Absolutely correct. It's all in ones point of view.

That would probably be about 15,000 tacked on the now price. 1/4 shy of 100,000 nah

First time around, yep. Now the favour has been returned. Gotta love Ford/GM rivalry. Also admire how GM waited so long in the C5 life cycle to introduce this car. Gave the real fans the chance to save up.

You won't even feel the difference between the ZL1 and Z28 unless you have a stop watch. Maybe no Camaro should have options except the V6, if you can't drive with the A/C and stereo on at the same time.

Has anyone confirmed the color on this show car? Is it white diamond or just a matte white wrap? And I see there is a lot of complaints about the wheel opening moldings but with a 19" wheel and tire combo they had to close that gap some how.

I bet you'll feel a huge difference. One is a NA car with Carbon Ceramic brakes and the other is a very fast Supercharged GT. Guess which will stop and go as if its an on/off switch.

Yes, They will feel VERY VERY VERY different. Ones a GT car and one is a racecar. I'll let you figure it out.

I bet you will, I will say the Z/28 will ride like a race car all the time while a ZL1 will ride like a cruiser depending on what setting you choose on the mag ride. You will definitely notice...

I heard it won't be available, at least not at first...Summit white is the only white listed.

WHAT? NO CUP TIRES????

I'm just wondering what the Boss 302 crowd over at the Ford camp is thinking just now? I suspect they're saying, "Yeah, yeah....just wait til we get the 2015 Mustang, we'll show them there Camaro guys somethin'"! Well, they will have a lot of catchin up to do.

I'm trying to figure how I'm going to afford one of these!

I'm not talking about the ride, I know the Z/28 isn't going to ride worth a sh!! compared to the ZL1. I'm just saying that the average person isn't going to feel the difference between the two when it comes to acceleration on the street. They are both very fast cars, specially to someone with a V6.
