Not for $2,500! Some strange advice here. I’ll pile on...sell all your cars and buy a boat.

This is another string but that Z28 is basically a high-powered track car. A Camaro buddy bought one because his Chevy dealer kept calling him to make a deal. He owned a business so they knew he had the cash and they could not get rid of the thing. They were priced as high as a Vette. The resale on them is crap! The ZL1 is a better car.

Definitely. I noticed we have a very similar setup except yours is nitrous

The reason those stood out to me as repros is because I had the same wheels on my car at one time(see sig pic below). Actually still have them but hey are not on the car anymore. I had them powder coated and they are for sale in the classifieds here. Those wheels on the car in the picture have a slightly different style than the OEs. There are also some reproductions that look almost exactly like the OEs but not as wide.

I'd keep your 13 ,it looks better in my opinion, unless if that 15 was an 1LE or an ZL1.

Thanks gives something to think about. For OP too and others who might like to upgrade wheels vs change cars.
I think it's cheaper to chrome what I have but if I pay $100 a wheel and not sure if they will bend them or the chrome will last might as well buy new wheels. I'm going to go with 19" aftermarket as you suggest.

I didn't take what he said to mean he doesn't like or respect the Z28. It's just factual that paying $75000 new for one and having it drop to $38000 now is a beating. I would add that it seems ZL1's and Z28's have held their value in the last year so buying a low mi used one isn't a bad idea financially if that's what you like.

Actually the Z/28 is the faster of the two.

427 over LSA anyday

Buy in a Z28 new was a bad idea. Now you can buy them for half the price with minimal use. I am hoping to get one in the next year or so if I can find a good deal

Faster around a road course, but a ZL1 will stomp a Z/28 in the 1/4.

Different strokes for different folks.

A Z/28 with FI, a big cam and e85 would be badass!

Yeah it would. Lots of cubes, great suspension, 300 lbs lighter than the ZL1... I'd go with the ZL1 for a straight up drag race though. On second thought, nah, I'll stick with my SS...the difference in the price tag will get me lots more goodies.

It would be something different, that's for sure. Going FI on a track car kind of defeats the purpose though. That thing would heatsoak, pull time and be in trouble.
