Your nuts if you think a LSA Z/28 is going to be 40-45k.

The engine alone is what 6k more than a LS3.
It will get better suspension. How much is a Pedders kit?
It will need a HD clutch, drive shaft, rear axle assembly
I would also guess the the CTS-V brakes will be used
And the cosmetic upgrades as well.

Just take a look at some of the vendors here and look at what these upgraded parts cost.

Or just ask how much a 2SS RS owner has invested in his car after adding a supercharger. $36k for a 2SS RS then what another 7K for just the supercharger thats already $43 and I will bet big money that those cars will not last for 100,000 miles without mechanical failures, the rest of the drive line is not up to the task of holding that power. So GM will have to upgrade a lot of components.

I really dont see a LSA Camaro for under $49,995 for a base car.

Now if they dont make the Z/28 with the LSA and just add a little more power over the SS but help the handling out, then yes I think $40,000 base is close.

Just my .02
