I know that just on a luggage needed basis, the trip would have been impossible in a Vette, actually.

Top speed is limited to 175 mph in the auto (to preserve the tranny), but the manual will storm to an autobahn-melting 193 mph. As the Z/28 will weigh 200 to 300 pounds less than the CTS-V, it may nail 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and run the quarter in the very low 12s. This Z28 could be the fastest Chevy ponycar since the legendary ZL-1-powered COPO 9560 Camaros built 40 years ago.

lol!!!! I would like to Chevrolet produce this car. That would make 2 very fast cars in Chevy's arsenal, the Z28 and the Corvette. I don't think it will be near 65k, like someone stated. Maybe more like 45-50k I'm guessing?? That might even be a bit high?

That's LS3 z51/ grand sport territory.

With the median household income in the US only being $54,920 last year i cant see them pricing this car in the high 40's/low 50's if they want to move a lot of them. I guess u can move fewer at higher margin or move a lot more at lower..guess we will see which road they choose. For me, since its more of a toy car, if priced to high (high 40's-low 50's) i will just go with my original plan and build a Prostreet 68 Camaro.

The Z06 doesn't look like a Camaro though.

Are you seriously going to drive a 550 hp track suspension camaro 1500+ mile trips? Plus I believe vette "trunk" has more cubic feet

There you go, reason #1 why I won't get a Z06. Don't get me wrong I love the way the Z06 looks but it's no Camaro. I want a car with F/I for a change as well.

Can't wait for the comparisons to hit the rags. Will be interesting. The gt500 should be lighter but has less hp. Don't they run 4.5 to 60?

I think it looks incredible and is a more well rounded car. As much as I love the Camaro, it's in a different league.

Dude, I just blew $50K on my car to have it set the way I wanted and forewent the convertible in the process because Chevrolet couldn't get their act together for 2010. Now with this lousy news, I have to settle for third best?! Car is a niche vehicle at best. Why waste time and resources on putting it out there? All I have to say is * you GM; * you and thanks for wasting my money and my time!

Dude....do you have any idea how awesome your car looks??? There's a ton of people on this board who would take your car in a heartbeat....adn even more off the board who would want it. You are pretty lucky. If you want the Z28, you are going to have a couple years to enjoy the SS you have now. Then, just trade up. It won't be difficult to sell that work of art in you sig...
