Z427,
Do you track your Z28?

The mods included high flow intake, injectors, roller rockers, pulley, cam, long tube headers, high flow cats and h-pipe. Stock mufflers with fuse pulled to keep valves open. The car has a tune and it increased hp and torque approx 150 and 100 higher than stock.
The car is now your own musical instrument, you can drive mellow and it burbles, and totally "rocks and rolls" when at a light (the cam thing!), or you can lay into it and it just screams bloody murder. You can lay a patch through all gears if you so desire.
This is the only car I must and will keep. For comparison, my other cars this past year have been... 2015 C7 Z06 manual, 2016 Huracan LP580-2, GT3RS, 2017 GT350R and 2016 Focus RS. The Z/28 is truly magical, that is if you like an "old school" muscle car that happens to be a track monster and a dragster combo.
Hope this helps.

Wow ! that is some cool cars in 2 years ! except maybe the Focus RS is out of place in that group, lol... I saw your lambo in another post, what a beauty ! Anyway, that is quite an endorsement for the Z/28, I feel the same way -- Fantastic big displacement, old school, analog, manual track car -- they are practically extinct now... Can't give up the Z/28.. I am curious what you found lacking in the GT350R ? Let me guess, not enough torque ?

Never driven any of them lower then 4,000 feet. So I am comparing apples to apples.

Not a draw back. I love that characteristic. It rides very much like my 1996 LT4 Z51 corvette and 295 NT01. I love that car. Don't care that it is old. It a blast on the streets and on a track. Sticks like glue. The Z28 should stick even better. Needs another 100hp but I don't want to mess with the LT4, its to rare.

It really depends on how much power is enough in the mind of the beholder. My 15 yr old grandson is visiting. His parents have a Toyota SUV and a Subaru wagon. They see their cars as transportation appliances and nothing more. Their thing is communing with nature. That's cool for them but my grandson had never ridden in a fast car. We took a quick romp to a hundred. (Safe on a straight road with all nannies on.). Needless to say, his mind was blown as if he was blasting off in a Titan propelled space capsule. Right now 505 hp is is enough for him, and for me as well, but that doesn't mean it always will be.

Hi, To answer the questions... no I have not tracked the Z/28 yet. Hope to over the next few months. On the GT350R, frankly it is not "raw" enough, looks and sounds great, but I like the Z/28 especially after the mods.
I just purchased the wickerbill and the front splash guards and will instal in a couple of weeks.
