Several things to comment on:

Price- Yes lack of CCB will help keep cost down, but like another person said, it is offset by the whopping cost of this engine.

1LE: My god, if this thing can't destroy a 1LE than it is a massive fail. The Z/28 is an impressive machine and to even match it in a rear drive only car is quite an accomplishment. If you can't recognize that the Z/28 is an impressive car for performance it can provide, you are an idiot. What GM got out of that car amazed everyone, including me. I hate heavy cars, but that things delivers. If Ford can at least match it, than good job.

350R: This car will likely be the IMSA/Pirelli series legal competition car and will have a legal suspension and brake package and will only come as a part number like the Boss competition cars. The only carryover will be the body and engine from the street car.

What I am curious about is how well the engine will hold up. It is a clean sheet design and that presents issues that make me nervous about buying one. In competition form, the car will likely be choked down with restrictor plates and that could hurt it even more. Boss cars were blowing up left and right a few years back when they were given a very large restrictor, and many Ford teams parked in protest.

The GM response: It will be EPIC!

The level of performance a "regular Joe" can buy now from an American automaker is astounding! Way to go 'Murica!
