Motor Trend's Z/28 video test review with Randy Pobst
THE TRANS AM RACER RETURNS
I just cam across this video link on Motor Trend's Ignition Mondays YouTube page of the Z/28 test from Birmingham's Barber Motorsports park which will go active Monday. Carlos Lago and the team puts the Z/28 through test runs with also Randy Pobst providing some hot laps in the car. Monday is sure feeling a lot like Christmas morning with all the embargoed tests being made available some time after midnight tonight. Video is listed as private until after the embargo is lifted.

This is going to be great. Time to look up Barber lap times for comparison...

Mustang 302R racecar on slicks on the old surface at Barber ran a 1:36.9, so figure it'll run a 1:35 flat (on slicks) on new surface (approx) If the Z/28 is in the 1:38-:40 range, especially in the cold temps they had to run it, it's game-over for Porsche and a whole new paradigm. :40-:42 would still be wholly respectable for a car that is 1/2 the price of a GT3 to buy and 1/4 the price to repair, and a laudable achievement.

Man oh man -- the tidal wave hits Monday! I fully expect the flood of good publicity this car gets to be something else, given the performance for the price...
