Re: slow? The Z28's horsepower was always underated.It managed 5.3 0-60 times and 13.7's in the 1/4. The GTO is reportedly 5.5 0-60 and under 14 seconds in the 1/4. Although the HP is rated at 350 and the TQ at 360 the GTO weighs a whopping 400 lbs. more, 3,725 vs. 3,306.

Re: slow? This car is a good idea. As fast as the last ss camaro's but with much more refinement. Im not looking for another ruff, harsh car. A new Gto with a mild engine package and a Whipple blower would be sweet, easy to handle abd feel like a three series BMW with some corvette like *****.

Re: slow? The bottom line is that your getting a LS1, this means that the possibilities are endless. Picture a heads and cam package with a little Nos system.
