Yep, we need a functional heat extractor hood on our Z/28 along with ambient air feed. I am not looking for ram air or anything like that, but a true external air feed. I wonder if GM would consider coating the inside and outside of the cast exhuast manifolds to help control under hood temps with our LS7?

I prefer an NA car for a track car. period. as for the LS7. . .I don't want it. with the proper tune it would be fine but knowing my luck I'd do something and then have it blow up in my face. ie my 98 camaro leaned out and threw a rod. at least it ran a 12.5002 at 111.9 before it blew. no power adders. |

The TT-LS6 used ACP's carbon fiber World Challenge double vented hood...STILL an issue for it. Heat wrapped everything in sight...STILL an issue...double-coated headers/exhaust...STILL an issue...on a 75 degree day! Desert SouthWest? Forget it...Firebird, Laguna Seca, LVMS...you'd think the thing would MELT! Easy 100 hp drop-off...

Might have to add employees. That should push the unemployment % in the right direction. So building the Z28 is obviously the right thing to do.

YeZ love iZ blind!
Yes, Anything I can do to push the idea of a 5Gen Z28 into the realm of possibility I'll continue to do it. I'm trying to be as reasonable as warranted, but I want one! |

It just occurred to me there is HISTORICAL PRECEDENCE for Camaro receiving a mass-marketed engine ahead of Corvette. Anyone remember?
Yup...1967, the Camaro's inaugural year. The soon-to-be mass-marketed engine? The 350. Fully TWO MODEL YEARS ahead of Corvette. GEN-5 V8 Camaro-bound? Z/28-bound? Stay tuned... |
