You think everyone is doing it for money.... Idon't.

I say hat's off to the collectors. Let them have their fun how they see fit....Even so-called garage queens and museum cars do get driven from time to time by their owners...they don't sit and rot...
....Like others, I'd do it if I had the means....Hobbies and car collecting has been going on forever....I don't think any collector is looking to get rich or make a killing with it as an investment....They've already "made it" and that's why they have the luxury and option of just buying and collecting one for fun...All good... |

For those hatin' on Leno, look at this entire episode as...an episode! It's on-line Marketing. Who else has a blog or website with as much audience as Leno and Leno's Garage? If YOU do, please advise GM. They NEED you!
This entire episode was loosely scripted. Leno walks him through it. Leno's the straightman. Al's the star. Confirming specs that Leno feeds him, or answering Leno's leading questions. Leno's comfortable in front of the camera(s). He does this for a living, and is VERY well-paid. Al? Not so, but he's improving. And Leno's a helluva coach. Only the couch, and the studio audience, was missing. Leno has a long-established relationship with GM. Recall the 1st crate 572 went into his Roadmaster. With his name carved in the rocker covers. Recall the SEMA '09 Leno Camaro. Recall GM's assistance with his turbine one-off. His RWD Toronado. Recall his association with Welburn. Recall his stature amongst the auto community at large. Very large! "1,500 per year". Folks, from April '14 to the end of Gen-5 production, mid-'15, doesn't equate to "3,000". More likely to be 375 or so per 1/4. And, if April '14 is launch (no pun), it may in fact be titled and VIN'd as a MY '15. As to a dealer test-drive, there'll be a BUNCH of dealers that never SEE one, let alone be able to offer t/d's. Sad, but most certainly true. As to a price North of a ZL1, that's because a ZL1's usual road course track time will be NORTH of a Z/28. As in GREATER, time-wise. No other Manufacturer has this delightful dilemma. Get on a list. NOW! Last edited by SEVEN-OH JOE; 08-13-2013 at 02:51 PM. |

Yes, if you claim you want one and don't already have a signed buyers order with selling price noted, then you don't *really* want one. It's just that simple. The phone and internet are your friend to find one at the price you seek. No whining from those too lazy to do the homework |

This video makes me happy to have my 1LE. I already have a few parts from the Z28; tranny, rear end, but cannot wait until they release that intake!

While the gear ratios are the same, the differential will be different in the Z/28. The operation of the Z/28 differential will be more like the ZL1 with less slip to put power down coming out of corners.
