As for the Z06 and the Z/28 (damn I'm glad the "/" is back! lol), they represent the soul of each platform, the Z/28 being a high-strung small block that has it's roots cleaning house in SCCA showroom stock racing. The Z06 is still true to it's roots from 1963 as a car that could take on Sebring (as a 327) and Daytona (as a 427 race car) with the best of them as a flagship road car.

As for the insane power levels, I'm just fine with it. Just think, one day we may have the entry level Malibu as a 400hp V6 with 35/50mpg and a ZR1 with 1000hp available sitting at the dealership, lol. I don't think any of the manufacturers will be happy unless they have the car with the most HP sitting on the lot, so it's going to be a HP war for a long time to come.
