As a real car guy, you HAVE to respect and love what Chevrolet's engineers have done with the Z/28, and the fact that GM management would be SO BALLSY as to APPROVE such a car for production. I say this bodes incredibly well for the C7 Corvette program because it tells us what might be coming down the pike for Corvette.

For those guys who are not Camaro guys, take a second and look into the details of Z/28. It is not just a Camaro with the LS7 from the Z06 in it. The engineers went bat crap crazy on this thing, and it is a hard core gear heads wet dream. THIS is what I want done for the next Corvette Z06. A road race race car that is barely street driveable. Oh, LORD, I would lose my freaking mind.....

Sounds like a GREAT car purpose built for other than DD or cross country touring.

The physicists are still studying it to determine if the apparent result is even theoretically possible so no, not released yet

Schweet! Super nice ride!!! I love the LS7 as well!

I wish they would offer the beautiful flat white paint job as in this video.
