Yes, the ORIGINAL Z/28 was made to qualify for the Trans-Am racing series and that is what THIS Camaro is about! Drive it on the street but drive it on the track also. Thank You Team Camaro, GM, and all involved in putting this Camaro out! |

I gotta respectfully disagree with this one...I think the engineering, etc.,to reduce the weight in the Z/28 is one of the many things unique to this vehicle that will make it more expensive...Sounds bass-ackwards, but I think it's true...

....I believe the only weight saving new engineering you refer to that would cost money in real terms would be the thinner rear window glass, no? The rest is stuff physically not placed in the car, the rear seat material and divider, speakers, sound deadening material, wiring from harneses, radio, A/C unit, not like they structured a new frame and chasis from space age materials, or brought forth new manufacturing proceses. The money will be in the addition, rather than the subtraction......it's going to be a far less bitter pill to swallow monetarily I feel than most suspect!

Well, I hope for everybody's sake it's at least priced "reasonably"...When the heck is the price supposed to come out, anyway?

Thanks...Just wondering if there's any chance GM could put a stop to this "dealer mark-up" bs over MSRP on this one...I don't get how that they can let that fly...Sure seems like a rip-off and terrible P.R......
(They didn't have that with the '67 Z/28's did they?....lol) |

If you want to buy a Zed at MSRP just contact Becky. I know for a fact she won't charge you a dime over MSRP. |

Perhaps you are right, but I would think GM sure could determine who they send them to, or allocate them to...and if it's a dealer that plans on jacking it up over MSRP......., then..........well, they don't get one to sell at all.....
