When you sell 50-100k units of a muscle car a year, and have trims in several segments (V6, V8, GT500...), you do end up with more revisions and releases, strategically staggered. The Z shouldn't get updated *that* often for a car that sells closer to 10k a year.
When it came out, it did have the killer feature everyone talked about
: SynchroRev. Just keep in mind that was 4 years ago, and how many new cars copy it now?
It's strange talking up the Z on a Z forum.
If I wanted another car, I'd have gotten another car. Considering the cost, I don't think anyone has "settled" for a Z or had no other options.
