Since it is a year out try not putting your tops down, don't use your air, no stereo, and put junk tires so you have a lot road noise, drive it all summer and tell me you would still want this car. The ZL1 and the C7 Stingray are so close in performance, why give everything else up? If you want a track car buy a used Z06 for less money. When it comes to spending real money, not just saying on Camaro5 that are going to get one, very few people will buy this car. Last edited by Kevlar382; 03-30-2013 at 07:44 AM. |

And that is the whole purpose of this car. It's going to be very limited because of its purpose as a street legal car you can drive to the track and race then drive home. No fancy trailers needed...For any other purpose there is already a Camaro you can buy that will work.

I say kudo's to GM for finally getting the Z28 out of the gate. Can't say I'm a fan of the new 2014 rear or the fugly hood but camaro guys have been screaming for the LS7 from the factory for a while. IMO the Z28 is going to fill that "collectable" factor for camaro fan's that has been missing (with the exception of the COPO). So glad to see muscle cars making a strong comeback, no matter which of the "big three" your a fan of...

Actually it will be limited because they are only allowed to build X amount of LS7's a year...

They'll sell as many as can be built.

You don't understand, it's being made for a limited group of people, not for everyone. Those that are serious track people... They have the ZL1 and 1LE for everyone else...

It's worth having because of the performance. Just because you don't like it that way doesn't mean others don't.

I have a ZL1. Don't see why people wouldn't want to drive to the with track in more comfort and have just as much fun. I was planning on buying a Z/28 also but was hoping it would be a 1LE LS7. (and keep the ZL1) I love Z/28's, I still have the 71 RS Z/28 my parents bought new me for my 16th birthday, and kept buying other Z/28s though out the different gens. The 71 is the only one I thought was worth keeping. I also have a 57 Chevy Conv that my dad bought new and left it to me when he died. I have 7 cars and the only ones I don't drive are those because they have no air, am in one and 8 track in the other.
I DO GET IT. I totally understand the car. Just don't understand why people would want it in todays world and why they would settle for it. Most won't go that much faster in the Z/28 than the ZL1 or the 1LE for that matter, the couple times a year that they track there car. They would probable have just as much fun in almost any high performance car. Just don't see why I should give up the nicest things about a car to maybe go a little faster. Just how fast they are really going to be is yet to be seen. I'm guessing the gen 6 Z/28 will be faster and I will be able to get it the way I want. This one seems like a way to use up C6 Vette parts that they didn't know what to do with, but it wasn't fast enough so they striped it. I will be keeping my ZL1 also because it's any unbelievable car on the street that is also a lot of fun on a track. Sorry to vent on you guys, just wish they would have let us who don't care about a second or two a lap order the car the way we wanted it. Was really looking forward to having both Zs. Hope everybody has a safe and happy Easter |

Release of this mighty Z/28 reminds me of when Ford introduced the limited edition Boss 302 (especially the Laguna Seca) in 2011... targeted at track enthusiasts. Basically the Z/28 has a similar scope... for those seriously interested to primarily track it... but obviously there will be many who'll acquire one to garage and for bragging rights so to speak. This Z/28 is a game changer in terms of high performance muscle/track car capability... will be collectible as well. The ante has seriously risen.
