Yes it will, and for that reason it will always be special. I just hope that owners get them on the track and drive them the way they are meant to be driven

...I'm just long in the tooth, bitter and jaded. For those today with the expendable income who are on the up side, it's the car to get. It's a bad ass ride, I just can't swing it, and I wanted it. But, I have something in my garage that's makes me happy. The Z monikor is different, but it's a keeper and I shall accept the fact. It still has the giddy up and go factor thats insane, but this new Camaro Z/28 is made of stuff in epic proportions to go flat out. And it will be a true brass ring on the Chevy merry go round ride to obtain.

Words of wisdom regarding comparing any cars re: track performance.

And lest we forget: thanks to the Z/28, a ZL1 can now be driven off a GM dealer lot with Recaro seats and Z/28 rims/rubber

Holy CRAP! That seems like entirely too much for a Camaro, especially considering the entry price of the new Corvette Stingray.

RLHMARINES · 01-22-2014, 05:26 PM

How much would it cost you to build one to compete with this Z/28?

Why are some here trying to hamper the rest of us enthusiast from experiencing the most track focused Camaro ever offered from the factory? Is it only because it does not fit in some folks idea of what a high performing Camaro should be or what price boundary it should reside in?

Just be found of the model that you can afford to enjoy and take pride in ownership and let the rest of us who may or may not have the means but surely do have the desire to lust after our TWO halo models, ZL1 & Z/28, I know I will.

I'm not liking the fact that car prices as a whole are much higher as compared to the past 30 plus years but thats what it is and we cannot change that. We should not discriminate against the Camaro lineup for having a high end halo model this generation due to it not having such a price point like this in its past but we also did not have a model like this in the Corvette lineup until the ZR1 model made its debut either.

Things evolve, so should we. We all will be better for it.

Right now I haven't tracked or modded my SS "enough" to the point where I feel a Z/28 would be a smart move....For sure the Z/28 has been fun to follow and somewhat of an inspiration to play on the track with my current car...Sort of a late bloomer to the whole track thing, so jumping whole hog into a Z/28 right now wouldn't be all that comfortable finance-wise and skill-wise...But it's something to keep in mind for the future, for sure...

...but that price gap is filled by the ZL1.

^^^Agree. Speaking for myself, it wouldn't matter if I was driving my ZL or a Z28 as both exceed my driving ability. That's the part I find funny with all these debates on what car is all this or that, because from the time I've spent at the track only a small percentage of people can ever come even close to pushing a car near its threshold.

I doubt that I'll out drive my 1LE for quite some time... the two Z's are way above my capabilities.

And this "fact" comes from where?

The fact that dealers carry parts for the cars they sell. And aided by a recently discovered "parts" thread

LOWDOWN · 01-23-2014, 05:37 PM

Oh? So not OEM. In that case, you can drive away from some Chev dealers with BBSs and Hoosiers, too.

Since you're the picker of nits, perhaps you, as well, should fully explain what some may construe as erroneous and misleading information...

Thanks.

No, fully GM OEM. If a Z/28 guy/gal damages a rim they buy a replacement wheel at a GM dealer and that's still considered OEM - isn't it? It is GM, so, OEM and not BBS, CCW or another aftermarket firm.
