New Your Auto Show Video
I watched the last few minutes of the GM live showing of the new 2014 cars, including the SS the C7 of course and the last car they unveiled was the new Z28. They said that this is a track ready car and that is not drag strip, but road course. It comes from the factory with the carpet and padding removed from the trunk thin light weight glass in the rear window, no A/C No radio and the LS7 rated at 500HPgive or take a few HP.
Here is my question. The C7, which is the American sports car icon comes with all the whistles and bells heavier then the C6 and a 450 HP engine. Something is a little off here in my opinion.

I see nothing wrong. The C7 base isn't even for sale yet. Maybe wait a year or two and see if there is a specialty version coming out.

So, it is now the 4th MY of the new Camaro and they now come out with a track version specialty car and you want to equate that to the C7 base which doesn't even come to dealers for 6 months?

GM has offered a COPO Camaro for the past couple of years(for the drag strip boys). This one is for the road course boys.

No, but I know the Camaro is no light weight, but I like that they are at least making an attempt to get some weight out and besides if you are a Camaro lover and want a track car why pay for A/C and a big stereo unit. If you watch the video, he also mentions acid dipping, but I don't think he was referring to the new Z28, but more about the old Z28 Trans Am cars.
