Considering base to mid model cars are destroying previous top dog models, I wouldn't be surprised if the new Z0whatever is in ZR1 territory.
Chevy is this a joke? Z/28 starting @ $75k

Considering base to mid model cars are destroying previous top dog models, I wouldn't be surprised if the new Z0whatever is in ZR1 territory.
The new hood they put on the camaro looks like shit. The old one look fine.
A loaded C6Z is already over $100k. It wouldn't be too far off for a C7Z to be $95k for a base model.. :shrug:
Wow
I have a buddy who has been dreaming about this car, I just told him what the options, horsepower are, etc. Safe to say he is sitting in a corner in his house crying because I just told him the price
I said a long time ago that the C7Z would have a starting price of 100k.....can't wait to see if I am wrong. So far I have been right about all GM's new cars whether it was about price or HP numbers .
Guarantee this car will be over 100-125k once it hits the dealers due to "MARKET ADJUSTMENT"
Bet me.
Bet me.
It will always stay that way too, look at the ford gt's even now...
More expensive then I would like as well... But when you look at the tech on this car, Carbon ceramic brakes, spool-valve dampers, 305's front and back, aero for 440+ pounds of down force at 150mph, light weight wheels super sticky tires ect... This is not cheap tech and add in development cost and this is what you have. A lot of cars that won't perform half as well cost more. Also Mark Stielow was the chief engineer on this project for old school camaro fans that speaks volumes in itself.

I freaking knew it! Before I got banned on Camaro5.fanboys I told them the car would be at least $75K and with dealer markup you are looking at $100K+. Most of them were predicting $45-$50K...freaking dreamers. Big Al said it would be the most expensive Camaro ever built--no freaking chit. I would rather own a stingray vette then this overpriced thing. Hell, give me a ZL1 and you can make it faster for cheaper, AND have all the creature comforts like a radio, A/C, etc...

With overpricing they just try to safe/ hold the resale value ....tactics...and for sure not worth the xtra money....

I'm not a fanboy of any brand...I've owned both, including 2 5th Gens. But you back Chevy AND JJ Watt....so....that explains a LOT. ;-)
oke:In all seriousness though, the Cobra R had no competition at the time. Nowadays, it's easy to go out and get something that will eat the Z/28 for a fraction of the price. Actually, it could easily be done with your SS. :thumbsup:
now you dun gone and stepped in it son....
I caught quite a few looks laughing out loud at that at work.
:beer:It's dumb because Chevy already has a performance car at that price point. When the 2000 Cobra R was released, there was nothing in Ford's portforlio to even compare it to in price, or performance.
Why would you pay so much for a "race car for the streets", when for the same money you can have a car that performs nearly as well, if not better, PLUS all the creature comforts?
Oh wait - it's the back seats, isn't it?
:beer: Exactly.
Yeah, you are. But we all know this. ;-)
All Corvettes are hugely overpriced new and suffer dramatic depreciation the first couple of years. No offense to any Corvette owners here, as I know quite a few guys that own them and are cool, but I think they would actually agree, seeing as to how I can get a slightly used (think around 5k miles or so) C6Z06 for right around $45k. Now, if that is a 2011+ model, I'd say it would run more like $60k+, BUT that's still a steep hit from the six figure original price.
Just IMO. I think Chevy is hoping the Z/28 will be the collector's item the Terminator is....but it won't happen. Again, when the Terminator came out it was the first of its kind to carry a full factory warranty. The Z/28 isn't the first of anything....it's not even the first overpriced Camaro.

With dealer mark-up if you wanted a stripped down drag car, you could get something that runs in the 9s and a much better car. I know, you can't drive it on the street...I am thinking most folks will by the Z28s and put them in garages anyways with the limited production numbers.

Another reason I'm stoked I switched to Ford. I used to be a hardcore GM guy but last go around with my GTO swore me off them forever. This only sweatens the deal. Oh and dealer markup puts it at 100K from what a guy on a waiting list said on another forum.
Hope GM burns to ground someday

2007 GT500 were selling for 100K with mark-up. Wonder how that is working out today?
500 is not a lot of models IMHO but still don't see it commanding big money in the next few years when someone decides to sell it..

WTF are you talking about? No wholesale BS...
The only "slightly used" C6 Z06 you're going to find for $45K is a 6-7 year old car with 50K+ miles. So they lost 30% of their original value in that 6-7 years. Most cars do far worse! And 6 figures? They were mid 60s!! :rollseyes
so bad it needs two threads
^^^ This pretty much sums up the thread right here.
I meant starting price. They only made 471 C6Zs in 2013 I believe. Not exactly hot selling cars.
