so for the hell of it i decided to pay a visit to the local dealer (mainly to see a '14 up close - only had a 2LT and the 2SS was sold).
Asked about the Z/28 and salesman's eyes lit up but he knew nothing more than what was on here. He also said i was only the 3rd person to inquire and that they were not taking deals on them until they knew more about them. Thought about whipping out a grand just to see if they were blowing smoke or not (i have had rough dealings in the past but they have improved greatly over the last few years) If this is a 60k car that can be had for 60k - i am fairly serious buyer. And I would drive the crap out of this car on the street and make a note to take it to the track more than any other cars. |

If your chosen dealer was NOT a recipient of 1 of the first 1500 ZL1s, and/or doesn't have a large allocation of Corvettes, they're not likely to see 1 of the first 1500 Z/28s either...
With some Chev dealers likely to get several Z/28s, that means more than half of all Chev dealers will get zippo...keeping with the Z lineage... |

I would not doubt that you are right.

....agreed, it's gonna be a tight fit between buyers and allocations at first. A couple large in ones hand to throw down could be the deciding factor for some who are number 1 through number 3 on the list...just sayin', and I ain't that guy. I'm holding at MSRP, number 1 <depending on whether or not they remember that> and depending on the sticker. And that is a big if.....

i could do 65 and i can wait for the markups to go away (it that is possible).
I wouldn't be heart broken if i could not get one right away. If this is a 2 year run and GM does hold true that they will make as many as they can sell - i can see myself driving a Z/28 by summer of 2015. Guess we will wait and see |

^...agreed, we shall wait and see...time is on our side....if it does not work out, oh well...we will catch the next bus. I am in a good position due to the fact I have a ZL1, and want to upgrade<in my mind> to the Z/28. I am not going to fret about it.

In the last 2 days, have got calls from dealers that want to sale me cars and trucks, told them the only car i plan on buying in the next 12 months is the Z/28 if i can get it, LOL both salesmen say they have one on the way and its going to be here any day, LOL ( and you see now why we hate salesmen that dont know there A** from a hole in the ground) they tell me that they will have a price in the next 2 hr and get back to me.
I can take the time to tell them that GM has not set the price, but its more fun to let them learn there not as smart as they think, LOL its all good, but as said if we can get one at no more then MSRP then we are in. |

I agree with davidcroft, the Z28 is way outside the reach of most of us that love Camaros. While I can appreciate the 427 and the design costs, I think GM lost it's way here and should have made a Z28 earlier that was a lighter SS track car. The first and second gen Z28 was within reach for the average person. Second generation Z28's were slowly watered down, but still an affordable top dog Camaro in it's day. Even third and fourth gen Camaros were priced to be within an average person's budget. In my opinion a 50K to 60K Camaro in this economy is evidence of how out of touch GM has become. A 50K+ Corvette sure I get it, Camaro was always the lower priced little brother. No surprise I'm option 4...........
