That's how much better the alpha chassis is.
I'd go for a GT350R a long time before a Z/28. It's cool what they did with the Z/28, but that was truly a car just for the track.

no shit, the entire thread is about track capability.. the ac & radio delete was the advertised curb weight special, most were ordered with both options and I doubt you'd notice the difference. The ride is purposefully stiff, in a good way and not unlivable. I'd bet many here put up with a harsher ride from bilsteins & lowering springs on their 3'ers.
The 350R came later and was designed to outperform the z/28, no surprise there. The ZL1-1LE is faster yet but loses some of the charm of the z/28. Feels like it weighs 6000lbs, sounds worse, and is even harsher due to heim joints everywhere.
Have you driven all 3 or are you just comparing magazine reviews? again, the z28 would be awesome if it wasn't a Camaro.
