I've had two 5th Gen Camaros and loved both of them but , a Z28 for the same money,as a Z06?, nah, make mine a Z06 Corvette!
The source is what we already know about the car. It' supercharged instead of naturally aspirated. It's got a targa top instead of a hard top. It's significantly heavier than even the previous ZR1. It's available with an automatic transmission and convertible top.

The previous Z06s had none of those things.

The Z06 with comparable brakes and suspension will not be the same money as the Z/28.
