The Corvette is the top of the performance food chain with GM and everything else will be lessor as not to tarnish the image, no matter what the cost! The Z28 will be priced less than 50K and will be more than likely a low boost application.

Of course you can modify it and outperform (insert whatever you want) but I'm saying off the showroom floor numbers and performance!!

FLAME ON!!!!!
I don't think anyone's arguing Corvette is at the top of the food chain; it always has been. I think it's uber cool to see GM matriculate some more 'Vette pieces into Camaro (well - I guess it's more CTS-V, but you get my point). Camaro's arch nemesis is Mustang

40-45k....

60-65k is close to Z06.

I agree though its cheaper to get an SS and mod it, but for those who haven't bought a Camaro yet, like myself, this will be a very nice welcome.

I remember all of us were having price discussions for the v6 and v8 and a lot over shot the price. I think when all is said and done, the Z28 will be shocking in price (in a good way)

None-the-less the extended time will put me in good position to order one by then.

...and no one should feel bad for owning an SS or LT for that matter when the Z28 arrives, they're all great cars!
