yea, to me the Z28 is too much money for what you get. I really don't see why GM needs 2 high performance camaros. Even Ford dropped the Boss 302. GM probably sees it as free advertising to keep Camaro fresh in everybody's minds... which isn't a bad thing. It's 55 lbs lighter than a 1LE. Seriously... this is the best you could do with $35k???

For $75k, why not give the Z28 a new carbon hood? That's probably 50 lbs right there. I can barely tell the difference between it and all the other models. Why not offer that pearl white paint on the show car? They should have offered some more visual differences for the money. The upcoming Z06 Corvette stands out as being very different than the standard C7... I would want something similar for the money. Are people really gonna go beat on their new Z28??
The Camaro has an aluminum hood and trunk lid (2014). A CF hood would save only a few pounds if that.
