Oh for sure longer the race the more each factor comes in to play. What might happen if one changed the stock brake pads out? Any improvement? (Pete'?) Depending on those 25 laps and how many long straightaways they have could also play into it...re heat soak I hear the z28 really runs hotter than the zl1 ... Not sure why but it was recently stated. Maybe al said it... Don't remember. Cost.... Issue sure will be interesting to see what this costs with any creature comforts. Wonder how many will NOT add a/c too. Those who do will likely add radio etc. Will 50% be purchased with optional equipment ? And if so will they track them ? This next summer will prove interesting. Especially to see what the 2015 model will bring. The likely cost premium in total will likely be quite limiting.

I think Paul Huizenga from LSXTV sums the Z/28's performance pretty well:
-''Chevy has hit the mark with the Z/28, though it might not be the mark your average Camaro fan would have aimed for in the first place. Some will say it goes too far, while others will say it doesn’t go too far enough. We think that Chevy has split the difference neatly, with a Camaro that isn’t so hardcore that it will revolutionize the way rich guys run out of talent, but will still provide a level of performance so high that most owners will really have to step up to reach it.

At this point it would make my year just to get a ride along. I have had dreams of Chevy bringing several to the fest in may for the ride 'n drive experience.

It cant be that close to the Z06 pricing otherwise it makes no sense. Its going to be right in the middle between the $55k ZL1 and the $75k Z06.
$65k base price with options at $70k.

The Z/28 is nice. Then there is the Lingenfelter Pedders L/28 dressed up, ready for SEMA and the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational (OUSCI).
Everyone should have a Big Brother to look up too |

Very cool! I'd love to see this and the Z/28 tested together.

The Z/28 aero is better. The Z/28 CC brakes should be better, but our Brembo setup with special pads should be good enough to hang in with them. The Z/28 is a momentum car on track. The L/28, IMHO, will out handle the Z/28. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Even if the handling were even, the L/28 would pull it on the straights more like a ZR1 than a Zl1. Let's call the Z/28 an 8 for handling and a 7 for acceleration compared to the best-of-the-best Pro-Touring cars. We run with the best-of-the-best from the Pro-Touring circuit so we'll call it a 9 and a 9. Why a 9, nothing is perfect. Pedders has a bi-polar relationship with GM. We help GM sell Camaros. We make Camaro news for GM and show the product to be incredibly capable. I also understand how some on the Camaro Engineering TEAM feel when we replace parts they have invested so much of themselves into. My post today is some what offensive to some. It shouldn't be. I cannot see GM releasing a 700 FHP normally aspirated engine with a full Chevrolet warranty at this time with current technology. They are not going to release a Camaro with a Quartermaster clutch. If you haven't driven a big cam high revving LS7 with an on off switch for a clutch, it isn't exactly a street car for most people. Some of us love it. Most would not tolerate it. The Z/28 is a production track and street star. The L/28 is a custom track star and street car for a select few. |

Sweet. Is that a wrap with RJT underneath or is it repainted?
