I agree, Jason, Good points made. We got the camaro back and that is what is important. The great thing is that there is one for everyone's liking and budget

No. Well...not really.
Granted, I say we as in the majority of the voices out there. In addtion we cannot have everything that we want just the way we want it. However, If history repeats itself, the Z28 name won't be forgotten. I mean...what else is left? Is anything on the radar to directly compete with the Boss 302?

At the last disciple meeting last summer, one of the engineers CTF cars had that steering wheel on it. I sat in it and got a feel for it. Not bad. Doesn't quite fit the rest of the interior...but slightly larger in diameter and felt pretty good.

I think you can safely add around 250 lbs. For comparison, a Magnacharger unit with intake and fuel rails by itself weights 75 pounds or so.
Some work was done to reduce some weight as well.
