I believe they come with the P-Zero Corsa's, which are tech. an R-COMP tire. But the Boss LS doesn't have a square setup (255's Front/285's Rear). I think a 285 all around would help the Boss tremendously, but the technology sinked into the suspension of the Z/28 wil keep the Boss LS far away IMO. I know this is a Mustang forum, but GM has the best suspension products out there for a car company for their performanc oriented cars.

$75k for the car, plus $10-20k for dealer mark up. Add interest and you could easily have a $100k Camaro. Geez, that's nuts to me.

Correct on the Corsas. I chimed in too soon.

Z/28 is badass, but clearly a street legal race car, and not a racy street car.

I don't think you can compare any boss to this, Live Axle vs IRS...

A lot of people complaining about a 75k Camaro, those same people probably are not the crowd GM was targeting. If I had the money I would buy one without a/c and all the other good stuff. You can easily get 600whp out of a LS7.

Exactly.

I readily admit, even if I could afford this car, I would not buy one because I am not the one of the target audience. This is like those stripped out Lotus cars that are also pretty expensive. Excellent track cars but, not something you really want to drive daily.

I said long ago. The 305's are the reason for handling. Cars 1/4 is mehh at best. Like I said I think ford has better engines. When the playing field is equal the acceleration numbers don't lie and the new stang is gonna deliver the rest of the puzzle.

The z/28 is impressive, no doubt, and I'd love to tear around a road course in one but it's never been my choice, visually. I'd also hold out to see what Ford is going to do with the new 2015 IRS and Boss. (unless I'm way behind on things) I was super impressed by the Fiesta and Focus ST's so I know Ford can build a rival to the z/28.

Here is the link to the recent road/track test to Motortrend's YouTube review. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbdhNc_36Kc

I love my Mustang (and would love to challenge and lose to a Z/28), but this thing is out of the Boss's league. The Boss was targeted between the GT500 and the GT. Ford isn't bringing the Boss back, but I am sure a track targeted edition is coming out but not at the level of the Z/28. Don't get me wrong, I still love the ponycar wars that are going on and can't wait for Ford's response but I'm sure the GT350/Mach 1/SVT Cobra or whatever the top dog is going to be called is targeted straight at the ZL1 for all around performance.

I think Chevy did this just to flex their muscles and give a last hurrah to the LS7. This Z/28 challenges the GTR, which is regarded as the giant killer (at $115k+) so to me the Z/28 is a bargain.
