Agree on the ATS chassis. The This thread is basically a rehash of my ongoing thread, but With the improvements in suspension in this chassis. The upcoming weight reduction in the other chassis. And the LS7 is now part of the camaro lineup... Wow, from a consumer based perspective, guys can go on ugly looks all day and other negative tangents... Opinions are like azzholes...

But from the performance enthusiast perspective. As this car gets older. It's dropping it hard on the competition when it comes to power and suspension. The new chassis will only take it to new heights... On this current chassis,The Z/28 is 500hp and around 3800lbs or less. So this thing has a similar power to weight ratio as a GT-R without the use of turbos. Imagine going FI on this bytch.
Only issue with going FI on the new Z28 is the use of the LS7. This could prove to be problematic if you are not happy with its NA numbers. The LS7 has thin cylinder walls and high compression. Not good at all for boost since they are prone to blowing up stock. See early issues with LS7. There is a reason why they supercharged an LS3 and called it an LS9 and put it in the ZR1.
