Good pulls!

Z28 was a bit disappointing for being a tuner car.

Probably because the Z28 had stolen parts on it. That, and the fact that it's a track car and not a roll car.

Well.....we know the other cars were boosted. What i can't understand is why no one runs a na 5br0 ....oh wait. Yea i do.

I always found most tuner cars to be a joke. Z28 held up good considering.

So an HCI LS7 super camero isn't enough to take out a 5.br0 or a fatcat with a baby TVS?

I'm not convinced that this kit would be enough ether. lol

Buying a z/28 for straight line racing is silly.

If you buy a Z28 for anything other than aggressive cornering, you have done it wrong.

Gotta chime what others are saying, why the hell are you roll racing in a car built specifically for the road course? Jesus people... total ******* waste of money.

They ran a train on the Z28... I know it's a road course car but damn lol, a HCI LS7 should be putting some good power down. I expected it to hang a little better.

So....who says the owner of the Z28 doesn't road race too?

Y'all are making it sound like a tuner LS7 is **** for straight line speed....

When it's done by Hennessey it is. I wouldn't let them touch my car with a 1000 ft pole. Well, I don't let anyone do that to begin with, but especially not those thieves.

Well, Hennessey sucks, but the car is boxing out of its weight class to begin with. It's making significantly less power than the other cars lol. It does sound like I'm trying to defend the 5th gen, but I couldn't care less about them or the fact that it's a Chevy. Just saying I think it's a waste of gas to use the Z/28 in that way. Not every has to agree with me

The ford fanboi in you only hears what it wants to hear. Nobody said an HCI ls7 is ****, we're saying that if you want to build a camaro for straight line racing then starting with an $85,000 camaro with 300 lb brakes is silly. Might as well start with a base SS and go from there since it's all just LS stuff anyway.

So....you are saying that an HCI LS7 sucks unless it's in a lighter weight platform like the C6Z.

Thanks for the clarification Hamma.
