While I agree with some if your points, some I don't. I have built my car into a pretty good track day car. I have spent faaar less than $100k. I've probably got $50-55k into my car, and thats with all aftermarket parts. When you compare it some of those high end cars I get what you're saying and see the value proposition compared to those cars. Which IMHO are grossly overpriced. Now the Z28 will come with some really nice go fast parts but they are not coming separately. "Regular" SS parts are replaced with Z28 parts. I get the COPO cars being $100k they are shipped to a seperate facilty and cut, welded, and fabricated into drag strip terrors. I don't think this will be the case with the Z28s.

As far as performance numbers, those will be known by price announcement and order announcement, and then folks can make an edge-a-macated decision...and all the available units will be spoken for, in short order. Regardless of what we say/do, here.... Something you CAN bet on is: Rick Hendrick will buy Production #1 @ B-J Scottsdale in January (he's probably already picked his color). And he'll be the ONLY guy that wants to cut a check for THAT much money... And we'll see ours in April (and after), just ahead of the launch of the next-Gen Mustang on 4/17/14... In the meantime, what we're discussing, here, and about $4 will buy you some kind of Starbucks coffee... B) 1500 427-engined, canyon-carving Z/28s will be spoken for, mighty quickly. Period. "New York minute" comes to mind... Believe it or not, with CAFE '16 rearing its ugly puss, this is the equivalent of 1969 intro, right about now...ONE more Model Year ('15) to go before the "new order" sets in... Get your kicks, while you can. 7.0L V8s will be GONE, baby, GONE... Speaking of which, and encompassing "exclusivity and history", I'll run some '69ish alpha-numerics by y'all: L88, ZL1, COPO 9560 and 9561, LS6, Cross Ram (no numeric), JL8, M22. Breathin' hard, yet? Should be...and your wallet surely would be, too... |

That's where I'm at. A 1LE or a Z51 depending upon how much Z/28 DNA I can add to a 1LE.
