For the first question, you need to add a 1b, how MANY will buy a Z28. Volume is what drives piece price and investment amortization. And that ultimately leads to question 2. But for Question 1, YES is the correct answer. Whispered voice in a corn field.................."Build it ................. and he will come"

I just said in a prior thread. I am 61 years old and would buy a Z. If it has all the right parts, to be the ford butt kicker. That we all hope for. But I dont care for all the plush junk. Give me a stripped down go fast version. Just the basics. Maybe GM will offer us a build sheet, say start with a base car. Then let the buyer add or delete what they want. You could do some of that in the old days.

*LLT - MN6 *FE4 *ZL1-type Wheels/Tires *ZL1-type Splitter/Spoiler *Exhaust MSRP about $29,500 ...and there's a market for THAT car, too...not to mention, it's very CAFE-friendly, friend. BTW, the Team is aware of this concept as well... Last edited by LOWDOWN; 06-09-2011 at 08:18 AM. |

...and THAT is what we'll give 'em... 1SS = $35K (with all the toyz) 2SS = $35K (Base; high-$30s, dressed) ZL1 = $55K (loaded, GT500 coin) Zee28 = $45K...splits the "difference", stair-steps 'em up the price ladder, gives them OEM Warranty/comfort...and, coincidentally, pretty much matches price, but will trump the performance, of something called a BOSS... As I asked before, and Pete is kinda-sorta "suggesting", how many people have spent how many dollars creating their own version of a Zee?! The LS7's "lifespan" roughly mirrors the Gen-5 Camaro's. AND the ZL1's, for that matter. Use what you can from the ZL1, add a wet-sump LS7 and non-MR bits 'n pieces, stir vigorously, HOLD the frills but NOT the thrills, and watch the "cake" (sales) rise...

I'm sure GM has or is looking at this, but as novice quasi-insiders I think we've made good arguments and have pointed out that it can be done using existing pieces. And as Lowdown pointed out it the LS7 and Gen5 should exist for the same amount of time. GM would not have to spend much on marketing as the return of the Z28 would create so much rumbling itself. The mags would bow down in thankfulness as they would sell many more mags. Add to that filling in the missing pricepoint which also means more $$$ for GM. It all makes sense to this novice quasi-insider. |

...which, unfortunately, does NOT necessarily translate into a "done deal"...
Number 3, standing in that cornfield, mentioned, "Build it...and they will come..." Z4E sez, "There's got to be people at GM in sync, and sympathetic..." Sage words, truly, but someone else, here, said, "But ya gotta wanna DO IT!". And will Corvette allow the use of the LS7 in its not-so-lil brother's steamroom? Somewhere, between Cornfield County, Bowling Green, Oshawa, and the RenCen, WILL come the TRUTH... Stay tuned! |

Number 3,
If you can't answer I understand. My question is, "how much bearing did the Mustang Boss have on the ZL1 receiving its name"? 0% - 100% ? Thank you for your support. |

As of yet we don't know when we will move to the Alpha frame. I also feel like we will see the C7 as a 2013 model year with the new GenV V8. This could lead to a mid year (around February 2013) Z28 with the new GenV V8.
