The Z28 is a redesigned version for SCCA Trans-Am 2 class. It has better aero, less weight, revised suspension settings, shocks, springs and antiroll bars. The nice thing is it has a proven itself to be fastest Camaro in current production on the track. On the street, it might not be the best choice. But who gives a crap about a few 10ths on the street. GM Milford proving grounds it laps 3 seconds faster than its next of kin.
Now It set the fastest time at Nürburgring for any American Production muscle car. So its not a slouch by any means, being damp, means more time is to be had. Way to go Chevy, bringing back product people might actually want to buy. Now please give us a mid-size RWD or AWD (not based on FWD platform) coupe or sedan. Great handling, a shifter, and the third pedal, know as a clutch. Decent fuel mileage in the low 40s, you guys can do it, so just do it already. |

No. Instead they will spend 100s of millions in advertising telling you what you should want, and it wont have a stick and it won't get good mileage. Detroit, especially GM, has never seemed to grasp the concept of filling needs. They seem to think it is our job to want the product. With all that said, I would buy an American car any day. But the 94 Escort I bought new still gets me around in winter, so I don't have to...yet. |
