Make Z28 a wheel/tire/suspension/braking package. If you buy an RS and check the Z28 box, you get the above package. Make it cool with Bilsteins and Brembos and a beefier rear end and better springs and such. This is somewhat in keeping with what the Z/28 package really was - a roadracing package.

RS's get the base suspension and the mid-level V8.

The only way to make a Z28 out of an RS is to order the Z28 suspension package. Then you have a Z28 and you avoid the rest of the options associated with the SS.

If you order an SS, you automagically get the Z28 suspension and the highest power V8, and ALL SS's are BY DEFINITION Z28's.

There. Then we're both happy. You get your Z/28, I get my SS, and life is good all the way around.

Also, you could make the Z/28 package available for the V6 cars, but in that case you wouldn't call it Z/28 since that would be kind of an insult to the tradition of the nomenclature.

Call it the "Whiz-bang cool X11 sport suspension package" or some such bu!!****. Just keep all the parts except for the wheels common. Z/28 should mean special wheels and wide tires... Maybe the SS wheels are available in chrome and the standard Z/28 wheels are not. Keep the dimensions the same either way.



Switch to coffee and Marlboros. They keep me calm and collected so that I can win friends and influence people with my easygoing and conservative demeanor.
All I know is, you're beginning to use the slash. You know what that means...the assimilation has begun.
