Give me NA please. And the Z/28 is so highly developed by the factory, other than maybe a LiON battery and titanium header-back exhaust, I have no desire at all to molest it. Just tool around town and set TT records as needed at the local SCCA events...lol

On a tangential note- Callaway "curiously" timed a raft of their PR to show up in internet search results a couple days ahead of the embargo end date for the Chevy Barber event and I personally thought that was...sleazy and really low-class. And what appears to be a sock-puppet has been posting for them on another forum. My Callaway impression has not been positive.

1:36 is fast!!!! It's going to get harder and harder to deny this car is real deal. I like it more and more. Now getting to full fledged want!

Like i said. Sleeper track car. I'm pretty sure Reese *** in his C7 with complete aero only did a 1:35 on hoosiers. And Reese drove world challenge too. A good driver in this car will be a force to reckon with, for just about anything IMO. Including Corvettes.

An aftermarket blower on the 7.0L LS7 that will be flogged on track is a recipe for disaster. Only get the Callaway package if you want bragging rights at the Zaino sponsored car shows.

Really loving this new Z/28. Here's hoping GM applies some of the "know how" and desire to a track focused version of the C7 and I'm all-in.
