50K?

I don't think it's that cheap.

Does anyone know what a Nascar Cup car roughly costs?

Hell the engine alone can go for above 50k. Last I remember seeing it cost upwards of 150k+ for the car.

I watched all 3 days of the Barrett-Jackson auction and every time they showed the zl1 commercials, I wanted one even more.Only thing I can say about the carbon flash car sold is awesome.WAY TO GO GM! not to shabby for a car company that almost went belly up.

The reason that the underside and engine compartment is red is because this the Victory Red ZL1 that was introduced at the Chicago Auto Show in April with the polished wheels, no sunroof and manual transmission. They wrapped the car in a Carbon Flash paint color for the auction. After the auction is over they will peel the carbon flash color off and send it to it's next display location. I know because I was there and saw the car myself and spoke with Chevy reps at the ZL1 display. The car in my avatar, is the car hiding under the Carbon Flash wrap.

^It must also be the one that was at NYIAS. This one.....





That's an amazing transformation.

We all guessed Rick Hendrick would buy it or Leno! But I think the first ZL1 will sell for a lot more!

Just like you giving to your favorite charity, you can claim that on taxes. Each year I give clothing, articles and other things to Goodwill and I can claim it on my taxes. Business expenses have been around forever. You take a person to lunch and talk a little about your business or product you write that lunch off as a business transaction. Rick will right that money off and more than likely have the ZL1 he gets sitting in his showroom for a period of time and either keep it or sell it to the highest bidder one day but rest assured, HE'LL BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO GET ONE WHEN THEY ROLL OFF THE LINE, I DON'T CARE WHEN YOU ORDERED! As they say, Money talks and walks!

Am I the only one that wants one of those kool ZL1 Hats & Shirts they were wearing? Hurry up Chevymall.com and put some Camaro ZL1 shirts and clothing up in time for Christmas!

I actually sent Chevrolet a message on Twitter (@Chevrolet) asking how I can get one of those shirts. They said they'd look into it and get back to me. Here's to hoping we can get some!
