Only if you have a mullet.
Now if it was a Firebird...
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I had a mullet in the 80's does that count?

I still have my cassette collection does that cut it?
Well, I'll have to think on that. I had 8 tracks. I didn't get cassettes until the '80s. So, yes, cassettes are fine.

Next new car I buy I think I'll drive it to the local car audio place and get them to install a cassette deck...that should be good for a few laughs....the Z28 would be perfect as it is a radio delete car...
Once I asked about a cd and cassette player combo. I guess they don't make those anymore.

Its basically a ZL1 with a 2010 Zo6 engine with some aero tweeks. Not saying it isnt a fantastic car, but I think my Dart will hold its own against one in every catagory except creature comfort.
Mopar to the bone!!!

The Z28 is a little bit faster than the GTR but I bet it was due to the difference in tires. The GTR has 255/285 run flats while the Z28 runs 305 Trofeo R tires in a square setup. They are both pigs at 3800 lbs. I have the same trans and final drive as the Z28 though, I am going in the right direction

I hope you say this in jest. Why anyone would drop $75K on this car is beyond me, when anyone could buy any number of other cars for less money that would outperform a new Z28 - i.e. a used C6 Z06?
I don't think a used ZO6 is faster than this Z28 Camaro, I never came across a track test where a ZO6 is faster than a GTR. Plus I like a car with a back seat so I have a place to throw candy bar wrappers and empty chocolate milk containers when I'm driving.
I cant see how a 505HP 427 Vette wouldn't be faster in every way than a two-ton Camaro with a bunch ov tricks on it. No matter what you do to that Camaro, it will never be a true race car. If its even close, then put the same tires on the Vette and see what happens.
I'd love an LS7 Vette.

The Nissan GTR with AWD is even heavier than a 2014 Z/28. That car only has a V6...........
I want to see what Ford comes out with after the next generation Mustang is introduced. What will a newer version of a Boss Mustang be capable of?
