With all the technology added to it that you are describing, it would be amazing if the price didn't jump $10,000 over the SS's base price. I do believe the price of the Z28 would still have to be less than a base Corvette by enough of a margin to make it appealing to the hardcore. If the Z28 is able to beat the base Corvette at track times, then it seems reasonable to price it the same, however it wouldn't be smart for GM to do that and take away from Corvette sales..

the gt500 starts out at 42,000$ and has IRS. and if we were to lose 200-300 lbs magically in the camaro keep the hp around 450-480 who would need 500 to run circles around the gt500. HP numbers don't mean squat if you can't get it to the ground.
