It was also 300 pounds lighter, totally stripped out interior carbon ceramic brakes Trofeo tires DSSV suspension set up and cost 20K more than the ZL1 at the time.

Against the ZLE it may only be down 50HP but if the rumors are true it would also be down 180 lb/ft of torque.(last rumor has the 5.5 FPC at 600 HP and around 470 ft/lbs) ZLE already has the DSSV suspension set up, extreme aero, sticky tires. The ZLE already has a lot of the stuff the 5th gen Z/28 had that gave it its advantage over the ZL1.

I just think they would need to drop to much weight from it add to many go fast parts that it would cause the price to skyrocket and from a business stand point it makes no sense is all. Also how much better would/could it be and at what cost.
Your Wright, from a business stand point it makes no sense at all, but some times you need to do whats Wright, and whats Wright is to build the best Z/28 they can in a N.A. car, they where testing it some time ago, now with the new motor they can make a car they can rest there hat on, last of the "4 seat" fast cars. i will buy that before the Zo6 if its up to me.
