No.
the original z28 was a track oriented car, so why not reproduce it as such? My only thought on this is that if this car is that banana's can we imagine what the next gen z06 will look like??? If this car got this type of reaction their gonna have to hand out anti-anxiety pills before the reveal.

That's true. But it doesn't mean GM should jack up the price to insure it doesn't make it to the track or be suitable for garage queens. Right? I mean stripped down it shouldn't cost what they're going to charge for it. Plain and simple.

Hand in air. Owned two first gens and tried to make the first one a daily driver at the ripe age of 23.
And Twisty is right...what I posted above does not include the exotic option still available. JL8 and cross ram and such. Those options mesh comparatively well with what we are seeing on the new Z...such as the high $ brakes Recaros and such

I'm not going to copy and paste the entire list of options from that website. I may be going out on a limb, but I assume you can read. The 2014, fewer options, ridiculous pricing. It is what it is. I was hoping for something impressive from Chevrolet, a performance vehicle without an insane price tag. This isn't it. I'll either get a 2012, or buy a car from another manufacturer. It was a long wait for absolutely nothing from my perspective. If you're happy with it and have 70K to burn, more power to you. |

If you want a bargain priced racer that can be driven daily, buy a 1LE and stop complaining. |

New COPO rolling chassis $55,000
New Z-28 WITH MOTOR AND VIN and warrantee... $68-70k sounds good to me

Unless they artificially limit supply they will make it to the track. Look at all the Z06s and other far more expensive cars you see at the track. Can't afford the Z28? Get a 1LE SS. The average driver can't even get close to a 1LE's limits on the track, let alone a Z28.
