The Z28 comes with a 305 square setup with R-comp semi slicks . (The GTR has 255/285 extreme summers). From the factory or not it's a dedicated track car with both tires / suspension / camber set up to be unusable/ unsafe on the street . ( kudos to Chevy offering a turn key track car though , while the GTR "track edition " is a pure marketing package with no performance enhancements ) . To put the tires and camber into perspective , if an E92 M3 with a square 285 semi slick and track camber setup was in this test , it would have won .... By a lot. The Camaro chassis still sucks ass , pure marketing BS and a lot of people are failing for it bc they don't understand , tire size and compound are the two most important mods for track times . The Z28 despite having the old Z06 motor only traps 117 bc it's still a fat pig even stripped out . On equal tires the new M4 will rape it , 500 pound weight advantage is huge . Oh and the new M4 will be faster in a straight line bone stock with the DCT .
