Look, I even told people that the ZL1 would use chassis bracing.. I even said it would probably be the Convertible's "V" braces as it would actually reduce cost being that the parts are shared with another model....and ya'll said I was crazy..

"The Camaro's chassis is stiff enough to handle the torque"
and now those braces are going in.. and its a good thing. The advantages to having the entire chassis structure tied together will show in the handling performance. The "V" braces are heavy but that is the only way the ZL1 will out-perform the GT500 or the Boss 302 for that matter.

All I'm saying is, listen to the crazy guy every once in a while.
