Almost all would have picked a daily root canal over buying a Corvette.
The "kids" I know that are interested in cars are for the most part not interested in American or Muscle or Iconic.
It will be an awesome car and yes others will certainly consider it. But they will the ones that want a brutal, singularly focused automobile that gets there by force and lots of it.
Don't get me wrong. Love the car, love the concept (I would have done a $15,000 LS7 option on the 1LE but that's me) but IMO there won't be any "bringing in customers that never would have considered GM".
Also, that alllll being said, I hope I'm wrong.

Z/28 is pulling in people from all over, not just American car consumers. Just look around at the other forums.
Here's a thread on
bimmerpost
And if you haven't seen the thread I made on the Porsche crowd here's a

This forum has at least 2 new active members from rennlist because of this car.
I think its pretty clear GM has grabbed the attention of the euro market. Well... i guess it would be more accurate to say that GM is pulling the track folk, who tend to buy euro because they can turn
but don't care as much for the luxury... I.e. they just want performance. many of the euro sports car buyers want a combo of luxury and performance which this doesnt offer. I think it's great and I'm super stoked to see what GM has in store for the 6th gen with a fresh start.
