Ok, ok I read the whole thing and it makes perfect sense...................kinda.
And you've probably noticed that you have adequately described a Z28 in some of the "other" threads............................as long as you aren't one of the LS7ers.

I know you'll enjoy your choice, Dragoneye. What you say makes sense, and I support you in that. I'm sure we all do. I'm just glad that I don't have that much sense. (what LS7?)

Kudos Dragon.. 98% of the time you will get 98% of the joy of a ZL1 I am sure. So a 2% compromise for long term joy with less financial anxiety is absolutely PRICELESS.
You haven't given up a blink of credibility! And, like you, I believe a TH purchase is an excellent buy! Read the story of REDEMPTION from the main page. You can't deceive your own heart now can you? |

Dragoneye,
What if there would have been a low to mid 40's Z28 available (as spec'd out in the Z28 section of the forum)? Would you still be looking at a modded SS? |

....Chance, this discussion has caused me to re-evaluate the whole situation, and Dragoneye's THR decision is a viable approach giving him a clear cut choice inbetween the SS and the ZL1 where Chevy does not. There is no Z-28 middle runner option, or perfomance factory upgrades to the SS, and Chevy isn't going to do it anytime. That has been made perfectly clear during the ongoing Z28 discussion. Clearly the ZL1 is a special car that is in a special rarified category spec'd out to the hilt with everything for everyone. It will be Chevy's equivalent of the Saturn V rocket . The price will reflect that, and price is a determining factor for most of us in making the decision as Dragoneye pointed out. In regards to price and getting what you want, if you want something that does not exist, within reason it can be done yourself alacarte through authorized Chevy hot rod dealer menus. Bravo Dragoneye....BTW THR is making me rethink my position. And, for the record, I am not of one of those rebel rouser LS7'ers.....LOL , I would just like some real choice, remember when we had high performance upgrades and options a long time ago, or even into the not so distant past?......something other than cosmetic add-ons that don't improve the performance of the vehicle. Decals, plastic accoutraments, and wheels and alike are nice to personalize the look of your new car.... but what about to improve the performance of your new car. It's about affordability, and choice....

Hmm. Less engine cover. Good. Still too much covering though. =/

The point is many are upgrading their cars, why shouldn't GM get in on that??? The gap in pricepoint puts the ZL1 in exclusive territory that many can't or won't afford. Dragoneye is the perfect example for a higher performing Camaro at a more reasonable pricepoint than the ZL1 will be offered at. Having looked back a little closer at your comments it appears that you are on our team! Welcome aboard! Last edited by 2cnd chance; 07-26-2011 at 02:48 PM. |
