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?
um, it's alittle more than that I would think, what's the cam and gear selection look like?
A fully loaded TA Vert weighs 3800+, yest still runs 13s all day. do it's more than just the weight.

I would think it would be like comparing the LT1 Caprice to the LT1 Camaro. Both formidable cars. I can't wait till one hits the streets in my town so I can see for myself.

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 *****.

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.
