I am pretty excited to see one of the Z-28's or a 1LE's on the track in stock-ish trim, but I think those z-28 wheels are terrible.

I fear it'll be a $60K car with all those expen$ive features.
I like how they're building it in the 'spirit' of a lightweight, nimble car. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) |

Looks a little ugly to me, love the looks of the ZL1 and 1LE much better.
I can't quite figure out why they didn't just call the ZL1 a Z28, keep the LS3 for the SS and the cruiser types, and then use all the lightening measures and LS7 on the 1LE. Now THAT would be a track package to drool after . . . |

Even 300 lbs less than the ZL1 it still weighs 3820 lbs. How long will a set of brake pads, rotors and tires last at that rate? You think you could get 10 laps out of it?

You think you could get 10 laps out of it? Remember, it has 15" carbon ceramic rotors, so pad/rotor life should be extended significantly. THAT you get with that estimated (by me) $60K unit price. 3820#?!? That's approaching the weight of our 96 Impala SS!!! I guess all those airbags provide additional ground-hugging weight.

I would be curious to see what one of the Z-28's would weigh if it was delivered in a package similar to the Boss 302.

Hope GM has the valve issue fixed on the LS7! If not, a lot of Z28 owners will be very disappointed in their "track ready" car!
