I could run around all day asking why the ZL1 costs as much as it does. I mean, really, it's only 160 more horsepower and a suspension change from being a SS...so why is it so 'up market and out of the price range of so many?"
I honestly believe that if either Ford OR GM could produce a car like this (the Z/28 in discussion) for 50,000 dollars and turn a profit on it, they would, but clearly as many have tried illustrating, they can't.

I actually believe that GM has *totally* succeeded in producing such a car: C7 Z51 for $56Gs retail. But it doesn't have a rear seat, so I must admit, it is not an apples to apples comparo.
