Who Would Buy A...
Would you buy a GSR ($39,000. estimate) version of the Camaro. Basically a Z28 ($49,000. estimate) without a supercharger (a slight bump in HP over the SS). Some what like the difference between a Z06 and a GS Corvette.

at 49 grand I can probably buy a vette. the 39 grand one is probably just going to have a few different body parts. I can install a SC and get the same horse power for about 7 grand. Not worth IMO

2ssrs don't hold your breath on that deal.
as for a Z28 it's a Z28 not a basic SS which has been slapped on everything in GM's line up. why settle for something you don't want? lol. |

GM did very well with the SS on power and everything. I think they will make a good choice. I mean they have to, the camaro is probably holding the company up right now. I still think th 49 tag plus tax title and license is going to make it a lot queen

This. I'd rather get an SS and add whatever I could to it to match the Z28 if that's the price.

For $49 large it better have more than a bump. Either DI V8 close to 500 hrorse or LSA.

I think what he was getting at was .... 49000 for the LSA unicorn or 39 for a bump... I think

I'm not going to lie I would be very interested in a bump and some suspension work.... throw in some lighter wheels to drop more weight and I'm sold.
Coil-overs = Weight reduction Lighter wheels = Weight reduction Free flowing CAI and exhaust = Weight reduction and slight HP bump (if done right) Sounds like the beginning of a good track car. JMHO Sounds almost Z28ish..... Yes I know I'm in the minority on this one.

I do however understand the business side of needing something to target the Gt500..... So it would make since for the Z28 to be a LSA monster... unless there is more than one extra model on the way. In that case I have no idea what the freck is going on. |
