Had the Z-28 out tonight. Put ~10 miles on it and I am psyched. Didn't really get into it, but it's night and day. Pulls very, very, very hard 
The brakes and suspension parts work fine, very nice ride, handling, and stopping.
I think there's a Gear Vendors OD in my future though. 3,000rpm is slightly over 60mph with the street tires. I wonder if even with a 6,800rpm redline and the 27" slicks if I will have enough gear to get through the traps? With 10% slip, 6,800rpm would still be a little over 140mph, so I hope it's ok. We're going to put it on the dyno Sunday, so if all goes well, it's a wrap.
Just had to share.

G, does the 6th work for you? Dave?
Rich, great to hear on the car.....that is one beast of a drop top
I cant wait to ride in it!
Vince is gonna lay down that first LT1 8sec pass soon

I really hope I can make it. I will know this week. The car will be out and I'd love a chance to drive it. Though I may be deaf from an hour on the highway at 3,000rpm! There is a Gear Vendors unit in my future.
