Nail on the head
Chevy hit the freaking nail square on the head. This car is awesome. Would love to see it be a "real" lightweight body (3800lbs is joke), but those ceramic brakes and that 427 will work at the track all weekend long. Can't wait for pricing.

Y'all DO realize that a '69 Camaro SS 396 with Automatic, full Power, and A/C weighed 3800 lbs...dontcha?
This "thing" about weight...the LS7 puts out more REAL power than the '69 ZL1 engine made... The Basic Laws of Physics...and modern tire tech and electronics...will overcome a LOT! Put away the rose-colored glasses. |

That's a good point. I can tell you stories. Ask a military vet how the other half lives.

I don't know why I keep coming back to this thread. As for the comments of "the entitled society", that's not it at all. Excuses are not an option! I believe in: "If you work hard enough, you can do anything you want". I did. A's in school, college degree from PITT, now I'm an engineer. Bust it hard...do as you please. Simply put, most of the people "complaining" on here, are just surprised that this thing is going to cost upwards of $70k. I don't think many expected that. I know I didn't. I expected a $50k, souped up SS. Hey, it's not a $50k car and that's fine. The car is still awesome! I'm just not as willing to shell out $70k OR MORE for this car. To each his own! Chevy made a complete BEAST.

The "true Z28" didn't even come with posi...it was an option. I just dont see how the radio became a part of the performance discussion.

I think GM hit a home run with this car. However, it would have been nice if they called the full race version the Z/28 Heritage Edition and also introduced a more streetable version (Z28 1LE) for the masses with the key performance options and some creature comforts to allow for DD.

LOL!!! you have no clue do you? The #1 selling sports car the last three years and running.. They will sell every one of these cars just as fast as the COPO's with or without you and the rest of the haters in this thread.. As someone said earlier in this thread. this car could come with the bare floors and they would sell every one of them..

For those who want more creature comforts you have the ZL1, 1LE, and SS. Anyone complaining about how this car is stripped down – you are not in the target audience; show's over - nothing to see here. In my eyes this car is FULLY LOADED.
