In reading your posts from other threads, it's obvious how you feel about the Z/28 based off your opinion of the car which is based off of what you've read, so it's no reason to discuss that here.

Sales of the car speak for itself, which is due to price, not it's performance based off what it was designed to do.

Can you answer MEDISIN's question above? I add, show me a current car in production that's better off the shelf (stock production) track car in a 2+2 for less.

The GT350 will possibly be a great if not a little better contender but it's not in production yet and hasn't been thoroughly tested by pro's like the Z/28. So, that car shouldn't be included in your answer. May I also add that a GT350R w/electronics package is over 66.5K MSRP which is very close to what Z/28's are selling for because many Z's have discounts.

As a matter of reference only: in several cases where many of us purchased during the 20% year end event, we were able to purchase Z/28's at or near the cost of an optioned out GT350 w/o the R package. Again, the 20% event was for all of Chevy's oldest inventory, not just Camaro's or specifically, Z/28.

So with all the Z/28 inventory sitting on the dealer lots not moving you still consider the Z/28 a win for Chevy. If this car is so great why are they not selling? You would have thought that the supposed target buyers like GTR, Porsche, BMW, etc, owners would be selling their cars to buy this 75k bargain Z/28? Problem is they did not, while they may have been impressed with the track numbers they didn't feel the car was worth 75k, because after all it was still a Camaro. The Camaro loyalist couldn't afford the price tag.

Chevy made a mistake with the Z/28 going all out track only focus. They would have been much better served to have offered something similar to this GT350, a car within the financial reach that you could option up depending on your budget. Instead they wanted the editor headlines, which while entertaining to read very few would lay down the dollars to buy.

To answer the question, no I can't think of another domestic car other than the Viper, and Vette that can compete with the Z/28 on the track.
