Good prices, good value. That auction seemed on the low side for a lot of amazing cars. I recorded it didn't see them across the line.

I saw the one that sold for $75K cross the line. I was very disappointed with the anouncers lack of enthuseism. He sounded like he was reading from a paper the details of the car. He added no comments of his own like he knew nothing about the car himself. Not surprising as it seems the Z/28's are being ignored and shunned buy car enthueists for some reason.

I usually watch the auction on mute. Those jamokes are usually playing grab-ass or yucking it up excessively. I don't mind the Z flying under the radar for a while. How 'bout we just keep it our little secret for as long as possible?

Me too!!! I cannot stand how the guy shuts the passenger doors after they get done filming the inside. I am surprised the window assemblies don't fall off.

Shut one of my doors like that and you will hear about it. On anything I own.

I feel like GM didn't do a great job of promoting this car baseline. I am a car guy , work in the car business, go to shows, eat breathe and sleep cars and really didn't even know they existed.. Many of my "car friends" didn't either until I bought mine.. Kinda funny

Considering all the press the Z got back in 2014 I would have thought most car guys knew about it. I counted no less than 5 automotive magazines where the Z made the front cover and a great write up. With the Z grabbing Motor trends drivers car of the year for 2014. Still there is only mild interest. WHY!

I was disappointed that they showed the Z at the tail end of the auction and rolled off the floor. Cannot believe the 07 GT500 Super Snake at 250k and bid goes on. Market is strong for Mustangs compared to Camaros.

It's good that car is relatively accessible to people still looking and not out of reach yet.

We know how special this car is and that's good enough. Love driving this thing!

Shark72 · 08-01-2022, 10:33 PM

I think we have to be patient and wait for the rest of the world to wake up and realize what the 5th gen Z28 is all about! Time will tell, until then we can enjoy what a special car it is.

SIM GhostrdrZ · 08-01-2022, 11:24 PM

Z28???
It has carbon ceramic rotors; oh yes, I got ceramic brake pads for my F150, they work ok.

Isn’t that the Camaro with the wide body kit? ; ugh, the wide body is a challenger which cannot stay with the Z28 around corner 1.

I can’t believe how few gt350(r)’s were produced: plus only 570 2020 HE produced:

Those new Z28’s are everywhere!!

I digress

Valid points , I guess the fact that "new performance" wasn't all that exciting I wasn't paying attention.. I was too busy putting LS motors from base model Camaros in C10s.. lol

highrevving · 08-02-2022, 11:18 AM

Wow, no wonder I see GT350s so often but only one Z ever that I can remember.

JRowe500 · 08-03-2022, 01:11 PM

I live in Tavares near Orlando and I have never seen a Z28 on the road and have been looking for them.

The only one I have seen is mine.

Hda · 08-03-2022, 02:49 PM

This feels like an AA meeting for Z28 owners lol

One more reason why I love mine is because so few people know about it.
