Good grief is all I can say after checking out that video! Sick, Sick Cars.

It will be interesting to see what an sixth gen SS can do against a base to tech pack GT350. Sadly, we probably won't see this tested by the magazines at least.

Wish I was rich so I could have a z28 and a 350r. Hardest decision would be what to take to work that day. haha

A base ss with a magna ride or stiffer springs would be a good comparison! I can't wait to see what an upcoming 1le can do! Pony wars :headbang:

Was that the hottest stock Z28 in the country? 105 degrees, 7% loss, putting out equal horsepower with a car with lighter wheels, 20 more horsepower and a more efficient transmission?

Well the R is 1.2 seconds faster than the Z, and the Z is 1.9 seconds faster than the 350TP. Seems like most were right. Tis a really awesome time to be us car guys/gals!
Yes the GT350r put the smack down. The problem is that gap will easily be closed by the 2017/18 z28. It's not wide enough for the GT350r to keep the crown if a future Z28 is in the works.

Another interesting metric; the Z ran a 12.3 at 116 matching its magazine time on an unimproved surface in the heat of the desert. At some point, even the chevy nut huggers have to admit when every clue points to an anomaly, it is one. I would love to see a 7% loss R in this matchup.

Dyno numbers vary widely. I wouldn't get caught up with the 7% number. Could very well be operator error. Just be happy two American Cars beat whatever else anyone can throw at it for the money.

The GT350 makes less power on 91 octane than 93. It's also going to be more sensitive to ambient temps than an LS7. I think the dynos were probably spot on for both cars. No trickery. That means the gap would've widened even more on our good Texas gas too. :)

Why in the world would chevy make another z28 when they had to discount this one by $25000.00 and they gave up on a naturally aspirated corvette

Look for a zl1 only

Gt350 owns this spot for awhile

I'm sure the next ZL1 will benchmark and overtake the R, but it will be supercharged, and NA is my thing. The LS7 will go down as my favorite GM engine, at least for a good while. Chevy has no high powered NA engine in the works as of now, and they're not going to build one just for a Z/28. The 2015 Z/28 and GT350 are the end of a high-strung NA era.

The next ZL1 will also gain at least 200lbs. over the base model 1SS. Heavier wheels and tires, bigger brakes, heavier suspension components, and the blower and supporting hardware. The C7 Z06 is 226lbs. heavier than the base C7. That would put the ZL1 at a minimum of 3,890lbs.
