That z28 sounds sweet, and is fast. Can they take 800lbs off it? Man that thing is fat.
Personally I'd probably pick it over the vette.

Impressive car...it did sound like a promo for the Trofeo R's at times though.

This is all good as it will raise the game and hopefully lower the prices for euro/asian autos.

Ive sat in the camaro.. not z28 of course.. is it me or the visibility of the front windshield was very "square/squashed" I guess it is something that takes time to get used to. B/t gtr and z28, i would pick z28. That thing sounds nice in the video

grasshopper, you are all wrong.
i ordered it for you alerady, since you just bought a chevy this week, add this to the list.

the int of Z28 is very nice and clean, AFTER you strip everything out.
the dash is simple and beautiful AFTER you put AiM PXL or Motec dash in.
good shocks

then go at it....

i plan to get one and put silly RS decal on it. i call it Z997.

Probably take out only like another 50 pounds tops---without stripping the inside.

For non street legal---cats, air pumps...and lightweight headers.

Strip the inside and might as well buy a kart.

take the Z28, Put in lightweight seats, lightweight wheels.
Give it headers,cheater cats and competition mufflers.

i would look under carpet for sound insulation and remove it too.

anybody else notice how much the wheels stick out past the fenders?

kart, sport racers, motorcycles, F1 are all faster but in my eyes, they are not cars. but i am jaded. dove a radical 10 years ago fast as hell, but i was bored. it wasn't a car to ME.

Kormaster has learned wisely and quickly from you Mooty.

He will swap 20's for 18's, carbon fiber doors, hood, trunk, roof, gut interior and save 468 lbs. He will figure out how to do all this for less than $3K.
