Food for thought.

When I was first car shopping, I was convinced to at least test drive the new Camaro. While I didn't like it, the salesman told me he could "make me a deal" -- so I stuck around and decided to listen.

Needless to say, he was talking 43 grand. I nearly shot out the door, propelled by laughter. I could've literally walked out with a Corvette and paid the same thing.

I doubt it is the same way now, but people -were- paying that when the Camaro first came out. Some people just love the car and believe it is amazing.

IMO, though, all of these performance fixes do nothing to fix the real problems with the car: weight, ergonomics (holy **** it is uncomfortable), and visibility that makes the Z feel like an air traffic control tower.
