Went for a ride in a new Z/28 today.

The Z/28 engine is not detuned, it is a simple case of physics. 505hp in a lightweight corvette does not equal 505hp in a very heavy camaro. It's about a 500lb difference which would take approximately 50hp to overcome.

Theres about 10 z28s sitting in lots eating dust in Norcal. Way overpriced for what it is… I couldn't imagine the depreciation you will see in another year

.......The vette is fast because it weights less ...power to weight.

It only becomes overpriced when the dealers tack on their "market pricing."

These gages only need to be checked once in a while. The HUD keeps the speedo and rpm's where you need to see straight ahead.

Now if GM would make it so we can add the additional info to our HUD's now we'd all be happy. lol

Gages can always get lights to shine when something is hot or not operating properly. As with a shift light for a tach, you can get them to shine at any preset time.
