The good news is I have a renewed interest in my car that I lost for a day or so...

I thought the ZR1 was the most expensive Camaro offered. Not counting the new 69 copos.

The is no such thing as a Camaro ZR1.

Well this will certainly sqaush the dreams of a lot of people who yesterday thought they would be getting it. Will not be seeing many of these on the road, that's for sure.

They didn't build this car for race interested ppl. They built it so the ones who wanted it could drool and the ones who can afford it to buy them up and store them in a vault.

It's sad the nostalgia increases the price heavily. With all the comfort and amenities dropped from the car,the price of just the car itself without the Z-28 specific parts would bring it to be around $20-26k tops? Leaning more towards $20k. Add in the specific parts and it shouldn't be more than 45k. They're into producing dream cars rather than cars made for the general public. The regular everyday ppl wanted the ls7 camaro, the regular everyday ppl wanted the z-28 and GM delivers something the avg guy can just wish and dream about. Rather pathetic dont you think?

Pricing aside, I think the Z/28 throws a great concept and fresh ideas into the mix for all of us, and some may have forgotten...No frills, factory performance, cars that we can race...all our cars have great handling and track capablility built in already....Take them out to the track and race them!...It's in your Camaro's DNA...Don't be bummed over the price of the Z/28...It's a fantastic addition to the Camaro family....Enjoy!

What was the price of a Z06 with the LS7 engine? The Z/28 probably has more technology in it than the C6 Z06. I wonder what the difference in performance numbers will be?

On chevrolet.com, the Z06 runs $76K to $85K between the 1LZ and 3LZ packages. 505 Hp 470 Tq, 3.7 sec 0-60.

You think the Z/28 will be less than that?

It'll be 505 HP no doubt. I'm happy they produced it, just pissed that they're gouging for nostalgia.

Kids used to have dreams about growing up and owning Z/28's!! Now they will grow up to be men and never feel like kids again because they will never own or drive a Z/28. Well except for maybe Rick Hendrick's kids.

Less comfort and less power than a ZL1 at a higher price. Pretty simple choice for me if I was buying right now.

Meh, they can have an SS and feel just as kid-like. I know I do in mine.
