They would sell a ton of them at that price.
Would they? As much as I appreciate heritage, If a new model is uncompetitive with other cars like the GT500 (which anything minus an engine upgrade would be)...I would fear for sales. Besides...outside of the first gen, the Z28 has meant anything from "entry level V8" (in the 4th gens), to "top-of-the-line" (in the second/some third gens).

Neither of which will be produced again in the near future by GM. :(

The SS will need some additional "options" to fill the gap between a base, and Z28 Camaro, but I really believe the Z28 needs equipment that would place it in the $45k range.
