Toys cost money. Really cool toys cost even more. This Z/28 is more, far more than any Z/28 has ever been, therefore expect to pay for it.
BTW, look up the price on a "fully loaded" 1969 Z/28 and compare it to other 1969 cars. http://www.chevyinfo.net/?page_id=271

agree, with both of you. I think having any car for a toy is expensive . Having a car that you want willbe very expensive. Having a car that you and everyone else wants will be super expensive.

Depending on how soon I can finish school and what kind of job I get, I would buy one. If not a Z/28, then a 1LE for sure.

$65K is at least $15k less than I expect. Time will tell.

They just don't understand the value that the new one is bringing to the table though. |

I have been invited to a number of Pontiac Engineer Reunions and met the pilot (test driver) for the first 1964 GTO. They called him the pilot he was a pilot, but his testing of the first goat explains why things are different and cost more today.
He told me he took it around the perimeter road at what is now the Warren Technical center. It felt good so I kept going faster. I got it a little over 100 and said it was good to go. Back in 1969 there was no EPA validation for 50 states, there was no crash testing, they didn't spend day after day in the wind tunnel, and the list goes on. Just think of the expense for crash testing the Z/28 due to lower ride height with the 305/30/19s. The vehicle cost is insignificant in comparison to the computer and lab time. |

While I am just speculating, I can't imagine that GM would have to provide separate crash test data if there has not been any structural changes to the frame of the car. The Z/28 is really a highly modified SS if I remember correctly. No way they crash test a fully equipped Z/28 if there is no crumble zone or impact zone changes as it has the same frame as the SS if I am remembering correctly.

ok, well I stand corrected. I hope they put something else in it beside the very constrained LS7.
