My definition of a sports car is light weight 2 seat car with great handling and performance. Corvette is a sports car, Camaro is a Pony Car/Muscle Car. In terms of performance cars in general, the ZL1 is an impressive package, but IMO a sports car it is not. |

won't be that much.
Some forget how stripped down the car is. Big engine, and Jack-squat else. shouldn't be too bad.

Lots of zl1 talk.. but this isn't a zl1.
This is a new animal. Why are so many people comparing it to a completely different car. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

The Z/28 is a completely different car than the ZL1? We use the ZL1 because it is the closest and we have data to go by, now if the Z/28 was 3 seconds faster than the ZL1 on the short track I would say they are very comparable.

Personally I think if this car sells for under 70k it's a hell of a deal! |

I confess I am a Z28 bubble guy. My response is about me and my kids. I do not know if I will buy a Z28 (assuming I have a chance) or not. The comparisons with other cars bore me and I work very, very hard for every dollar I earn. I only want a true heritage Z28 and I define what that means to me. Everything I see in the Z28 is exactly what I want. The Team that put this togeather is listening. OK, I will get A/C because I live in sunny FLA but otherwise no options. I admit, cost is a really big deal but life is short. Truthfully, my biggest concern is that I do not have anyplace close to my home to track it. By that I obviously mean a road course but also that includes the folks who can teach me (and my kids) how to drive it hard, then harder and then be able to relax and have fun on the track by youself and just enjoy.

BTW, I've said it over and over and over again, the ZL1 is a great car.
