This is exactly why we can't speculate costs based on how much more individual parts cost at the retail level. I can't buy ceramic brakes for less than 10k, but I bet GM can. Same goes for the engine, an LS7 costs me 15k or whatever, but it does't cost GM that much to manufacture it. And, as far as costs to "remove parts like the AC, I highly douby GM is going to build an SS then start stripping it down to Z/28 spec. they just wont install the AC.

To keep my post relative, my guess is $68,722 + tax, fees, etc. And of course dealers will try to gouge us. I also bet that I wont be able to get on in Canada for less than 100k

The 1LE package only being 3500 is because what it costS GM for those parts all together is probably a small fraction of what it costs you and me. Im going to say the Z/28 is in the 62-65 range.

...the 1LE package is a nuts package for it's price, what a deal....Chevy is gonna work it and price it as they see fit. The 1LE was brought in under, so shall the Z/28 be.

No. The 1LE is able to come in at a low price point because it shares wheels and tires with the ZL1. If that wheel was exclusive to the 1LE, it would cost a lot more than $3500. You can order the 1LE suspension only for the SS and it's a $1975 option.

The Z/28 will have tons of exclusive parts that will drive the cost up.

I was told by someone at GM that it's 500 for 2014 and 1000 for 2015. I think I've said it before but there are reasons that they can't build many of these and it's not availability of parts.

You can get just the 1LE suspension from the factory? First Ive heard of that.

It's now available as an LPO when you order a car. Parts get shipped to the dealer and they install them when the car arrives.
