Features of a ZL1 NOT Required on a Z/28 - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

If so thats fine, I am sure they don't add on any significant weight.

I personally don't agree with not having the features listed not featured in the Z/28. I'd want the pdim, rear vision package, HUD, rear view auto dim, boston speakers, etc. But that's me. Those things can be apart of a package which is fine but it needs to be considered an option.

I can see the Z/28 being a separate line. Z/28 LS or LT package and a Z/28 SS package. For those who want a V6 they can get one for those that want a V8 with limited features they can do it.

I have a couple of problems with this, first off a Z/28 should NEVER be a V6 until CAFE makes it the only possibility. Second, let's not intertwine Z/28 and SS again, they should be seperate and distinct vehicles.

I read an interesting comment today...

Would a baby ZL1 and a Z28 be one in the same given the current lineup?

2cnd chance · 02-20-2012, 05:57 PM

That is a most definate YES!

Not sure I understand the meaning of that question. The original first gen. Z/28 was not a baby anything, it was it's own unique vehicle. It certainly wasn't a baby SS or a baby COPO or baby ZL1. I certainly think a new Z/28 should be a baby ZL1 in terms of price, it should fall firmly in $45K+ territory rather than the $55K+ territory of the new ZL1. I think a new Z/28 should be an excellent performer that pricewise fills the niche between the SS and ZL1, performance wise it should be closer to the ZL1.

Baby ZL1? Is that a Camaro with a 5.3L V8 force fed by a 1.5L supercharger, using a 2 coil MR suspension?

I was speaking in terms of today. Given that its most likely Chevrolet will produce a Z28 car using parts-bin stuff...I was curious if the Z28 nuts here felt a "baby ZL1" make a legitimate Z28.

I think the proper term is ZL1 "lite". All the performance without the heavy SC on the frontend aftertaste.

Ah, my mistake.

ZLite1.

On an unrelated note....you know, I STILL haven't been able to find a comparable weight listing for both the LS3 and LSA? I would LOVE to find that out...given they managed to improve the weight balance with the ZL1, it'd be fantastic to know!

Anyways...back to the Z28 channel:

DO EET!!

Well ... if you add 125 lbs to the front end, and 125 lbs to the back end its going to balance out.

I think that is somewhat true. That rear end I hear is heavy. Bombproof but heavy.
