Z/28 to be the most expensive camaro offered

Aerodynamics? More power to answer that(insert manly grunts here).

Look at the F-4 Phantom, it's living proof if you put big enough engines on a brick... it WILL fly.

I'll take power over aerodynamics, but at least make sure that the suspension is there to support it. Without that, all your power drives you right into a wall at the track.

That is far from a cheap build, and I haven't even addressed aerodynamics, wheels, and tires.

aim lower... a beat to hell one and rebuild it with GOOD stuff instead of stocker stuff.

basically find a rolling chassis SS even if it has a million miles on it..
rip out interior.
put in cage and some Recaros remove rear seats and anything else not tied down
rebuild engine from bottom to top with end goal in mind ( boost or NA)
complete race coil over suspension and a brakes upgrade.
betting you can be at this level for under 40k total
if you find the right donor car.

No bling.. no options.. just a bad mother street/track machine.

Mod the z/28 for me . Ive done all of that other stuff before. I wanna see what the z/28 can do with my mods.

same thing any stripped SS with a LSX in it can.. prolly worse since it is factory and not built and tuned for the purpose.
nothing that special.
overpriced.. collector/car show car is what it will end up.

What we do know is that stripped ss won't have any value after . And you won't even b close to getting what u invested. I know I would never give close to what ur asking

and unless you put that Z/28 in a climate controlled warehouse and NEVER drive it it wont be worth anything either especially if driven on the track as they were meant for.

Lol. Mayb ur right buddy , hopefully 1 day we can meet and put the cars on side each other and finish this . How bout that

Having been schooled on difference of a Z/28 and Z28 , the price is inline what was said by the spokesman during the reveal "the most highly collectible Camaro of all time"

Camaro Team listened, gave every Z/28 diehard what they wanted

weight reduction
LS7
big brakes
suspension


Home run for sure...............

Why bother with a late model Camaro then? Go buy a Fox body Mustang and you could accomplish this for much, much cheaper.

Sorry, but I think the "well if I start modding <xyz> car and it'll be better than <abc> car!" is just about the lamest argument/excuse in the history of the internet. You can mod anything to be fast, that's really not the point. The Z28 is a badass car. Sure, you can mod your SS to perform like the Z28, but at the end of the day, you still have an SS and he still has a Z28.

I was taught very well too. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

The Z/28 is fairly priced, look at the tech its sporting. But anything over $60,000 for a modern American pony car is a bit much in my book.

Completely agree.

I was going to say the 'vette too, preferably a used C6 Z06. I also agree in that I wouldn't pay $60k for a pony car either, Ford, Chevy or Dodge. That's bonafide sports car territory and that's what I'd rather have if performance is the name of the game.

Lol. And therein lies the problem. You don't want it to fly! That's why you need the aero.
