The Z28? I doubt it, unless Chevy changes the Z28 philosophy in 2017. Z28 is the non forced induction Camaro. It's fast, don't get me wrong about that but it isn't the ZL-1 Camaro.
It has close 100 less hp than the NSX and I believe the weights are similar.
0-60 for the to Z28 is 4 and the NSX is 3.5 I believe
Aww yisss, bench racing has made its way into this thread.
Well we should get an answer at some point soon. I'm sure we'll get a lap time for the NSX and the Z28 around the 'Ring and then we'll know.
Side note, fun ride home! Brake pedal went to the floor, had a small amount of rear brake. Using P brake and being careful I made it home. Looked under the truck when I got home and saw brake fluid dripping from the front passenger side. Nice. Line must have let go.
I don't know who came up with the idea of separate systems for the front and rear brake lines but the guy in the Caddy in front of me said thanks, or at least he would if I informed him he almost got slammed.
Anyways, there's the Grand Prix of Indianapolis is this weekend. It takes place at the old USGP circuit at IMS. The CrapWagons are running a modified version of the F1 track.
I thought the Z/28 was the top Camaro, maybe because Motor Trend did a comparison with the Z/28 and Mustang GT350R.
In the beginning the Z28 was more of a track oriented package, hence the Z28's in Trans Am. The ZL-1 was a special COPO engine option in '69. It was ***** out straight line performance meant basically as a factory backed but not really factory backed drag race special.
I'm guessing they put the Z28 against the 350R because the 350R is based on the Shelby 350Rs that were campaigned in the 60s in SCCA events and were basically the reason the Boss 302 was created for Trans Am racing in the late 60s. In other words the Z28 and 350R were rivals before the Z28 and Boss 302 became rivals.
"What we have achieved so far is not ideal, if you purely look at the end result, but that’s not always very truthful. For sure we can do a better job, we’ll keep pushing and try to make up the best of every race. As a team we know what we are doing and that’s the important thing.
"I think the next grand prix will be a good one for us, so here in Barcelona, Monaco, even Canada should be a little bit better than what we did in China and in Russia in terms of layout. Yeah, we have some high hopes for us at the moment to keep this momentum and keep growing together to more competitive positions and yeah, I think we have some updates for this race in terms of aerodynamics, most of them. We’ll see how the weekend goes but we are probably much more optimistic than one month ago.
McLaren have indeed confirmed a large number of updates to be fitted on their MP4-31, including a new front and rear wing, an updated floor and modifications on the brake ducts. All these are aimed at improving aerodynamic performance. Mobil on the other hand will be introducing a new fuel formula to improve combustion efficiency.
Honda meanwhile continues work in improvements and is set to use its first tokens roundabout the Canadian Grand Prix, a popular track to introduce engine upgrades as the power sensitive Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve usually brings the introduction of new engines. Mobil 1 is similarly working on reducing internal friction in the Honda power unit, an area where the companies believe they can still make great strides as their programmes started later than the other engine suppliers in Formula One.
Stranded on freeway. Fire and glowing bits came out exhaust after car sputtered. I just changed dizzy 15 min prior and set timing while using a timing light.
Any ideas welcome. Waiting for a friend with AAA but she's an hour out. Was scared for a bit that the car would catch on fire. Car turns over sometimes starts and idles but dies when I give it gas.
State trooper pulled over to check on me. That was nice of them. They also did a visual search of my car to make sure I wasn't up to no good. "For their safety and mine." They treated me with respect and were professional.

You set timing where it was supposed to be I assume, correct?
Did you check to make sure the dist was still bolted down tight?
