Some might, most won't...unless there's a SERIES created for cars of this ilk! Hmmmm... B) Peruse this very Section, particularly the Pedders thread ( http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149090 ), and you'll find a cadre' of Camaro folks who had a crystal-clear vision of what a Z/28 could/should/will be and you'll find, now, 2 schools: 1) Those who were VERY happy the ZL1 was thusly named. Those who seriously sought an augmented 1LE with LS7 power and a lower Curb Weight and "enhanced FE4 suspension" without MRC, built sooner and therefore defraying co$t$ more broadly to enable a lower price tag AND broader market penetration...and; 2) Those who sought a COPO-for-the-road-course-with-a-VIN version...who obviously were closer to the mark because they KNEW the time required and, therefore, the limited number to be built to defray those program-necessary costs. So, "while we're at it, let's make this version a true BENCHMARK...for ALL others to shoot for"...which is what we're all getting. And, frankly, we should be proud of what that will be, price included. It'll own an $89,995 BOSS 302 S (let alone an LS) on equivalent tires, cost less, have a VIN, be streetable, be insurable...and be more "fun" more often. Now, let's hope the Gen-6 Z/28 arrives in a much more timely fashion, beats this version in most metrics, and costs somewhere closer to what we had initially hoped for for the Gen-5 version. THAT one I anxiously await, as well... Last edited by LOWDOWN; 08-27-2013 at 03:42 PM. |

damn that is a lot of money. I think it would be better to build a Z28 equivalent using aftermarket products.
Not that the Z28 is bad or anything. It is awesome. Just sayin it may be more fun to build one instead. |

I was excited to get the LS7 in a Camaro. I don't care what other people like. |

I'm gonna use what Justice Pete said once as a back-up...(hope he doesn't mind...lol)....that was if price is between 75-80K, GM would be giving them away...
...gonna stick with my original guess in the other thread: 100K....(sorry).... |

Russo, which would you rather have for YOUR $80 or $90Gs: A BOSS 302S, or a Z/28? Simple question, which requires NO comment on the beauty of anyone's progeny...
Now, what happens if the ZEE comes in at "under-$70"? Frankly, at this very moment, NO ONE KNOWS, YET... |

for that price range I would buy a 2012 GTR or a new M3 and pocket the extra cash.. if I had to choose between those two I would get the z28.. if it was the next body style Mustang and they made a Boss 302 LS, I would buy that over a z28... I would admit, something about buying track car for the street turns me off.. only people who could do it right are the Germans and I wouldn't even buy a Black Series Benz

ABSOLUTELY, Russo, but it DOES give a frame of reference to any more of your posts on this topic...wouldn't you say?
