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.

Makes sense... I won't refute that although I do see debates on both sides.
IMO, the Z/28 isn't a failure in terms of performance... but in terms of sales and features/amenities for its pricepoint, then it falls behind.
I just think it was just overpriced from the getgo. It's clearly a one-hit wonder.... albeit an expensive one.

I'd imagine the second "R" on the last one is merely a typo.
