The Z28 is gonna be more of a track car then a DD..beast no doubt but the thing doesnt even come standard with A/C and the price will be around $60k which is wayyy out the price range
haha ninja you would freak out at what some of my people have driven around in if you think the z/28 is too extreme.... I've seen people drive around with completely gutted cars with one seat, dumped exhaust, and slicks and skinny's.....
I feel you I'm a Camaro man but the new Mustang is all around a better car IMO which makes me
. My first car bought on my own though and I love it. Going to be doing some work on it in addition to the plastidip; adding some color changing halos and an aftermarket HUD system. Last will be the wheels and rims cause these damn tires are too expensive.
Yeah I feel you.... Its not gutted imo but it lacks a lot of creature comforts that we have today...
It's basically the same as an SS but minus the following:
To optimize the track performance of the Camaro Z/28, the engineering team subjected it to an intensive lightweighting program, saving 100 pounds (45 kilograms) compared to the naturally aspirated Camaro SS and 300 pounds (136 kilograms) to the supercharged Camaro ZL1.
“We looked at every subsystem for opportunities to save weight,” said Oppenheiser. “Our goal was to get rid of everything that didn’t make the car faster, and keep only what was required by law. For example, we wanted to eliminate the audio system completely, but we had to keep a single speaker for the seat-belt chime to meet safety requirements.”
Other examples of weight savings include:
Eliminated the tire-inflator kit, except for Rhode Island and New Hampshire, where it is required by law
Removed interior sound deadener, and carpeting from the trunk
Replaced the standard LN4 battery with a smaller, lightweight, LN3 battery
Specified thinner, 3.2-mm glass for the rear window, compared to 3.5-mm glass on the standard Camaro
HID headlamps and foglights are not available
Air conditioning is only available as a stand-alone option
I know the seats are different as well....
That LS7 though....

to all you legitimate car geniuses:
how much of difference does 300 or even 100 pounds make in regard to short distance speed? I read on some c63 forums about people trying to make their cars lighter so they do stuff like removing the spare tire to get rid of 25 pounds in the trunk and whatnot...does it make enough of a difference for anyone to do?
300! yes that will make a noticeable difference, 100lbs will too just not as much. I know people who remove the back seats, spare tire and jack and to lose some real weight people take out the a/c. These are pretty inexpensive ways to make the car quicker without spending money to add power.
2012 LS wanted to get the LT just for the on dash HUD
