For your amusement only....Some poor bastard (not on C5) totaled his brand new ZL-1 at the Roval in Fontana about a month ago...He was in one of the more advanced groups, not in mine....lost it on his last session on turn 6....
...Bad luck, too much rwhp....who knows...Nobody knew the guy...He was pretty bummed....and ok. unhurt... ....Just some food for thought....Enjoy... Attached Images This image has been resized.

Ugh. My positive thoughts go out to the driver if he reads this. From a tracker's point of view I'll say I am glad the passenger compartment looks like it held up very well in what appears to be a hard hit with something solid (wall). Makes me feel more secure in tracking the forthcoming Z/28. Good work Chevy.
My second observation is that this is superb motivation to always have track insurance. I know the folks at Lockton Affinity, awesome people and product. |

When he came back with a flatbed, we helped throw all the broken parts in the trash barrels....It was leaking fluids all over the place, the owner actually was able to start it to help get it on the flat-bed...go figure... |

High-performance driving school is worth its cost a thousand times over (life-long "insurance policy"). Even then sh*t happens, someone drops oil or antifreeze on the track and you are along for the ride regardless... |

It was an eye-opener for me...I did the Roval and Buttonwillow with no track insurance....never again....
We had one more session after he crashed....I took it easy and couldn't wait to get off the track...lol.... |

Your kind of making my point, the new Z28 is not fully loaded. And it's at least a 50% markup from a loaded SS for the Z28. I understand you have to pay to play, but seems they have lost touch. I bought my first Z28 just out of high school in '78 which was only 7% more than a rally sport V8. At the time it was not easy to swing it working entry-level full-time but it was possible. Don't get me wrong I would love a new Z28, just think this one has fallen away from it's roots a bit. Just my opinion. I respect those that think otherwise. We all love Camaros . |

Far more loaded than a 1978 Z28 could of been.

$5,800, adjusted for today's dollar (X 5.94), = $34,452, considerably more than its current Base Price. To approximate a Z/28, you'd need to take '69 COPO 9560 ZL1-engined Camaro (@ $7,000 and change) and start adding a very l-o-n-g list of features to it. You'd end up well north of $10,000...which today would be over $60,000...which it will be... |
