What will Chevy call the lightweight, stripped down, souped up, track hound Boss competitor, if/when they waste the Z/28 moniker on the fat boy "Chevy CTS-V"?

440hp, 7500rpm+, lighter, way more track oriented than GT.

Rumor has $36k price on Boss 302. Not many luxury options though.

Main option pack: Recaro race buckets + torsen differential.

I'd be interested, depending upon price. Maybe 450hp N/A 5.0, some lightening, stiff road race suspension - that'd be cool.

Wish Chevy would do THAT with the Z/28, rather than some gaudy, 4000lb...

Are the Brembos all the way around on the SS, or front only, like apparently 2011 GT is?

SS Brakes - any problems with warping or pad disintegration?

One thing that concerns me about both the Mustang GT and Camaro SS is that they both put a LOT of stress on the front brakes. I read one review of the 2011 GT that said that at one point they had...

Looks like the 'stang is a speck faster, but as others have said; driver's race.

Stock 135i vs stock L99 = even race.

Either one modded vs stock opponent, mods win.

Stock 135i with Dual Clutch Transmission vs. stock L99 = 135i wins.

LS3 spanks 'em both.

If you need a back seat, then Camaro.

If you don't, then Corvette. There's ZERO ways to justify Camaro over Corvette if performance matters and you don't need a back seat.

Curves? NO WAY. Not even close, despite the fact that Audis are PIGS in the curves (excepting R8). The only reason the Camaro has better 'ring time is that 2.0 MILE straight.

You'll have no problems as long as the pavement is DRY (no snow/ice/slush). IF there's ANY, and I mean more than a dusting, don't do it.
