At $75K we have nonsensical whining about "value". If the market agrees, Z/28's will sit unsold and the price will drop. If it drops to a point to where it is now worth it to any given individual, guess what, he can buy one. If it does not, then his value assessment did not agree with the market.
Free market capitalism... a beautiful thing.

And that is the bottom line! Now if GM named this car something else, I don't think folks would have such negative response to the price. But a Z28 was never priced so much higher than a Vette. It was a "working man's" Vette.
Now it is priced at z06 level! But totally agree, all these opinions mean nothing as the market will determine the success here. And this sucks, as the market has been limited to 1500-2000 copies. I suspect every one will sell. Maybe even at premiums. But all of us who remember a z28 as a different animal and who stuck by GM waiting for one will remain pissed off, or maybe even change brands. Time will tell.
