What was the point? Price? I thought that is what we were talking about here.

The good news the new Z/28 is not a decal and badge package. They really went all out.
The bad news is they really went all out, and priced me out of the market. I've had two Z/28's over my lifetime, a '73 and a '78. I was really hoping to make this one number "3", but not at this price. And not without the basics in terms of amenities for driving it on the street (like sound insulation, A/C and a radio). Regardless, I hope they do well with the car. Michael |

I'ld like to see the LS7 as an option for the 1 or 2 SS/RS. I think a brake upgrade may be necessary but suspension wise, the platform should be able to handle it. That would make a well optioned / powerful street car that is affordable even with an 8k add for the engine package. 6spd manual or automatic like the ZL1.

yea i was thinking of putting my 2010 ss up for sale and getting the z-28 but its going to be out of my price range. the z-28 name is now bigger than ever with this price range and not making so many. i guess its just an investment for the rich, for this car will be gold in 30 years.

I may not drive one of these cars, but that doesn't mean I can't voice my opinion about it. Welcome to the internet where everyone has a voice. And when was the last time you built an engine or calculated CI? Do you know the formula? Do you know everything involved? The CI i posted is the CI for the LS3, so 2ci off for the new LT1 isn't a big whoop. Something changed in the stroke or the bore size is all, but I'm sure you knew that

When you see carbon ceramic breaks you know it is going to be expensive. The other thing you need to think about is yes it is a stripper but the weight was engineered out of the car - not necessarily JUST stripped (yes carpet, speakers, ac) but the recaros, breaks, thinner glass, stripped wiring harness, forged wheels, r compound tires (or damn close) that is where the money is at. One could even bring up the ls7 is more expensive than the LSA - which is true but that is offset by not having mag ride like the zl1 - which would essentially put it at an equal price point until you add all the aforementioned goodies. Overall, I'm calling less than 70k. Some of the styling throws me off and I would venture the 6th gen will be an even better platform for a car of this nature. So while I wait and enjoy the Camaro I have - I have utmost respect and anyone that is looking at a z28 is getting a hell of a car. Hopefully this theme will cross into the 6th gen!

How many people drag their car? Should GM not put high horsepower engines in the Camaro because not everyone takes ther car to the drag strip? |

The Z28 is for the rich only. Average folks need not apply. I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

Wow. That is a bit shocking. I figured that it would be in the 50k range. Somewhere above the SS and below the ZL-1.
But the motor is expensive.
