I think a lot of folks are missing the point. This car is a lot more than a 1LE + LS7. If you find yourself making these types do rationalizations then this is not the car for you.

Im glad I didnt put my ZL1 up for sale to put down a deposit on one.....
$75,000 is just to much for this car, the ZL1 can be transformed into a track car to resemble the z28 for a smaller fee. sad about the price, but at least its a great looking car |

You are missing the point.... Some people want a CAMARO that will run with exotics.

Lol yup, my thoughts exactly...they get to show off what they "can" do, but can't afford to sell it to the masses..they know that the Z/28 is the most recognizable Camaro of all time but the price and the people saying its "worth it" are insane. It's not the content or the decontent that makes the price is what people will pay for it. I'm not mad a GM for showing off their abilities, I am mad that the GOV'T has made it to where American muscle is priced as European exotics.

I think too many are hung up on the name more than the car.
What if the 5th gen SS had been named the Z28 and this car had been named the SS? Would anyone have cared?

No you may be missing the point. We don't want to pay for the improved handling and development that went into the Z. We just want the motor in place of the LS3 available from the factory in a 1LE package. As consumers we are trying to tell the manufacture what we want and hopeful they will offer it, seem rational to me. The problem is than the Z28 and ZL1 owners may not be too happy.

Recaro seats standard, optional on ZL1 Unique forged wheels and tires High performance DSSV dampers, not an option on ZL1 I think those alone would cover the cost difference between the Z/28 and the ZL1. Some of these posts crack me up. People saying they wouldn't pay this much for a Camaro probably couldn't afford a car this expensive anyways. I can't afford it and think $75,000 is a reasonable price for the car but then again, when I think of performance cars, 24 way adjustable seats that heat and massage my ass don't even cross my mind. Car performance is what matters most to me. |

DUDE, what are you paying for and whatcha gettin? Heck, take an old Datsun 510, install a three quater race cam and a couple spoilers up front and lower it and BOOOOOMMMMM, you have a new GTR. So a couple big tires and a internet ordered LS and I've got the same as the Z28 for only $29.95 and it's just as fast, Blah, blah, blah....
Come on, you need to retread the specs and look at the fact it's 4 seconds faster than the ZL1 and it was on a wet track. This thing is a track monster and will run with cars in the half million dollar range. I am willing to bet there will be a waiting list to get one regardless of the asking price. Just because everyone can't afford one doesn't mean others will not buy it. I can sum it up best by a sign we use to have in the speed shop I use to work at, and it goes like this; Speed cost money, how fast can you afford to go?

Great than its settled, GM is going to offer a 2015 SS 1LE with an increase of 80hp (about 510hp or so) for $50K and a factory warranty. I'm happy now, thank you!!.
