Can you explain in detail why it needs a Supercharger in particular?

If it had a moon roof/sun roof you'd lose your tin foil hat every time you went fast...just sayin...

I was about to say the same thing, so to you, sir. The only absolute must-have's for a Z28 should be improved handling, improved power, and a price that's competitive with the GT500. Anything else, like having or not having a sunroof, is up for debate.

Also, severe winter weather is only a problem for maybe half their market. The other half has enough decent weather in winter that it doesn't really matter. And I would be willing to bet that GM (and their parts suppliers) would prefer for Z28 sales to get strung out so they can cope with demand better. I would absolutely hate to be waiting for years to get a Z28, order it in June, then find out there is a 3 month wait to get one. By the time it arrives in my driveway, summer is over.

Okay to clarify it:
3) must have a moonroof option And like I said: these are all reasonable requests - they're not unprecedented. All of them are available on the SS, except for the handling but fixing that is a reasonable enough suggestion on a GT500-killer. And yes Spring 2011 would be nice, but at least get it released by the beginning of summer - please?

I'm assuming that stripes will be standard (or obviously at least, optional), but if they are standard with the Z28, I really hope they offer a stripe delete option. Stripes are nice, but I greatly prefer the look of a clean, solid color car.

I assume that like the Z06...there will only be a hardtop version if all the LSA/LS9 fans get there wish. If those of us that prefer an LS7 car there might be a chance, but i still would rather see an LS7 car that handles like/better than a ZR1/Z06. Then chevy can follow suit like Ford, and have SLP offer a supercharged LS7 car, much like SLP tweaked the 4th gen Z28's into the top dog offered by the General. I would love an LS7 with a raspy camshaft, and longtubes with old school chambered exhaust, center exit would be different looking.

I would love to see a nod to the Z28 heritage with an under rated LSA that is putting out 600HP with a 556HP published HP rating...

I always think it funny when one person tries to "tell" GM what they must have. Not everyone wants the same thing.

I don't know if it's been said, but Sun/Moon roof's are usually put in aftermarket. You can easily get them done somewhere outside of GM for around 900$

Instead of being a smartass, why don't you point out which option exactly is unreasonable? Everything I asked is logical and reasonable, and available on the SS (except the handling).

helmet hits the roof in a moonroof so no hole in the top , lighter weight , coilovers, supercharged forged LS7 or LSA. and 3.73 rear gear.
