^Basics like not being so exclusive. It should be a model that most camaro fans can and would want to own.

On the one hand, I understand why the Z/28 was so exclusive this time around. Z28 was a long in the tooth and abused moniker, so much so that it went hardly noticed by the time the Camaro line went extinct in '02. IMO Chevy wanted to make a big splash and generate interest in the latest Z28 model, so we saw this new version with all exclusive material such as the engine, suspension and body work. It made a great image, but it appeared that Chevy had trouble moving them at the 75K price point.

I am suggesting that Chevy would make the theme and make up of the model simpler (more in line with the 1/LE) so that more enthusiasts could enjoy a Z/28. It is a lot harder to justify 75k and up to regular Chevy customers that are not used to spending that amount on a Chevy product.

But....on the other hand..........look around you.....almost all of GM's nameplates have a model at or near $75k. Price exclusiveness no longer is owned by Cadillac. Everything seems to be more expensive.
