- Am I risking getting my quasi-bluff called, or are GM's more concerned about moving cars than calling bluffs?
- Is it worth pushing this dealer harder for better prices, when if I buy from them, I'll be seeing them every couple weeks for car washes and/or every 3 months for oil changes?

- Yes.
- What the tax in your area? In SoCal, I add 10% to the price to handle TT&L and give me a ballpark (esp. since dealers prefer to focus on the floor price and not OTD). If sales tax's around 8.75% like where I live, then $33,5 sounds perfectly reasonable.
- How willing/far do you want to drive?
- In light of the large discount between MSRP and what buyers are walking out the door with, I'd guess GM's would be more concerned to be moving units off lots.
- Always worth to negotiate, but at that price level, you're in the realm of diminishing returns. A couple of Benjamins to me ain't worth spending additional hours at the dealership.
I'm a sucker for leather, so the Touring was an entering argument for me. The trim also adds power, heat, and lumbar supports. After sitting in both base and touring Z's, I also noticed alum pedals on my bare feet (though you can replace the base rubber ones later) and the leather door inserts just give the touring trims a better "feel" in the car. Doesn't matter in the end, I killed the touring/sport debate and bought the 40th.
The sport package IS the better deal, and after driving a Z w/it, definitely agree it adds to the driving experience.
If you can sit in a base model after sitting in a touring, and NOT have obsessive/compulsive thoughts enter your head (as they do mine), I'd recommend the sport package, if you have to choose only one.
