Don't forget, it costs more to remove parts from a car than what is originally designed for!!

They want to order 60 at $60K and 6 at $80+ They have received NO guidance on pricing.

I believe you. Still hoping for 60

Development co$t$: the more they're able to build, the lower the Unit Co$t (and, potentially, the Piece Co$t).

BUT...

The fewer they're ABLE to build, the greater the Unit Co$t.

I do NOT see this car being built in "unlimited numbers"...

$59,900 plus freight, gas tax and options, IE a/c.

...I'm pretty much convinced it's beyond my price range by all accounts so far and I'm trying to get over it....shoot I have the best Camaro ever made up 'till now anyway....and it's a sweet ride bar none, but I'm an adrenaline driver, and a Z-28 junky from my past, so you know how that goes....one can always be cautiously optomistic....within reason.

Sven59 · 07-09-2013, 09:52 PM

$72,995

That's how I felt about the ZL1. I wanted a SS but being out of work pushed me into a 2LT/RS 45th. The difference in payment for me was almost double for a 2SS/RS 45th. Maybe one day in the future I would e able to find a preowned zl1.

I forgot to make a phone call. I need to borrow 25 cents.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 07-09-2013, 10:34 PM

IMO this car will be in $80K + range, and will only see 1500 made over 1-2 years, i hope i am off but do not think so.

He thinks that this new group of buyers will more than make up for the lack of traditional Camaro buyers that may not want to spend what it takes to get a Z/28.

He stressed that the Z/28 will not be for everyone

So, I left very excited and though I am not sure I will actually pull the trigger on one, it is nice to know that it looks as though people who want one and have the resources to get one will be able to do just that.

I'd say this part of the dealer's speculation is spot on....and the price?...Looking at how they may market this one, maybe 80k if you're lucky...I still think it will be even more...

t&t moyer · 07-10-2013, 01:07 AM

If it falls in the sub-$70k range I'll be in line to dump my 1LE and order up a new Z/28 in a heartbeat. I'm not looking for a radio or air conditioning.............. Bare bones, that's it!!

Steve_RS_Camaro · 07-10-2013, 03:41 AM

This is the first time I have had cash in hand $70 - $80K I have always bought off the shelf so to speek. I have usualy setteled for a used model 1 year or 2 old but this time I want a new Z28 my way. like I said I have cash in hand save just for this and if I can not get one because they only make 1500 and I do not know any GM big wigs to get my name to I will be so upset. I have saved thinking of the ZL1 but hearing roumers of the Z28 changed my mind and decided to wait and see what was coming then the unvailing I loved it and thought there it is "unlike the COPO that was basicly lotteryed off" I finaly have my chance at a great spiecal model Camaro. I hope there will be one for me I keep my eyes on this site daily and poke in on others from time to time. Looking forward to seeing my name on the list this spring as Z28 on order delivery date XXXX.
