Z06 Corvette starts at $75K
Would they base price a Z/28 less? because "Camaro" and less overall platform cost at this point in time... ...or more because it is actually more technically advanced is some areas.

Well, for the 2014 model year lineup, will the Corvette's even have a Z06 yet?

There are too many unknown variables... like how much more does a low piece count wiring harness vs. a production high piece count production harness. Same with the glass... same with the A/C option labor... same with the exotic brakes/rubber/strut/shock/wheel/tire.
When GM orders 100,000 items, it's cheaper than ordering 5,000. There will be additional labor involved in the build sequence. Too many variables to nail it down.

Scooter, correct. Maybe 2013 Z06 irrelevant
Twisty...likely correct also. Notice how a production Camaro grille is less than $100, but the Heritage grille is over $200 for a simple piece of plastic that should be the same. GFX side skirts sky high, ZL-1 cheap GFX front splitter $900 but you can buy the whole ZL-1 front end for that

Well from what I have seen online the ZL1 OEM tires would cost 1434 (TireRack) to replace all 4. The Z/28 tires 2720 (from what I have seen here on C5) for all 4, so theres 1300 right there in rubber.

So, while they may charge double for a heritage or ZL1 grille than they do for a "regular" SS grille, do you really think the production cost has as large of a variance? Maybe they just price it that way to dissuade people from buying an SS and then "upgrading" to a ZL1 by buying all the parts separate Quote:

If you look right now, you can get them for almost exactly half that. I haven't done much research, but do you think those prices on tirerack could be a little inflated just because there's not many cars out there using those Pirelli PZero Trofeo R 305/30ZR19 tires yet? I have absolutely no idea if that's relevant or not, but I'm just throwing it out there.

I have seen people guessing in the high 40s or low 50s bc they just add in the LS7 and think stripping it of an interior and its gonna be a steal. It won't be, GM went balls to the wall with this car and you got to pay to play, I mean hell the engine and brakes in this thing are worth more then my whole damn car haha. I can't wait to see the Z/28 tear up the track, but its gonna be pricey im sticking with my guess of 60 on the low end and most likely probably 65 is a more realisitic guess for me. |

I do feel Chevy dropped the ball with this one. What some of you guys are advicating is paying Corvette and probably Porche prices after dealer markups for a stripped down Camaro. Thats only intent is to be track driven. Solely based on some badges.

My guess 64 to 69K base price, and worth it based on parts list and package development and durability verification.
Wonder if it will also have a 100,000 mile drive train warranty? That would be cool to be covered for a 100,000 track miles. However based on a typical race track 70 to 80% engine duty cycle expect 5-mpg. For a 100,000 miles that would be 20,000 gal of 93 octane @ $ 4.00/gal = $ 80,000 dollars. Does the price of the Z28 really matter when taken in context of being used as a track warrior? |
