LF3 to LF4 included one upgrade that would certainly be worthy of consideration on an "inspired" rev-crazy LT1 - ti rods, ala LS7. The rest of the recipe for 500+, as mentioned here and on GMI, has already been tested... Green-lighting it, at the risk of development AND potential assembly costs vs. LT4 is where the program would live or die.
I don't think there's a big market for another (single version) Z/28 @ $75K when the possibility exists for a mid-$50s (Base) GT 350. And, quite possibly, a weight-conscious LT4 version just might handle (no pun) BOTH a GT 350 and the potential GT 500.
Time will tell... |
If the GT350 at around the rumored $53K and the GT350R at the rumored under $60K can run with the Z/28 at $75K - GM will have a problem.
I can imagine a 6th gen Z/28 having comparable performance to the 5th gen Z/28 at much lower cost, for a whole host of reasons.
