The more street friendly Z/28 exists

The Z/28 is a car for a clearly defined, hardcore niche. I'm guessing that in many cases, part of the reason for buying it will be because it does not try to be anything else. You either like it for what it isn't as well as for what it is, or you need to be looking at something else.

Dunno, maybe it's easier to see this when you don't even think like the average mainstream car buyer. Most buyers would not find cars that are specifically equipped to appeal to me very appealing for themselves. I'm not making any distinctions among daily-drivers, weekend/trip cars, and toys here.

Yes I understand all that...it was purpose built with great focus. If it being purpose built makes it less inclusive it's not to persuade socalled buyers to NOT purchase. It's to appeal to buyers understanding its intent. My original comments were based on the following remark, "the reason they wanted to make it less appealing to most buyers". Manufacturers do not design and build anything to make it less appealing...to anyone...

I think everyone is partially right in this thread and if you add it all together it makes the most sense...they "purpose built" the car for 1-because they can and showed what they can do due to the health of their current economic state. 2-they have LS7 engines already built that they lose money on by sitting on shelves. 3-making it "less desireable" to Joe Carbuyer by pricing above a DD status weeds out the men from the boys well and the car collectors 4-overpricing it still allows them to sell the remaining LS7's but keep the CAFE numbers at bay. 5-Heritage-they built the car to reinvigorate a passion but create its own legacy for future gens. In part, if the above did not hold water, they would have allowed for the SS to have an LS7 option. The Z/28 will be very profitable for GM regardless how many they sell and that is a good thing.
