....it's about market shares, and sales, both will be closely grouped performance wise....the technology is too close for comfort right now, and the prices like you propossed will be too close...so the numbers will split in half...why have two close together and split the sales in half, rather than have one and get 100 percent. More cost effective in labor, materials, overhead etc...to have one..

I agree to some extent...if people are cross shopping, either they like the idea of a supercharged car or they would rather a naturally aspirated. If the blue oval boys have two to choose from it might lose a sale for GM. If a person can have roughly the same performance out of a car for less most will go for less..others will just want the baddest they can afford, hence the sale of a ZL1.

My Camaro history is a little muddy... Was the Z28 just an RPO code that took a life of it's own or was it actually a Submodel?
My thinking is why can't it just be an option like the 1LE is? Something along the lines of an option that requires another option. I think right now the HotWheels Edition requires the RS package. So figure the Z28 at maybe $6500-$10000 requires the 1LE at the $3500. It would be expensive as all hell but if you want it you get it. As far as the LS7 goes it doesn't have to be so expensive. Cut out the hand building and get rid of a couple of other things IDK what really but it has to be doable. The LS7 lists for what? $14Kish? An LS3 is roughly 1/2 that. With the exception of it being desirable for it to have the ZL1 rear the upgrades are there with the 1LE. A 2SS would come in a few grand shy of $50K. So what $7K-$13K than a ZL1? If you want a basic track car a 1SS could be done for low $40's. It's doable. IDK if I would really want it though. The more I think about it the 1LE with an LS3 is good enough for me. I'm not waiting. If it was available right now though I would buy it fast. |

What they need to do is build IDK an LS10 or something make it a 7L with a 4.0L Whipple from the COPO program and bring the insanity. No hand building necessary. If they can get an LS3 to stay together they can this to work.

I kinda believe that there is a better chance of an LS9 getting a power bump and ending up in a ZL1 to compete with the GT500(which at that point there wont be a comparison) than there is an LS7 powered "Z/28" coming to fruition. The ZL1 has a direct competitor and with the LS9 in it, I know that Ford will have no answer for it. A 650hp factory ZL1 would wipe the snot out of the GT500. It already has better brakes, better steering and better looks(personal opinion) it just needs more as Scotty would say "I don't have the power Captain"

ah ha..well you see even though the GT500 might have a slight HP advantage at that point, it's all about the torque and gearing after that and I believe the ZL1 would win.
