We managed to build a true-to-heritage 69 Z10 replica, with appropriate Hugger Orange stripes, and with a much smaller budget...why can't you?

I think Chevy is missing the mark on alot of things with this car, that could really boost sales. There are alot of people out there that would really like to see more connection to the 69's. Also why not offer a hot cam option and headers. Take a good look at the Mustang 302. There are things the blue oval is doing with their cars and coming with that will leave the bowtie scratching their heads, and I don't by the excuse that the gov is holding things back, because Ford is doing it why can't Chevy. For some time now the Mustang has been head in performace over the CAMARO. I love the Camaro and always have. I have 1 69RS coupe, a 69 conv. and a 2010RS. And getting ready to order a conv. Depending on if a Z is in the future. The new ZL1 is nice but not getting the suede interior, the steering wheel and a few other things. I thing this car will be over priced, like alot of things. You want to sell cars provide some real options and make it affordable.

I wish GM was able to bring in demand products to market as fast as Ford. Example: the Shelby GT was the fast answer to the Hertz Mustangs that everyone wanted to buy, but couldn't... Ford used additional resources (Shelby America Inc.) to bring these cars to the dealerships -although ridiculous dealer mark-ups slowed the sales of these so-what limited cars.
Not sure if SLP has this capability for post assembly line completion, but their ZL cars are a start for possible factory options...
like Hugger Orange painted stripes, Houndstooth interior, etc.
