...305's on the front, Holy smokes....those brakes, that gearing, that LS7...makes me sweat at night thinking what a blast it'll be wheeling this bad boy around...if, and that's a big if...I get a shot at it. And...that's my plan and I'm sticking to it.

To preserve the track-focused nature of the Z/28, it doesn’t have the strengthened differential and half shafts of the ZL1, and is not recommended for drag racing.

Or take everything on the Z/28 and remove the ceramic brakes you've now got about a $55,000 car and that is optimistic. Anything with the LS7 gets a huge price bump.

Man, this post is way beyond off topic. According to this idea the topic should not exist at all! One would hope the Z/28 could withstand a few hard launches. The Z/28 front sway bar might be thicker than both the ZL1 and the beefier 1LE bar. This is good for lots of spinning at the lights, not hooking. So I would say the drive train is pretty safe. The tires are grippy I am sure, but not as tied down as drag radials. This is why I will stick to my story of the Z/28 running low 12s and not 11s, and this with good air and track prep. But I bet the Chevy insiders already know. I have been two for two with the Z/28 so far: 1. I was very early calling for the then Z/28 to be called the ZL1. The ZL1 was the legendary Camaro top dog and the Z/28 while also a legend, was muddied with later versions and was never top dog. Chevy is positioning the Z/28 as the top track dog, as it should be. Probably even more focused than the original. Interesting now that the Z/28 will be the rarer car I think. 2. I knew and posted that the LS7 Z/28 was coming long before the announcement. This was very easy to figure out right here on these forums. Will I be three for three with low 12s or ? And I apologize for generalizing about road track focused people. I have only met a few. From what several of you have posted I stand corrected about ALL track focused enthusiasts looking down on drag racing. However just like Camaro V8 owners slamming V6 owners the impression might be common, just not universal. Kudos to those not judging! Respect. And here I am judging.

Norm[/QT Camaro5 is doing it, when I post it it looks normal. Did you try it, it works when I click on it.
