Z/28 TO COST $75K+!!!!

[Topnotch]

Chevrolet has taken a page from the Porsche playbook. The lightweight 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 costs $20,000 more than the Camaro ZL1. And it'll be worth every penny.
Like the 1997 Mazda Miata STO, you could call this the Camaro STO, for "Stuff Taken Off." It has no stereo and no air conditioning. No HID headlights. Lighter battery. Thinner glass. Less sound deadening.

But that less also translates to more with 7.0 liters of glorious 505 horsepower LS7 engine, carbon ceramic brakes, and in excess of one G in the corners. There is one $1,150 option package which adds AC and a few speakers back into the car. But only the wimps will buy that.

The Z/28 will be on sale in the spring, and you can get it in red, black, silver, grey, or white. I'll take mine in any color, please.

And you still can't take it to the track and race it at a sanctioned event without changing parts on the car!

Same as any other street car. You can't race a GT500 at a sanctioned event either, nor a Boss 302.

75k for a camaro is a total waste of money unless you think it will be worth twice that in many many years.

Any funny quotes? C5 is blocked here at work. I guess the IT dept's Websense has good taste!

Just another reason GM has lost me as a repeat customer. They are only chasing performance at the top end of the pricing structure. Z28 used to be an affordable nameplate.

I'm glad Ford is offering me the bang-for-the-buck 2015 Mustang GT.
