Yeah I'll road trip it. I drove a 426 hp sport suspension Camaro on a 1800 mile trip. I'm not gonna just take it to the track every weekend or let it sit in my garage and be an ornament.

There was a Guy I met in Yellowstone who drove a Z06 and his trip was about 2200 miles round trip and he had no complaints. I think the Z28 will be just fine.

If I wanted a car that just drove on a track really fast, there are Drag cars in my local Auto Trader for about 1/5 the price what a Z/28 will be that can go just as fast, if not faster.

I think the Z/28 would be great @$45,000. My 2SS with Ground FX was stickered @ $39,000=/- $400. I didn't pay that much, but still..I could never put suspension and a SC nor a TC for less than $50,000.

In GM's statements, they said it would be competitive, and below the vette. You can get vettes in the low $50's, so I don't see the Z/28 being in the $50's.

with the price and performance of the camaro approaching corvette territory (you can get a corvette NEW at 39k base mid 40's well equipped, and used z06's in the 50k region), now is the time to let the camaro have that segment and bump the vette up to compete more directly with the stuff coming out of Europe. world class interior and materials and bump up the price to make it more exclusive. It would bring more weight to the name and the brand.

mrcowboy · 09-22-2009, 01:55 PM

Well...this just means that the corvette is getting a new engine MORE POWERFUL and will be more expensive than it is now by about 5K.

You are forgetting that the C7 corvette is right around the corner, I am assuming that the C7 will be slightly smaller, weigh lighter, and have a LS3 with D.I. at about 500hp. The power to wieght ratio will be in the vette's favor, so no worries.

What are the actual chances of this really being made cause i'd MUCH rather have my dad have this then a 2ss.

Nothing touches the ZR1 as far as price and performance. I doubt anything new in the motor department. They need to improve interior like the previous post

I'm going to go with a supercharged V8, 600hp, starting $42k.

*Milk 1027* · 09-22-2009, 02:04 PM

Hmmmmm

Pricing.
Let's all think about this for a bit. Start off at 35k. The price of the LSA engine alone is 10-12k. (On my phone, will check that later). So that right there puts the price in the 46-48k range. We are obviously not just adding an engine. So lets subtract the price of the LS3 and L99. Thats about 7k. That drops us back down to the 39-41k range. Add price for a few body changes, badging, marketing....etc. all the other stuff involved in adding a new model to a body line.

Its safe to say pricing will be around 44-46k?

Just wishful thinking though.........

+1 I say a well equipt C7 Vette with about 500hp from a D.I. LS3 V8, with great exterior and interior design, and Z06 level performance could sticker at $59k and will still sell like horcakes. Not just in america but also in europe, where they do like the Z06 and Zr1.
