to hold interest, me thinks GM will drop the price on the Z28 closer to match the new GT500/SRT Hellcat range..just watch.

I still think the Z28 is a better car. The Z28 is almost on par with a GTR on the track..straight line maybe not, but a child can go fast in a straight line, add corners and the story changes. Getting 700+ HP to the ground around corners is a tough challenge even for professional racing teams. 700 HP death on wheels IMO. Z28 is a very well balanced car, add a supercharger and it still will be an amazing track car.

Fixed it for you. No need to supercharge a Z/28 when the LS7 has plenty of potential left in it.

I doubt it. Z/28 is not designed to compete with the likes of GT500 and Hellcat equipped Challengers. It's its own niche at the moment.

And let's remember,.....when doing auto-x and road racing,..you don't need gobs of horsepower. Torque is good, but you really need KILLER suspension, KILLER tires and KILLER brakes.
And,....the Z28 has all 3.
