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

Great start!

Love all the chatter in the house. Like having the family home for the holiday.

Yes, but even better. I can't get enough.

It's ground hog day out there!

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?
