This car is totally unique, and will never be repeated. I do not think Chevrolet will ever build a car that is single purpose like this, without electronics and gadgetry galore. I rejoice in the fact that this car is bare bones, ready for the track. No magnetic shocks, no adjustable this or that. It comes one way, ready to race. When they make a Gen 6 Z28 it will be a street car that can be adjusted to use on the track. NOT THE SAME THING! The LS7 is an amazing engine, and it will also never be repeated. Turbos and superchargers are not the same as naturally aspirated, and cannot be made to drive the same.

I love this car for what it is, and the fact that Chevrolet never got to the 5,000 units they hoped to sell proves it is not a car for everyone, and they probably lost money on it. Again a big reason it will never be repeated.

I believe this car is the end of an era. Soon all cars will drive themselves and be filled with electronic wizardry that will continue to lessen the driving experience we all crave. I believe the future value of the car will be good, but only when people recognize how great the car really is, and that it gives it's owners a driving experience that is like no other.
Doubtful. There is always something better. It's what manufacturers do.
