Interesting thing here is that realistically a Z28 or some other top of the line future camaro would need to be priced in 45-50k bracket - and right now we can spec out a well equipped SS for around 37k compared to about 44k for a challenger and 46k for a GT500.

Good thing is that the SS already has great brakes and handling as standard - so less to worry about there for most "mortals" who wont be doing serious racing and just want more power at their right foot - so adding a supercharger for 8-9k gives you a very nicely specced car while not making you spend much more than you would on the competition

All gets down to what you want to spend your $ on.
Amazing how many folks are dropping as much as it costs for a supercharger on ground effects and 21' wheels - which are mainly for appearance.


I'm looking at this as an opportunity to build what I expected a Z28 to be in installments :-)


I have to say that although it does nothing for me personally in terms of looks (it somehow looks depressed) - if you can get it at the actual list price the Mustang GT500 is a lot of value for money
