To answer your question on the R&D aspect. I believe GM spreads that cost over the life of the particular nameplate. Meaning when they do R&D for a certain car Z/28 for this matter they look at how long its going to be made and around how many units they plan to make over the span of its life. maybe Number 3 can expand on this...

BTW I dont remember many people complaining when the C6 Z06 came out about the cost.

I dont believe you answered my eariler question. If the Z/28 was 65K would YOU buy it?
At $65K I would definitely consider it, that would be about the limit, and only because it has those tasty carbon ceramic brakes. At $75K no way. Just my opinion.

What I'm waiting for is to see what they price the C7 Z06 at. That will uncover a whole new insight on whether the Z/28 is priced correctly.

I still love the Z/28 even though I believe it's priced in the stratosphere.
