I believe some of that does double duty for the heater.

..just talkin out loud folks...if they price this baby like a growing majority is calculating then they will be cutting off our noses to spite their face <sarcasim>. 500 units...only for the elite collector and a few racers. I know the numbers, the models, the statistics, lineage, history yada yada...what would be the point of that...for a Camaro..and I am a life long Camaro guy. Also, I am a life long Camaro Z-28 guy who would like to get this model by trading in my ZL1 on it. I am getting old, can't keep everything..soooo. It's ok if it's priced to the moon, I have a ZL1 anyway. But, I don't see their logic in doing that, only if there was a sanctioned race series they were entering and needed to hit a finite limted production to get the car in. Just sayin....

1. Because they can, they are showing off how capable they are, and how capable this car is/can be. 2. Send the 5th gen out with a bang, need some excitement with the next mustang right around the corner and the 6th gen camaro a few years away too. 3. They wanted to make this a car you can buy and go race, so props to them for doing it right. |

Perhaps a COPO similar program for a track car would be how they continue on....(COPOs were street-legal, but that's not how they're building them now, either)....LS7s, the 5thGens themselves, aren't gonna be around for very much longer anyways...Another guess, they will only be MY 2014 (built as long as the rules allow)...no '15s....who knows... It's been said various times and in different ways, that they considered calling the ZL1 the Z/28...It's more Z/28ish to how a lot of people would have wanted the Z/28 built for affordability, and street-ability...Stripper cars will never be big sellers, no matter what form they come in... I think the bottom line will be, if you really, really want one, you better get one as soon as possible...I don't think the Z/28 in it's present form will be around very long....

^, I hear ya, that prospect of the waiver situation as mentioned by our coleague in another thread I was not aware of previously will be a bug in the ointment and bottleneck production. An unmentioned "limit" production number to correlate with some historical point is doubtfull, as they already stated about building with no artificial limit. Agreed on the ability of getting one, as I stated previously, hoops of fire and much effort it will take to be the guy. Especially if the waiver does not carry over into '15 for the LS7. Sorry for any hijack...back to the thread.

Dances With Mustangs

With Dodge saying they're working on a direct competitor to the Z/28 it doesn't make sense for the manufacturers to be making cars like these unless they're also planning on competing in either a current series or a new/revival manufacturer's series. And I simply cannot believe Ford isn't planning on coming to this party; they're not going to let Chevy and Dodge get all the glory and press coverage.
A new Big 3 manufacturer's series that requires street-legal production cars would be a huge win for everybody. Lots of fantastic press coverage, great for cars, tires, sponsors, drivers, and personally I think it would/could be more popular than NASCAR simply because fans could buy and drive on the street the cars they're watching on the track. A series like this would definitely sell street cars.

Owning SSes for 50 Years

Just a comment on weight: My 2012 Camaro 1SS (very few options) weighed 3820 (at two different drag strips). AO said they had taken away "more than" 100 lbs. Could the Z28 break into the 36XX lb class?

If it does? It's price will reach the stratosphere. As I've said before, the more they cut, strip or lighten the car, the more it'll cost. But I dont see it going into the 3600lb class. I think it'll be 3700+lbs. 3600 is stretching it a bit much as theyve already gotten it down below the SS.
