To each their own, as they say. Personally I have no interest in buying anything else at the moment. My Z does it for me more than the New Camaro, or any other car. Of course the new Challenger is dead sexy (damn it hurts to say that).. but luckily it looks to be a pig so I am still content with what I have.

 

I personally dont see the challenger becomeing a major threat mainly becouse of the HUGE dealer mark up thats going to be on them.....And the fact that it's only offering will be a V8 which will kill sales.

 

I wish the F-Body was V8s only... haha... look at the Corvette, V6s sales are not needed if the car isn't built to be a mass market machine.

 

then what would be the point of the corvette....the f-body isa vette ina different skin with some other changes mainly rear end.....

 

I know... poor mans vette... it had to die...

 

yea, plus you wouldnt be able to get a nice LS1 today for $12K if they didnt make the V6s. They would probly cost alot more.

 

Wouldn't have bothered me one bit.

Some of (no offense v6 guys) realize the F-body is a peice of trash with a gift under the hood...take away the gift and I would never have purchased one in my life.

 

No offense taken, but I have a different take on my car. I love it for what it is. Sure I could have gone the 1/4 mile a couple seconds faster and gone around that corner .35 seconds faster if I would have gotten a Z28. But I really like my car and Have alot of fun with it. Somday Ill get my C5 and have alot of fun with an LS1 too. But for now im loving what I have.

 

For some different perspective, GM rated my '02 Z28 at 310 hp, while if you go to nhra.com and look around you can find tables of power ratings of stock cars, and nhra rates my '02 Z28 at 349 hp.

As I understand the differences, in 01 they changed to the ls6 intake but put a milder came which mostly evened out. Any difference in factory power ratings between models was mostly for marketing, but maybe a couple ponies for a different cat-back and lid, which nobody keeps stock anyway. By the way, my Z, about as stock as you get with a lid, kn, and catback, and it was the only time I ever went to a drag strip, with my manual tranny, I ran like 6 13.4's at 106-107.

Also, some people say how the 10bolt rears are weak, but mine is the original with 99k miles on it and god knows how many times I've powershifted through to a 3rd gear chirp, and my rear still works mint.

 

can someone look at my sig and tell me why that code is showing up instead of my sig pic? then I'll just delete this message, thanks.
