I don't see that as all bad. That just means there will be some available in good shape down the road when somebody else wants one.

Ls7 = $14,000
Ls3 = $7799 Less than $7000 price difference. Add that to a base 1le camaro $35,000 Thats $42, 000 Even if you add the cost of a LS7 to a 1le that is about $50,000 with a spare ls3 left over

As a point of reference, Porsche's have a raft of problems as well, though some of the owners choose not to recognize that fact. That's a car twice the price of the Vette or Z/28. And replacement parts are 10x the price :-) No worries, just feeling feisty! Quote:
Anyone clocking track miles understands exactly what they are looking at buying here. The traffic light burnout crowd will figure out the facts real quick after roasting their first set of rear tire$...lol! The bubble-wrapping "collectors" will simply be a great supply of cherry cars for future trackers.

As I said I hope I am very wrong but I am expecting a huge jump in performance. Not sure what power train gets us that though.

That's a lot of spread for a Camaro. I can only see the sense in this for someone that collect cars or someone that spends a lot of time at the track. Everyone is saying this car is such a buy. I don't see it. The ZL1 is the real buy for people that want a fast car that you can live with every day. I'm sure Rick Hendrick will enjoy parking his beside his others.

Wow! What can I say, Al that's a little further north of the ZL1 than I expected, about 10k more. Never dreamed of spending over 80k for a car regardless of what it is. After reading all of the post on this thread I would say out of 100% of the guys that planned on getting one it's about 50-50 on who will actually buy one.
Lot of frowns from the average Joes that would buy one if they were closer to the ZL. I don't like the price but if it will keep the production numbers low and GM will only build less than 3k in a two year span it'll be worth it. But I still think 80k is very pricy for a Camaro. Another thing GM needs to think about is what will Ford do on pricing their "high end Mustang" Cut the price a little and run some loyal Camaro customers to buying Mustangs? Man I hope not. Don't ruin a good thing GM.

Exactly!! I have been pointing this out often here lately. This is the car to offer in 2015 but some folks here continue to miss out on it or keep their blinders on. And the prices you mention are retail and not what GM pays for them, it can be done and should be done. Although 1SS 1LE is closer to $38k and your going to want the $2000 recaros, so we are around $40k and can put that LS7 in and for right around $50k.

Before I saw the video that the Z28 was going to cost north of the ZL1, I was almost sure it was gonna be priced in between the SS and ZL1.. I saw a vote and most votes agreed so I guess I'm not the only one who thought that. Maybe 45k or so? I was shocked at this. Asides from the LS7 motor, what would give it a 20k increase from the ZL1? Sure it's "track ready" but couldn't you just shed weight, etc from a ZL1? I mean not having an AC, HID's, trunk carpet, less speakers, that should drop the price not increase it. I don't know every part on this car so don't attack me Lol
