I'm still hoping at some point a version of this gets the green light so I can add the quad exhaust to my SS. I don't know why I like it.

I guess if I got this, I'd have to change my name to PoorMansZL1.

Dump the magnetic ride control and the bigger brakes. Neither are needed.
Bump the output about 25 rwhp, Make sure there is no bushing side deflection, no wheel hop, and no understeer. Sell it for $40,000, make the back set optional, put in real cloth sport seats, and slap on a Z28 badge. I will be first in line. This would be a car in the true spirit of the original Z28.

Here is my question. So people with a SS think that MRC, bigger brembos, eps, big sticky tires and some lighter wheels, and a new exhaust is going to be a direct comparison to the Boss? I don't want to be a naysayer but this will not trump the Boss in this configuration. For some odd reason I want GM to decimated all direct competition. For now we know the GT has the SS beat not by a huge margin but big enough to know stock to stock the GT will win more than it will lose. Now if they made the SS at the same weight of the GT the 5.0 would mean a lot less than it does now. We have seen this done by GM on the corvette with the Z06 it is the biggest bang for the buck in its segment. You don't hear many people saying make me a vette that performs like a f430 for 60k. But when it comes to the Camaro everyone wants a car that will stomp a mud hole in the Boss for 40k. And how I see it is that you have to pay the cost to be the boss... No pun intended This whole concept of the Z/28 appealing to the masses is skewed. The Z/28 has always represented a tamed down version of the true race cars from the SCCA Trans Am series. In the first gens the Z/28 was not sold in masses with 1969 being the big production year with 20k units produced that's why they are highly collectible now. It seems like most here are into appearance more than raw performance. Which personally I think the Camaro has the muscle car segment wrapped up when it comes to looks. For me the Z/28 should not only stomp a mud hole in cars like the Boss, but shoot for cars like the BMW M3 and Porsche Cayman. Why should we settle for anything less from GM? With a car on par with this sort of company it can drive the premium that will be slightly more than the Boss LS. Making it have that sort of appeal will make reviewers from the press give Chevrolet a huge boost in free promotion. Kinda like the 5th gen when it first hit the scene it had reviewers in awe because it out performed all close direct competition (Mustang and Challenger). Just imagine if it had the bragging rights of knocking the fabled M3 off its pedestal. Like the Z06 & Cts-V has done in recent memory shooting for cars far more expensive and knocking them out in the first round. Just as I expect the ZL1 to dominate the Gt500 and cars like the Clk63 BS....

After seeing the ZL1, I want to add the strut brace and that 2x2 exhaust pipe setup to my 2011 2SS/RS, and I'll be fine
