As much as it is Spartan in creature comforts, I find it very ironic that this is the only model that offers a true one-of-a-kind option: A/C or no A/C...lol...What a concept!!...(I hope the idea catches on with other models...)

I think GM already missed the ball by not offering a Z/28 for the 2010-2013 model years.

I think a lot of people wanted a track oriented LS7 Camaro at 1LE prices and that just couldn't happen.
I'm really surprised that GM went through and put the best engine they have in best most hallowed moniker left on the Camaro wish list. It took real guts on their part to build a Z/28 from a 5th Gen Camaro that didn't at first seem to lend itself well to a track first halo car. But they have managed to do it. And even if it becomes more rare collector car than street or track racer the idea that GM went and built it says a lot about this new GM. |

Z/28 the only ones sold will be put into a garage with the hope that 20 years from now they will be worth something. Corvette shell filled with the owner's preference would be a cheaper/better option for the track.

After reading this thread, I'm convinced you can't make everyone happy. No matter how good GM nailed it with the z28, there's always the few that say "but but but my waydio and speakazz"....
If I didn't have my zl1, which I'm considering tracking soon, I'd definitely be ordering the z28. |

This car could come with a drivers seat and nothing else inside and I would still crave one. I have ZL1 and I love this car so much more. Who listens to a radio in a hot rod anyhow? I like hear the motor more.

With respect to the Z28, i'm glad I got my ZL1.
I'm really wanting to know what track the 3 second statistic came from. Maybe somone can chime in? If the Z28 is 3 seconds faster than the ZL1 around VIR, it puts 3 Camaro's in the top 10 for the 2013 Lightning Lap. 3 seconds faster than the ZL1 around VIR is a second faster than a LEXUS LFA!!!

Agreed 100%. People talking about this car being in the neighborhood of $75k??? Camaro aficiandos have been asking for a Z-28 since the 2010's came out. Now GM brings it back as an overpriced (potentially), stripped down, track car. I think they're really limiting their market here. Remember the SS/R? Yikes!!!

My 2 cents: Chevy engineers have lost their minds... The Z/28 should have been an upgrade to the SS. 1. An upgraded interior. 2. 1 of a kind Z/28 logo wheels. 3. 1 of kind hood. 4. OFFER A TRACK PACK OPTION for people who want to take it the the track. Just a thought..

I already said it in another thread, but I believe GM is pulling a Ford tactic from years ago with the new Z-28. Remember the 2000 Cobra-R? Limited production, expensive, not your everyday driver, track car. People have been hounding GM since 2010 to ressurect the Z, now we're getting a limited production, expensive, track car.
