Don't remember in what thread I read the quote, but it was Mark Ruess who said it I believe. I think member LowDown placed it in a thread. When I see it again I'll post it here.

Got it for you


Pricing isn't available yet, but it will be the most expensive Camaro offered, Reuss said. Production likely will be somewhat limited, but Reuss said, "We'll make as many as people want."

It won't be that bad of a ride. It's stiff but you won't rattle your brain riding in it. It's perfect for street track whatever. The brakes are what makes it expensive and it's understandable for its sole purpose. Introduce it to the SS without the brakes.

My dad and I would probably prefer the stiff ride. I took him in my GT500 yesterday, Put the suspension in normal mode and then sport mode and he said he preferred sport mode. Thought normal was too bouncy, Probably one of the reasons he hates riding in my Camaro... And the GT500 in sport mode isn't even that stiff...

I hope I get to ride in Z/28 to make my own judgement on how stiff the suspension is and how liveable it is...

People associate stiff with uncomfortable but I find a loose suspension feels more uncomfortable than a stiff planted one..

I was thinking that a test ride will probably be hard to come by....really doubt many dealers will be ordering unsold Z/28's but if I find one....I'll be trying to get a test drive too

I agree.

If you buy a Z/28 and you're concerned about ride quality - you're doing it wrong.

[WLNY]

Z/28 is not meant to be a a daily driver. It should be your second or third car. That's why it's stripped and expensive. Chevy is trying to go up market with the Z/28 and ZL1.

Yup the pres at my local gm dealer said its going to be more than the Zl1

Just for fun, a look at a similiar car, same LS7 engine, similiar customer base and demand.

C6 Z06 Corvette Production Numbers:

2013 - 471 (Last year for the LS7 in a Vette)
2012 - 478
2011 - 904
2010 - 518

The LS7-engined Z/28 will be offered for TWO Model Years only. And what were they for the Z06, the first two years, before the ZR1 arrived?

MY 2006 = 6272

MY 2007 = 8159

I'm fairly certain, as fantastic as the "new HUGGER" will be, it won't match those numbers...

Also, I'd be surprized if many Vette folks trade "down" to a Camaro...

Exactly. The ZR1 killed the Z06 vette, and that's the only reason production was so in low those later years. When the Z06 was king of the heap (as it will be in the Camaro) it sold by the thousands. The Z06 Vette was much more civilized and not built to be nearly as "track-ready" as the Z/28, so that will limit the production numbers on the Camaro, but I'll bet they STILL sell several thousand of them before the 6th gen gets here.
