I don't think so. It's an existing chassis, a pushrod engine, screw blower, etc. Unless they do something really trick to it, it's not going to cost a lot to build compared to Mustangs or Camaros.

My lotto number is $59,995.

PS - The Z/28 is not limited per se, it is 1.5 years. They will build as many as there are dealer orders. GM might be gaming the dealers though. Only 1/2 the 2014's have made it to dealers, even though production stopped 6/13.

There are 200+ of them sitting in a field in Canada. And that's just the 2014's. They have been building 2015's for 3 weeks now.

This creates a false demand. If there are 2000 buyers right now, they are fighting over the 200 available units. If there were 1000 available units (possible), dealers wouldn't order as many 2015's.

But it might bite them in the ass. Knowing that my car was built in mid 2014, but delivered with the 2015's, makes me want a 2015 instead. I don't imagine I'm the only one who would rather have a 1 year newer VIN at the same price. Plus, there are often little bugs that are hammered out over the first year of production.
