOSS money). But ya gotta wanna do it... |

$7,000. Difference between the LS7 & LS3. Then $31,000. For a SS1. $2,000. For the suspension. Wheels, HD drivetrain & Misc. $3,000. - $4,000. More = $43,000.+. All from the parts bin. Just think of how easy it would be to market a 427 Z28, Oh, what dreams are made of. I'll buy one right now! Just badge it Z28!!!!!!!!!!!! Why not Number 3? |

If it can be kept to 3,800 lbs. And RWHP is 435 we get a 11.99 1/4 mile at 113.5 mph.
I say bring the Boss(?) on! |

What you've speced out will cost more than a ZL1 but won't have the performance of the ZL1.

So you are just eliminating the titanium $$$ bits then? Sounds like you want a drag car, not a track car.
