Put another ~$20K into each Z/28, giving it a potent, reliable LS9 and a carbon fibre hood and lip and sell it at breakeven, so they can bigger market share for the tiny hardcore audience and make the takers of Z/28's their free advertising army.  |
And the Z cars should be the halos
But for gen 6 i hope the ZL1 is more like the Hellcat - straight line car with big HP and able to corner nicely
Z/28 - just what the 5th gen Z/28 is - road course monster
Lets consumers decide what car they want and sell accordingly.
Also no more 75k Camaros unless its the COPO S/S car or a road race only car
