Something to consider is what is your driving skill level? Can you even realistically use the performance of the Z/28? For the price difference between it and a 1LE you can buy a LOT of tires and brake pad replacements and enjoy a terrific track car for years before you hit the $75k mark.
The Z/28 is an awesome car but I think they really intend it to be part of a new manufacturer championship series that is yet to be announced.
Just my 2 cents.
