2015 Camaro Z/28 20K Price Drop!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Switchy · 10-05-2015, 03:32 PM

Okay this is really shocking and I kind of feel bad for people that paid 75K for this car when it just dropped 20K in price! So my question is since its the same price as a ZL1 now.... what would you get the 2015 ZL1 or the 2015 Z/28??

Switchy · 10-05-2015, 03:34 PM

I'm deciding if I want to go trade in my ZL1 for this since its the same price as my 2015 ZL1 hahaha

It depends on how much you want to pay for brake pads and rotors?

Z/28 = track car

ZL1 = can do everything else well and still be a great track car.

Sounds good I basically just take mine to drag strip, I sure love my ZL1 though seen Z28s really don't have anything inside like the ZL1

Go drive a Z/28...that's all I'm saying.

And not all Z/28 are striped. LOL

Z/28 = truly rare car

ZL1 = can do everything else well and is 300lbs heavier.

Fixed it!

According to the chief brake engineer at Brembo, "Another benefit: carbon ceramic rotors are also more durable than standard parts. Obviously, the lifespan of a rotor depends on many variables, especially if you regularly use the car on a track,” Bruletti says. “However, for most Z/28 owners, we expect that the carbon ceramic rotors will likely last the entire life of a car.”

I know I need to the red one like yours looks so bad! Have you ever drove a ZL1? Feel much different?

pmili75 · 10-05-2015, 05:35 PM

Has anyone checked out these deals. Are these legit new AC cars?

Or BS price nobody actually qualifies for??

KaBoom1701 · 10-05-2015, 05:49 PM

I was not making my comments to knock the Z/28 at all...

It's a awesome track car. If the Z/28 is going to be your garage queen and you go to the track then that's the car for you.

The ZL1 is still a great track car but it can also be a great drag racing car, touring car...mag shocks do great on the highway and streets. And it has a better interior. Unless your Ofer and can afford to replace the interior with all the MyLink goodies. lol

Can't go wrong either way it's just a matter of what kind of car do you want and would enjoy the most based off your needs.

I've thought about trading my ZL1 in on a Z/28 and got my wife's blessing to do it last Friday. Having to go do the deal holds me back

The ZL1 is a better overall car but the Z/28 has a strong pull on my heart. If I was buying now I'd go that route. They are rare and raw and history will look back fondly on them.

There is a reason the Z/28 won a "best drivers car" competition where as the ZL1 finished 6th. Not knocking the ZL1 at all. It's not because it's a better track car. Notice the title of the competition. Best drivers car...like I said, go drive one. That's the only way YOU can understand.

I test drove a ZL1 in 2012...I bought a Shelby. Why, because I liked the Shelby better. The Z/28 is 10 times as cool as the Shelby and drives much much better.

Also, if you've never seen a Z/28 in person...find one for sale and go look at it.
That'll make up 60% of your buying decision right there. Drive it, and the other 40% will be taken care of.

^This is a TRUE statement! I have owned a 1LE, ZL1 and now the Z/28 and its hands down the pick of the litter!!! I also own a 2010 Shelby, yes the Shelby is faster in a drag race, but throw a curve in there and well the Z/28 will DESTROY the Shelby? I have never tracked my car and probably never will, but on a nice mountain road here in East Tennessee, I promise you I can make a Shelby owner make his car over heat trying to keep up! I know this because I've done it a few different times. Once you drive the Z/28 nothing will compare in its price range. That's just my $.02

So so true. Coming most recently from a supercharged Viper and really needing a back seat for my 2 boys to tag along sometimes-I went to the dealer to buy an auto ZL1 (drove it and a Z/28) returned home in the Z/28. I've had 20+ all different kinds of sport cars and truly love my Z/28. To each his own-just drive/see one in person and find out if it is your ammo of choice.
