INTRODUCING the new z28..

[JCzNova]

neither is their a 45k difference between the ss and zl1 which is the same as the comparison between the gt and the gt500.

where do you guys come up with these numbers. the lt or v6 starts at 24k, ss starts a 34k, zl1 starts 56, and z28 start 75k

camaro had rs,z28 in 1992 that was it.

Ok, is the GT-500 $45k more than V6?

I think everyone is looking at the $51k swing in price.

actually a inflation calculator put 17k in 1992 money at 28,240 today. But they also made what two models in 92 the v6 and the z28. which had zero tech and most of the car was constructed from off the shelf parts. the top tog camaros of today have special materials to lighten them, new upgraded axles ext. lets not forget every ls7 is hand built and use special parts it is very expensive to produce. Imagine how much your 1996 would have cost if gm did an all out performance build on it. They put the lt5 in it, upgraded axles specifically built for it, up graded brakes, cooling system, suspension and so on.

you guys are not comparing apples to apples your going well top level camaro in 92 was x amount and now a top level camaro in 2014 is x amount when relativistically a top level camaro in 92 is on par with a ss which is toward the botom of the ladder. Again go back to the 60's and 70's and look at the top level cars back then they were very expensive when compared to wages its why only 2 zl1 corvettes were sold in 1969.

Z28 Camaro with LS7=75,000 msrp
2013 Corvette Z06 with LS7=75,600 msrp

Do you see how ridiculous that looks. You spend the exact same for a still heavy Camaro with a LS7 as you would for a much lighter faster and more nimble Z06.

Yes the LS7 is hand built but it is a14,000 engine. Which is little over 7,000 more then a LS3. Sorry I don't see the 75,000 value in the new Z28

[JCzNova]

There was BARELY a $55k difference from a base Corvette to the supercharged ZR1 when it came out.

I have to agree that its way over priced for a camaro, BUT if you look at the performance level of it, its one of the lower priced at that level. Porsche is 80-90k, Lambo LP690 is 200k ish. And really look at the GT500 that is base at 65k....the new z28 is basicly a street legal COPO...

Yes i love the look of the z28. But you can get a used SS and clone it for loss then half the price.

Larry said his bird cost 17k in 92 and said that was a blue collar price. You equated that to 30k in "today's money", and said it was at the price of an SS. Then you said 17k in 92 equaled 28,240. Then you said an ss is 34k. You're everywhere with these numbers and calculations.

Im sorry man I'm lost. v6 mustand starts at 22k, gt starts and 35k, gt500 55k, no 4th level mustang? seems to me to be about on par with the camaro. I might be missing something but I dont see on their page a level above the gt500 which is on par with the ZL1. I honestly dont think I understand what your trying to say other then the difference between the top and bottom.

I dont see how we can judge anything about the new z28 till actual specs are released. your are basing the entire increase of the car on the ls7 yet we have no idea what else they did. what if the entire body is carbon fiber? or some other crazy crap was done to it. honestly if they through an ls7 in it and say yah 75k I agree with you and go yep its crazy. but till I have full specs I wont jump on that wagon.

took those numbers of the cars right off chevys web page go right to it and look. I guestimated inflation from 1992 to now on the 30k qout not bad for being off 2 grand.

But i was way off with a guess off by 3k...

ok sorry my bad but im not saying the order of prices on the camaro is 50/60/70/80 no blue color worker can afford them. I think thats a little further off then my numbers.

The 1LE is the new "blue collar" Camaro. But it's barely that. A fully optioned one can get around the $45k mark. Mine is a stripper. You could have 2 of my car with change left over for the price of a Z/28. If you think the Z/28 comes with $40k worth of better stuff you're crazy. The engine is roughly $6k more, wheels are negligible. The 1LE/ZL-1 have 20x10 and 20x11, the Z/28 comes with 19's. Probably cost GM the same to produce. The brakes are where the most is spent. The carbon ceramic stuff can add an easy $10k right there. It still doesn't add up to me. Word on the street is that they priced it at $75k because they know they will still sell all of them since production will be limited. They would still make money if the car was sold around the $55k mark. BTW a new 'Vette with the Z51 suspension would crush a Z/28.
