The only thing that makes the Z/28 NOT a DD is you can't even pull into, or out of, a slight angled uphill driveway without it becoming a scraper. If that spoiler on the front doesn't scream, trailered, track-only car, I don't know what does. And a parking lot curb would rip the dang thing off. Nice looking but impractical for the street, imo.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Z/28 and the ZL1. Given the deep discounts on the Z/28, it might be the best bang for the buck. But watch those curbs!

All external. Headers, cat delete with ZL1 out the back. CAI, pulleys and a wicked livernois tune. Shifts like a raped ape on steroids

I think I would have to question your 500+ hp ... Without going internal you will be under 500hp.

I'm not understanding you here? Why do you have a problem with the new Z/28?

It's not a daily driver.

How about a 2014 or 2015 1LE? Plenty of clean used ones out there, excellent handling for just slightly more than a standard SS. I've driven and owned many high performance cars, and love the feel of my 1LE.

So if given the choice to buy the Z/28, SS or ZL1 ... you'd buy the Z/28?

My DD is a Tundra Truck. I'm looking to buy a 2nd vehicle/toy, if you will. I like to tinker and wax/zaino my vehicles. I don't mind a garage queen that I can drive at midnight-this is how I meditate or a quick trip to Publix. The ZL1 and SS offers that possible DD option if I want that-which is cool. But the Z/28 seems like the most powerful Camaro produced today. Just my thoughts ...

If the Z/28 has the lowest stance, then how much higher is the SS or ZL1?

I DD a full size truck as well. Have the SS since all that was available at the time. If I was buying now Id look at a nice 1LE if you want something not so track focused (Z28) or if money isn't an issue wait for '17 ZL1

Welcome back!!

Personally I love the Z/28 because of the 7L. I adore my '14 SS and the cam really woke it up. Cam is a must if you stick with a 1/SS, 2/SS, or 1/LE. If you decide you want more, hands down ZL1.

Intake, exhaust, pulley, tune, be the fastest thing out 75/80% of the time and it be effortless.

I don't understand all the different models offered today ....

1SS ... 2SS ... SS ... 1LE ... 2LE ... 3LE -- It is confusing!

How do you deal with the No Spare Tire, No A/C, No Stereo, etc?
