I can see why the aftermarket street racing crowd doesn't like it, its essentially the same as a gt 5.0, the 3160 tremec is nicer than the mt82 but not any stronger as far as handling power (arguably much weaker), all the aero/coolers add weight and don't help for roll racing, and a tuned a10 gt will probably be faster than a tuned a10 mach 1. All for a lot more money, and the mustang community is heavily tied to that street mod scene. However as a stock car it's clearly better than any GT.

True, but still overpriced imo. Especially in retrospect.

I think that the Mustang crowd is a bit upset because some believed the fake news about extra HP. That's on them. Now as far as a Z/28(or Z28): the extension of the the Gen6 program makes a Z/28 possible. IF the Z06 comes with the rumored 5.5L N/A FPC engine that may be a candidate for the Z/28 engine (if it fits, obviously). The Z06 could be a 2022 model year, which would mean there COULD be a Z/28 with that same engine in 2023. If there was no Gen6 program extension, there would be no Gen6 Z/28. Again, those are a lot of if's, and obviously, pricing has to be right as well... |

They should have just called the ZL1 1LE a Z28 and been done with it

There would be an uproar of buthurtness if it wasn't NA... at this point I'll take them sticking an lt5 in a zl1 and calling it a z28.

Agree on the price however when released the Z/28 was more car for the dollar than either of the current GT500s. LS7 motor, DSSV, carbon brakes, and sub 7:38 second Nurburgring lap on very wet sections of track. Which was faster than the following cars (tested on a dry track) Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Ferrari 430 Scuderia, and Lexus LFA. Pretty damn impressive in my mind. Current GT500s are a fail when compared to their competition at anything but going fast in a straight line. I can see why Frod won't officially run these at the ring given their propensity for the tires to go off after a lap or two. The ring would really expose the GT500s chassis and weight issues. Don't believe it? Well, Gen 5 Z/28 ran a better Ring lap (again with wet sections) than 662HP 2013 Shelby GT500 on a dry track. Same Frod recipe as today's GT500s... big HP and compromised chasis, sometings never change do they?

Yeah just like the C7Z06 original butthurt and it still sold. Perhaps the ZLE would sell better if it was called a Z28 too???

I honestly would like to see a 1/4 mile version of the LT3, with some weight savings, 100 wear DR either Nitto or Nexen, auto with transbrake, GM performance shafts, I'd like the gen 5 "grave digger" diff.
