[Repost from 11/08/11, a week before ZL1 pricing announcement]
Business Case Review:
2SS - 1SS = $3,600
1SS = 1LT in non-driveline content (20" - 18" alloys excepted)
1LT - 1LS = $2,000 + $600 (18" alloys - 18" steelies) = $1,400, net.
Therefore, a 1SS built with 1LS content/trim (Z/28 basics) = $5,000 advantage over ZL1 content/trim (at least!)
Soooo...Z/28 basics + LS7 = $5,000 price advantage over ZL1! Keep in mind, folks, that a ZL1 includes MR and all the HD driveline bits 'n pieces and forged 20s/tires...and the coolers...and so would the Z/28...with about 175 fewer lb, mostly off the nose...
Whatever the price released in 7 short days' time for the ZL1, you could have yourself an LS7-Z/28 (-150 to 200 lb.) for at least $5Gs less...
If you make all the ZL1 trim trinkets optional on Z/28 (as essentially a 2SS upgrade), along with the coolers 'n such, an LS7 - Z/28 could, in fact, Base for $47,000...and a 1SS - 1LE would arrive @ $40, or less...
1LE @ $40 = BOSS
Z/28 @ $47 = BOSS LS
Want one?
If so, please don't keep it a secret from GM...
And if you really-really want Boston Accoustics and Back-up Camera and cowhide seats 'n such, why there's always an option box or two to tick...along with the coolers...
