please show me a Z28 that handles like a G...

cool you can go fast in strait lines. But how fun is it to feel the g's in your g around the corners (sorry for the pun)

Its all relative man. Its not like G handles that well. Just like the G will be hindered in straight line runs due to an IRS the F-body will be hindered on curves due to the live axle.

Stock for stock I can almost gurantee the F-body will hang with the G, if not then it will at the next straight away

You're lucky you said F-body cause I was about to drop the C5 Z06 bomb

Time to boost your G35 or drop an LS1 into it.

I get 2 mpg more in the G on the same route as compared to the Z (24 vs 22).

The 6-speed in the Z didn't make it easier on helping me keep my foot out of it

^For a Z28, it's difficult. Far from impossible though.
But I've watched a vette freaking RIP UP an autoX course.
