Some of you guys are worse than the Audi or BMW dicks that hate on the Z. DRive a car yourself before you hate on it. Then again most dealers are not going to let the main demographic of the Z test drive a Z28 or Z06. I have a CTS-V, I can't fit in a C7..but I fit in the Z28. Would they let me test drive one? Who knows.
Yep absolutely! You totally missed my point but thank you for this well thought and informative post. This article isn't about cost its about performance and what they had available. If it was about cost they wouldnt be using a turbo S let alone a GT3. If you want to compare performance then do so regardless of price.

Do you seriously think someone who owns a $200k Porsche would bat an eye at a $75k Camaro? Even if it out performs it? This cost argument is only applicable if you're looking at raw performance and nothing else. Very few people do that. Yeah its the same arguement BMW owners have said towards the Z and so on and so forth. That's the beauty of opinions and freedom to buy what we want
