Ok, I've got a 91 RS. At the bottom of this you'll see her numbers in the 1/4. If what I know is right, in 92 the Z-28's came with the 350 right? Knowing that i have a 305, why would my numbers match that of a 92 Z? check out this link and tell me what the deal is. Thanks

Your assuming that the Z with that timeslip has the 350. The 350 was available in 92 but that doesn't mean all of them had it. If it was a 350 then either it wasn't running right or the person does not know how to drive it. Most people around here with pretty much stock L98's run in the 14s.

I think its more the fact that the single ugliest new car in production today is supposedly not only running 13's, but performance matched to the cobra, the ferrari, and maserati. Thats what doesnt quite look right to me.

8 sec 0-60 in a 92 Z? They were smokin some pretty wild stuff, and it wasn't the tires! Isn't the 92 Z rated somewhere in the mid to upper 5 second range for 0-60? My old Olds 442 with the 307 and 180hp would run 8.3 0-60! I think my 87 IROC L98 is rated at 6.1 secs.

I think they forgot that the Z-28 uses 8 sparkplugs and didnt put in the right amount during the last service! LOL!

i think is a 4 cyclinder turbo with all wheel drive..

any way they must be of been talking about a 1982 z28 or something..

any 1992 z28 would run in the 14s/ very low 15s range no where near 16s!!

someone got the wrong info/ had a really messed up car to test on....
