Re: Z/28 confirmed
Nice. That thing will be a gas guzzler but probably pretty fun to drive.

Re: Z/28 confirmed
I'm more interested in confirmation that GM will still be around in 2012.

Re: Z/28 confirmed
Nice, but I'm guessing that motor is going to really push the price up into the range of several other more interesting cars.

I don't see why not as we now own 60% of it and I don't see any way that we will own less in the near future. |

Re: Z/28 confirmed
i will have to review the article for the exact wording BUT it is said that the car should be competitively priced AND FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE CORVETTE.
so it should be 42-48K.... not including dealer markups. I priced an SS out before,
with minimal options = v8, 6 spd and polished wheels and it was 30,105
so the dealers are blowing the prices up really good right now..... so the Z/28 should be " affordable muscle compared to the vette, like it always was "

Re: Z/28 confirmed
Meh, the price of the vette is going into insane territory now too, good thing resale drops a ton, but I'd hate to be the first owner.

Re: Z/28 confirmed
there's alot of die hards out there that will purchase the car with the intensions of keeping it.
i would hate to buy one " pre-owned" that has been beaten on.... i would need to purchase it from a private party, older person.....
i'm trying to win the lotto. that way i can buy one in each color

Re: Z/28 confirmed
If the Z28 really does come out I'll be surprised. With Fritz and Co it's been back and forth wether or not it will be produced. I think they should go for it to give some competition to the GT500
