Man, I saw a new post in the Z/28 forum and thought it was something new haha.

It's been real quite on the Z/28 front for a while. I'm guessing the car is pretty much finalized. Just waiting for the right moment to show it off.

Someone should make a poll so that we can guess the reveal date ...

Do we think the powerplant (vehicle) has to be street legal?

I don't think there will be much more discussion until we see more prototype pictures or the car is revealed.

I think it does ... but selling it as a track-only car is an interesting idea.

One cool extension of that would be to create a showroom stock spec racing series.

If the car is meant to be on a track and will be a low volume vehicle. Why worry about emissions? 2/3s of buyers will modify them in a way that would nullify emissions anyway.
A Track Only car would open lots of avenues for GM to go down.

Wasn't GM trying to do that with the Z51? I thought I remember them doing a presentation on some new racing class using C7 Z51s.

It is EASY to breathe on the LS7 a little and get BIG, reliable horsepower. All I did on my 08 Z06 was a cam, headers and a tune (home-made with HP Tuners) and I dyno'd 575 at the wheels on an OLD mustang Dyno. It would not hook up til I got to third gear. Katech 'Torquer' Cam and Melrose monster-flow headers without cats. A buddy and I did it in his garage in 12 hours.
