Also imo just focusing on 1/4 times compared to the 392 (nice motor btw) dismisses, all the tech, engineering, cost spent and FOCUS on what GM is aiming at with the Z28. For example you don't add $10k carbon ceramic brakes to be faster in the 1/4, you don't add 305 tires at all 4 corners for the 1/4mile, you don't add formula 1 type shocks for the 1/4mile... Etc... If all GM wanted to do was make a camaro with an LS7 then they would have made it an option for the camaro 1LE and called it a day, not to mention at least $25,000 cheaper. That was not their intention nor the consumer that actually buys a Z28. That's my 2¢...

Totally agree! The road course is where it shines!! Its very impressive! Im just saying i think it should be capable of an high 11 sec pass as it sits. Thats just my opinion though.
