The new Z/28 vs. BOSS 302 On Track

[Grant 302]

That's great, but if we had the same specific output we'd only have 322/297.

I was also surprised by the numbers.

Not as efficient as the coyote/roadrunner.

The Z/28 is now available at "Geiger-Cars", one of the largest dealers of American cars in germany. The price is announced at 98.000 Euros, about 133.000 US$. The price of my 2013 Boss last year was 56.000 Euros, about 76.000 US$.

2 valve pushrod motor so it won't have the V/E of a 4 valve canner. My car is making those horsepower numbers but only 395 torque. Would love to have 7 liter Coyote headed beast.

It's not $33K faster here and definitely not $57K faster there. :

Is there really any more reliable comparison data than this?

Seen this many times....It just doesn't get old!!!! ;D

Very similar to the video from RA.

It's like watching gun camera footage, twisting and turning, then the tracers hit home and bam, smoke and a spin. :'(

I used to.....

Then we had an aircraft shot down in the Sangin valley a few years back. Killed six.

It changes you..

I think so, too!

Unfortunately, 7 liters isn't gonna happen on the current 4" bore center modular tooling. Well, not without going to some unusually over-stroked dimensions with a super tall deck height.

My son said my video is too long to "go viral" so he edited it down to just over a minute. What do you think?

[Fat Boss]

I like it. ;D

 

[Grant 302]

Your son is right. The internets are impatient. The short version could even be the last 20 or 30 seconds for embedded viewing. Then post a link to the longer version. I think you'd see the difference in views right away.

Sort of related, but saw a new Z28 at local Cruise night and my gawd does that car have wide rubber on it. The front 305/30's are amazing and the CF Brakes are really cool....some pretty expensive hardware to be sure....

 

[VoodooBoss]

An update on this matchup. Filip @ CorteX is trying to put together a test of a 2014 GT TP with his Xtreme Grip kit and big fat sticky tires vs. a Z/28. The test will be conducted by an impartial professional driver. Probably Joe Foster => just kidding. ;D Not sure when it will happen but you can bet there will be plenty of video.

 

[TMSBOSS]

The GT TP and mods should be a bit cheaper that the Z/28.

Got to love the new muscle car era!!! ;D

 

[300AGT]

I think you all get a laugh out this (tracking a Z/28) this happens .

LMAO I thought on track communications were reserved for pit crews?

 

[Grant 302]

Ha! I was annoyed when my brother called about meeting me at the track when I already texted him my run group times...and it interrupted the lap timer app on my fastest laps of the session

I've only seen Z/28s at cars n coffee so far.
Today:
