Default Differences between regular and z28?

It seems like an unrealistic thing to do, but i'm just wondering what the difference is between my 3.4 regular Camaro, and a Z28.
Besides the obvious engine and transmission differences, and a gauge cluster that adds 40 mph, the only other difference I see is z28 badging and dual exhaust. So what's the differences?

Besides the engines and performance differences, which are substantial, the z28 has a stiffer suspension for better handling, disc brakes front & back, standard alloy wheels, much higher top speed, and much quicker acceleration, limited slip differential, etc.., and to me sounds a whole lot better.

Well the short list is the things that are the same between a Z28 and a regular Camaro.

Body
Carpet
seats
headliner
dash
console
...

yup that is about it. for the early Camaros and you can add the brakes to the 98-02s

Rear disks were options on V6 cars until 99 when they became standard. The front brakes were the same Z28 or V6 from 98 on.

Caotic, the fuel tank may be the same but the pumps are not so I left that one out. And yes you are right the Steering column and wheel, and Stereo are the same too. I left stereo out figuring it is part of the dash.
