Do you want the Z28?

So it doesn't really follow that when you apply the same formula to the CTS-V vs Z28 that they'd match each other in price.

OMG thank you for saying this! Ive been wondering this all along too!
"Its going to be about as much as the cts-v" blah blah just gets a major from me when I read that.

Don't expect it to be priced along side the SRT8 Challenger either

[motorhead]

I don't care what is cost. It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.

[Decibel JJ]

Heck yes i want it ! I just hope that when it finally comes out, It's lives up to my expectations

Estimates using the base CTS v Camaro 2LT 'formula' have the Z28 somewhere in the mid 40s....obviously it's not scientific...but even at high 40s...it's competitive in the market, and not near as expensive as the ultra-lux CTS-V.

Personally, I figure the Z/28 will be priced competitively between the current "2SS" and the Base Corvette. Knowing GM, it will probably be offered in at least 2 trim levels as well! I can't much see it costing less than an "SS" the same is as I don't think they would be crazy enough to price it up and above what you can buy a base Corvette for either!

In Canada I'm guessing a price range of $48,995 - $54,995. Therefore, in USA should be somewhere around the $38,995 - $43,995 range. Once again pending on what is standard and what will be offered to choose from!

Either way you look at it ..... when builds it, people will buy it!

Just my 2 cents!

the Z/28

The vast majority of vehicles are sold with automatics.

If the Z28 is a manual trans only car Chevrolet could lose about half the sales - including this Camaro Z28 owner.

I'd love to have it, but wouldn't trade the SS for it...

oh you said it so right!! i wish the Z/28 will handle as good as.. and better than the boss 302: 1.G it needs to get to 1.G+ presently the ss is what at .88? or so.. it should have recaro seats optional like the boss 302.. they have to make it one BIG notch higher than the ss.

Anybody can slap on a supercharger. It's still not a Z28 (and it's pretty expensive)...

About $25,000 over the price of your choice of SS. SO...At least $55...could be up to $70 after your done playing with options.

wow, I'll wait for the Z-28.

[lewylew]

Little more than just a supercharger. I will agree the car is slightly over priced and it is not a z/28. It is a limited addition and numbered car and is avaiable now. I can't imagine GM putting a supercharger in the "Z/28" and not charging at least $50k for it. You can wait for your z/28. I just think the ZL is a nice option and will probably outperform the "Z/28". I am extremely happy with my overpriced ZL550. I hope everyone who waits for the "z/28" is not disappointed.

Don't take what I said as a negative against the SLP cars. I like them a lot!!! (except for that mailslot cover...) A local dealer had about 8 of them sitting on his lot at one point...it was so cool to pass by and "count the horsepower".

The Z28 is "often imitated, never duplicated", the factory-built aspect is just one of a handful of things that are very important to some of us no aftermarket company can compete with. As far as being disappointed: Dollar for dollar...I'm not sure anything will outperform it...the guys working on it seem determined. Should be fun!!

[lewylew]

No offense taken. Yes the mail slot is an eyesore they should have replaced the bumper cover with the v6. I just think everyone that thinks the ZL cars are so overpriced are going to have a rude awakening if the "z/28" comes with similar setup as mine. Does anyone really know what GM is actually going to build. It would be nice if they build a naturally aspirated car with over 500 HP and forged bottom end.

Nobody "knows". Not until they tell us. But it's been gathered from little bits and pieces here and there that Chevy is making the Z28 to go toe-to-toe with the Mustang GT500. So it'll need a supercharged engine, and significant handling adjustments at the least. Other than that....it's anyone's guess -- just like when the concept was shown.
