BASE for BASE, the Z/28 will be the MOST EXPENSIVE CAMARO TO DATE! The COPOs are going for $150000+ right now. in 20 yrs they wont be worth that. I believe these cars will be like baseball cards. Once were good money, now you can pick em up for peanuts. Once thebaby boomers are gone, the price will fall dramatically.

Base for Base....probably a good rule of thumb for different models that have similar upgrades available...Don't think it applies to a Base Z/28, because there will be no such thing...It is "optioned" out to the max as is.
A/C option for Z/28?...Don't think that will qualify to make the car without it the "Base" Z/28 model.... If GM had said..."The base Z/28 is the highest price base model Camaro ever..." perhaps you would have a point... |

The Z/28 will have a base price because it has a starting point like any other model. If you add the optional A/C, then that increases the price, no?

...That it's being debated in the same arena as the Vette I think is a plus for the Z/28...Whether they price it based on what a comparable Vette is, who knows....But it shows it's in high-dollar territory, that's for sure... and there's a lot more to the Z/28 than just another step-up in the Camaro line.... |

But here's my thing comparing to the Z06, you produced this car to run circles around and compete with many others. Those that race, wouldn't they just buy the Vette and upgrade its components a little to race at the competition the Z/28 is up against? After all, the Vette is in the same races no? I understand they built it with passion and to compete with upper class and annihilate the rest. I get that. But I think they're building it more for nastalgic reasons than just a race car.
Perhaps that may be why they'll ask big money for it?

But I think they actually built it the other way...For race car reasons, not just nostalgia. The Z/28 does have nostalgia appeal, and a Camaro race enthusiast, purist, "purpose built" (for racing) design. If anything GM has made no bones about what the car is meant for, and why it was built that way... Nostalgia wise, racing and "...a sub-set that actually race" got the purpose built car they wanted......not just some nostalgic knock-off for over-all sales appeal...If it were some sort of racing "poser", I'd say you are right...But I don't think you can look at Corvette's to make that assumption and I don't think that's the case with the Z/28...The real race-guys would sniff that out in a heart-beat... Yeah, big money for sure....anything purpose built, limited production, serious racing, has got big dollar signs all over it....Just because it's a Chevy that isn't gonna make racing all that less expensive over-all that I can see... All good...It's not my cup of tea, all too rich for my blood for sure...Not sure if I'd buy one even if the price was 40K...lol...For the big dog, a ZL-1 is looking better and better all the time for me...
