The more I think about it, the more I agree with BigAl...

It is NOT a z28.

The Camaro SS hits 0-60 in 4.6 sec
The new GT500 with 540hp (which is 114hp more) runs it at 4.3.
There is a point of diminishing gains in performance. I was reading Top Gear's review this month, they had the GT500, the Camaro SS, and teh SRT8 Challenger.
Camaro was the cheapest by 10 grand to the nearest car, yet posted some of the best times outsid eof 1/4 tot he GT500.
It would not take a lot to make the Camaro Z28, a true Z28, faster then a GT500. The only advantage for the blower is moddability.
I think that there should be two models...a ZL1, and a Z28.
Z28 is the Z06
The ZL1 is the ZR1.
