Whatever the price, dealers are going to burst many bubbles with the markups. Having owned a real 69 z28 and now a 1LE it's nice to see the z28 coming back. Unfortunately now it seems only the 1%ers will be able to afford the car. I want the engine available in the 1LE, that's what I want.

I'm guessing it'll be a 2 to 3K below the Z06.

Was the original z/28 back in the days affordable for those standards? I am kinda freaking out that the Z/28 from this gen on is gona be unattainable if this is the standard now. That would suck bad.

You can doubt me all you want, but I'm telling you it'll be close (if not just over) $85,000

$85,000? I'd say your on crack.

I sort of remember hearing the price on the ZL-1 was originally going to be much higher than what we see. The powers that be wanted it priced much higher according to the bean-counters, but a miracle at the last minute kept the price for the ZL-1 reasonable,...."after all, it's a Chevy" was sort of the theme that prevailed...

Don't think we'll see that "gift" twice....They won't build 4k of them to break even or be nice guys with the Z/28....

Guys were able to come back from serving the county and buying them. They were like $4500 or so and $120 in sales tax. Now your going to pay $65k plus $20k in dealer markups for the next 2 years and here in IL another $7000 plus or more in sales tax at minimum. This is not a middle class persons car like it was way back when, although it's far more advanced that's for sure. I would like to see GM offer the same engine option in the z28 in the SS/1LE. More demand for the engine would help offset the costs of it.

I think it's pretty common knowledge that the Z/28 is the last hurrah for the LS7 engine....It's a GenIV motor that will no longer be seen in a production car after the Z/28's 4K build....

Nope - but we'll see the price is when they announce it.

Taking a "fully" loaded 1969 Z/28 at $5,500. and comparing it to today's cost of living factor of 6.0:1 it would cost less than a 1SS/1LE.

Base price for the Z/28 will start with a 6...

What happens in dealer showrooms, after that, is strictly up to YOU.

...and the more chitter-chatter about $80K+ pricing is just giving "those" dealers more impetus to prove YOU CORRECT!

I'm not saying dealers will charge $80,000. I'm saying I fully expect the MSRP to be around $85,000.

...and maybe your local dealer won't want to disappoint you...now...

[90503]

Yeah, that'll work.....just keep hollering 60K for the msrp, and no dealer mark-up...I'm sure they'll run scared and make it a low price, just because it's what they see here....gimme a break...lol...
