No problems, and to be honest, I don't know if I would have been prepared to spend another 15K on a Z-28 when they were released, which I'm sure will have worse gas mileage than the SS. I want a weekend car with great looks and good power. Not a track star. So in retrospect, I still think I made the right choice. What do you think the chances of people buying Z's are going to keep them for weekend cruises and light driving? What would the general purpose be for Z buyers?

A Z-buyer's motives will be just as varied as the motives as the current buyers. Some of us just don't want someone else modding their car (other than tunes, which I guess I could do if I wanted to spend the time developing the REAL skills to do them). I personally don't have the time anymore to do alot of my own work and I've got three vehicles torn apart right now for various resto/custom work...so being able to get a 500 hp camaro from the showroom and not having to deal with warranty issues for mods (whether they caused the problem or not...let's not go there)...would be worth it to me.
Other buyers will just want the latest/greatest (think people willing to pay 5-10K markups over sticker) and they will run out and trade in their recently purchased Camaro for the new "toy" so they can be "special" again.
Other buyers will want the Z28 because that's what they grew up driving.
I'm glad you are enjoying your car and I personally don't see you being disadvantaged in owning a first year car. Enjoy it and don't worry about everyone else!
