Said something about weight being ~3,750
My mind cant comprehend this. It would also point to the Z/28 being top dog.

Yes it would, which, as i have said for the beginning, i don't really care about. i am much more interested in the performance specs than the name.
One part I am confused about is the point about 3 V8s. It says one is the s.c 6.2, but then it says there will be 2 base V8s, one automatic and one manual, both over 400HP... that part is confusing. At least 3 V8s one of which is the S/C... so are they saying that the auto and manual are the other 2 V8s? The way it is worded makes it seem as though the auto and manual will get different V8s, not that the auto/manual tranny will be an option on all V8s.
Anyone else confused by that statement?
