the Z 28 was 17 thou more, but 75 hp less.
No magnetic ride control, no HID headlights, no HUD
one speaker, down from 9 for the ZL1's Boston Acoustics system
But it does come with "Flying Car Mode" The extreme nature of the Z/28 continues with its “flying car mode,” which came about from testing at the Nürburgring and ensures that engine power isn’t cut when the car gets airborne.

In order to get the Z/28 to lap the Nurburgring in 7:37.47 time, GM engineers developed the ‘flying car’ mode for the Performance Traction Management (or PTM) system.
Normally, when a car leaves the ground (because of a rough surface or a slight jump after a rise) the traction control system interprets the increased wheel speed as a loss of traction, and so it cuts engine torque to recover, which can slow the car down when it lands.
Developed for track use only, the PTM system in the Z/28 uses the car’s ride height sensors to detect when the wheels have left the ground, and prevents the system from decreasing torque. By maintaining full power and momentum, the system can cut several seconds off a lap of the ‘ring.
