We aren't talking 1969 Camaro Z/28.....we are talking the original Z/28. There's a subtle difference. Further - that was 1969 -- this is 2013. We didn't have crash standards in 1969 We didn't have CAFE in 1969 We didn't live in a litigious society in 1969 And -- apparently we lived in a more reasonable and polite society back then........ Please go price an LS7. Then tell me how you'd offer a car (knowing that every manufacturer has to get to 50+ mpg by 2022 and it's an upward slope. I'll say this again: CAFE WILL NECESSARILY PRICE V8 PERFORMANCE HIGHER AND HIGHER....... That's not something that GM or Ford wants - but it's something we must comply with.

Please stop thinking this is a stripped down car. The car is going to be expensive and rightfully so.

Welp, that about wraps it up then. FbodFATHER has spoken. If ya don't have around $70-75k, then ya don't have a car. Forget about ever owning a Z/28, mod the Hell out your current ride and be happy!

Fbodfather, I wish to thank you and the entire Camaro team for putting together such an awesome Z/28! I have been a Camaro owner and fan since the '60s, having bought new Camaros in '67 (RS) and '69 (Z/28). I was beginning to believe that we'd never see another Z/28 built with the heritage of the original Z/28, the Camaro team has knocked it out of the ballpark and I'm ecstatic! You've always said to "keep the faith" and that practice has finaslly paid a very handsome dividend.

As a Camaro enthusiast and dealership employee, I'm super stoked at the Camaro lineup now. Even though I dispise the hood extractor and chrome on the front bumper of RS cars, I think the lineup is the best it has been since 1969. We're pretty lucky to have such a wide array of cars to choose from. I've been a dealership employee for a long time and this is the best lineup of cars I've ever seen.
If you're complaining about the Z28 being too expensive, you only want the car for the badge. If the 1LE were badged Z28, you would be doing cartwheels with excitement and singing praises to GM. You should be doing that anyway. The Z28 was just a badge for a long time. It's finally getting back to where it all began. Bravo to GM for building this car and not making it a badge like it was for the better part of 30 years. |

I wish I could afford a new Z/28, but I'll be content with my 1LE for now. I owned a '69 Z/28 with standard steering, and a radio. Wonder if the younger generation could imagine wrenching that steering wheel around, with out power assist, and hearing that DZ 302 screaming through the chambered exhaust. The Z/28 is back to it's roots with a vengence.

It seems regardless of price the Z/28 (beside the name) is not what those arguing want anyway. What if GM offered the Camaro with others options and at other pricepoints...Oh they DO!

I HAVE to have a sense of humor! Look at the bashing in the past three days. People are carrying on about tail-lights to the point that you'd think the world was coming to an end. We unveiled a legendary car yesterday -- and yet no matter WHAT we do - we have people saying horrible things...... ...and ONE person wanting to "take it to Camaro5Fest" -- People - how 'bout we stop and think before we post? How 'bout we realize that just because we don't always get what we want doesn't mean that others are completely wrong or that "..the Disciples should be fired!...." Yeah -- I'm just hootin' it up here............
