That was the ZL1. However, to be fair the new Z28 is claimed to be faster on at least one track than the ZL1 (link), it won't be on all tracks though as it is down perhaps as much as 80 hp from the ZL1. Too bad they won't be getting with the 21 century and offering a dual clutch transmission. Note that the article mentions how this is an all out track car, way too track oriented for most drivers. From this description it sounds like a bit less of an M4 competitor than I had initially thought. A real challenge these days is providing a car that can lap fast, have good times at the drag strip, be fun and rewarding to drive and still be comfortable enough as a daily driver.
