OH! I've only noticed one other one, but since I know they're here, I'll get 'em. Thanks! Hopefully he'll get you some more

If i had to bet money, they will put the LSA engine in the Z28. Makes sense because it will quicker than the CTS-V but not as quick as the ZR1.

Even with an LS9 it would only be roughly comparable to the Z06, and thats only in the 1/4 mile. The ZR1 would be quite safe.

buy an extra memory card. there's a few more "little things" that I want to see myself. one of those "hard to describe the angle I want" things.

Yeah - I think it's only 2GB, and that's with taking small pics'. The camera's a Canon XTi 10.0 and has a zoom lense that I can see the next solor system with, lol. I'll come armed and ready. The quality is amazing!!!

ZL1 sounds good to me; unless it's a response to Ford's track-only GT500, lo... I can't justify paying more for less, even if it had 600 horse; well, that's debatable.

What kind of Mods' are we getting off topic like this?...

I think it's safe to say Z28, with LSA, could easily gain 200-300 lbs., without expensive exotic materials swapped in favor of some chassis/suspension pieces (i.e. aluminum/magnesium/titanium suspension pieces, forged aluminum wheels, etc.). All the extra plumming for the intercooler, fuel, larger exhaust, strengthened drivetrain pieces (i.e. clutch/flywheel, driveshaft, rear differential, rear axle, bigger tires/wheels, etc.) and I can see some cosmetic changes/enhancements.

It's still all speculation though I doubt we're going to see extreme measures we've seen on past Z06 models and such, like thinning glass, less sound deadening, etc.

The LSA weighs 50-75 lbs more than the LS3 ... I'm not sure that beefier parts will add another 200 lbs on top of that. The CTS-V weighs ~350 lbs more than the V6 cars and 150 lbs of that is engine. I'd be willing to say that the Z28 would gain at most 200 lbs, probably 150 unless they invest in some weight reduction.

That'd be SUPER sweet if you'd be right
