Okay i'm getting into the market and i know i'm looking for a 98+ z28 or trans am with a 6. I like the looks of both (trans am slightly more) but i'm having trouble deciding. One thing that bothers me about the trans am is the popups, comparing the z28 and the trans am on the highway, is the trans am at a disadvantage because of the increased drag aka headlights on? I need suggestions!!

 

neither one will show a difference on the road.

performance is identical

go with what you like better or can get optioned like you want.

 

One time at the track my father forgot to turn off his popups and he ran a 14.9@92 that run vs his othe run of 12.8@113

 

True story, I was there.

 

yup sho nuff 21mph difference!

 

Why would you need headlight at the track
And I highly doubt that the lights being up made that much of a difference.
Cooler temps at night means more power but less traction .

 

swear to god? say swear to god!!

 

Something else must have been different the lights can hold it back that much, thats excessive!!!!

 

But not right now, right now. Maybe later, later later.

 

Um, no. The pop-up lights don't make a big difference. Performance between the the two vehicles should be identical...all things being equal.
