He's saying that development costs for the engine, brakes, body, etc. were paid for long before the 1st 2014 Z/28 rolled off the line because all of these items were borrowed from Corvette and have long since paid for themselves. These awesome performance items were new to Camaro but not new to GM, therefore, development costs were paid for by other models.
Actually, IMO more development went into the C7 Z06 Corvette, and since it's a new product they're having to deal with new product issues that we've all read about. Even with that said, the starting price is a little over 3 grand above the Z/28.
Personally, I feel the same way also. I've always felt that the Z/28 should've been in the same price range as the upper level ZL1's at 60K.
Not a Z/28 hater by any means because its an awesome car which I really like, but yes, overpriced at 76K. Also, just in case anyone is wondering, I could afford it before the GM year end deals.
