Z34? How in the hell is a Lumina > Camaro?
But even after all those cars are gone and mostly forgotten the spirit of the Z/28 lives on.


I suspect the SuperSport name will too no matter what they put it on.
A lot of people do the Z/34 > Z/24, It was not intended to be a guage of performance... otherwise the Z/85 truck would be > than the Z/71 and both would be better than the Z/29 ( could not even pretend to put Z/28 there )

the Z code, typically refers to a suspension/ performance package, but they are not intended to be ranked Z/71>z66>Z51>Z34>Z26 etc

Anyone remember what the Z51 is/was?
