The official Z/28 won't just be a supercharged SS. The original Z was built to qualify the car for the Trans Am racing class. The early spy shots indicate they're following this same philosophy with the new one. The chassis, bushings, suspension, brakes, drivetrain, etc will all be specially built and tuned for road racing. You'd practically have to do what the racing teams have done with an SS to get close to what a factory Z is going to be like.

Will they be worth it? They will to those racing. Hard to say if people are going to want to spend that much for a street car or daily driver. As for modding, I don't see there being that much room for mods if they build it to qualify for a racing class. At least not any cheap mods.

Gonna be interesting to see though.
