Depending on how they build it I can see it being much faster then even that.....

Though at this point I don't want to speculate on what the next Z/28 will pack as it really can pack anything. The last ZL1 Camaro coupe was 4,120 pounds and this new one is suppose to be about 3,920 pounds, the last Z/28 was roughly 300 pounds lighter then the old ZL1. Going based purely on that would suggest that the new Z/28 will weigh 3,520 pounds (though not likely IMHO), at that weight and with the improvements of the platform they could just make the same changes and be more then 5 seconds faster (even stick with the LS7).
