All that said I am part of a large contingent of true Camaro lovers who want to see a Z/28 people will drive. For me it is not about if I can personally afford one its about being able to actually drive one or pass one on the road. I hope GM will listen and at some point bring us a Z/28 that people will want to drive. Keep this beauty around as an option just don't burn the Z/28 badge on a car that will live behind a red velvet rope and we have to experience in videos. When the Z was reintroduced in the 70s look how well it sold. In 2002 1/3 of all Camaros were Z28s. Seems like a lot of market potential to spend on a couple hundred cars. How will this car earn it's legend if no one drives it? Again, awesome car. Thanks to the team for pushing the envelope in a Camaro badge. Odd problem is that everyone wants a Z/28.....
If things follow history like we've seen with the 5th Gen then you may get your wish.

The 1st Z/28s were made for the track and in the 70's the Z28 was there for the daily driver. I can see the Z28 as a big money maker with the 6th Gen. We'll just have to wait and see what's in the cards but I can bet you we'll see more of the Z28 in the future.
