Oh, heck yes!! My 98 V6 was harder to drive in slippery conditions than my Z28 because of this. If the auto shifted during a turn in the rain and you had just a bit too much gas than there was a chance of losing the rear end....I had to be extrememtly cautious in my V6.

Limited Slip Standard. No question.

 

Yeah, I also forgot to mention that the Formula is bad in crappy weather becasue of this deficiency. I was going to ask how the 3.8 Camaros did because I have never driven one, just the 3.4 that I used to own. And if the 3.8 had problems, them the new base car would have it worse.

 

During an interview with John Heinricy (F-car chief engineer), afew years ago...he said he was considering making available a 1LE type package on the base V6 4th gen.

I always thought that was a neat idea...eventhough it never saw fruition. I could imagine such a package really interesting autocrossers .....especially if they didn't want to spend the bucks on a *Z/28 1LE.



****EDIT: But of course we all agree that future Z/28's should incorporating all 1LE gear as part of "the package"........right?****

 

A little off topic...but I'd agree conditionaly...

If Z/28 is a purpose built performer/road racer than we also need a more "comfy" model to incorporate both equipment that people wouldn't want on a Z/28 type car and a suspension that isn't bone jaring.

 

I agree completely and unconditionally.
