Pretty insane, but then again I'm betting the price will be as well. I really hate the huge range in power these newer American sports cars have. I mean, it's been this way for a while, but it seems like it is getting even worse. They might as well make a 4-cylinder Camaro and a 6-cylinder 'Vette while they are at it.

The body is already a beast...
The GT500 was closed to $75K a few years back with the market value added to it.

yeah but MSRP was mid to high 40's right? things have changed in the last few years.. i know there will always be mark ups on the first of any hot car but the market isnt the same as it was i think one of these could be had for MSRP cash in hand.. hell chey is giving 3K and 5K factory rebates on ZR1's now

"I know this has been discussed over and over again but all the ignorance recently has forced me to bring up again why the Camaro Z28 has throughout the F-bodies reign has been the top Camaro…
The Z28 was produced for 31 years to the SS’s 13 (Z28 3 more years if you count the IROC-Z’s) The 1st gen Z28 was the race car version of the Camaro, The SS was the fully loaded street cruiser……The Z28 would out handle and out run an SS….. Where was the SS from 1973 to 1995?...man how many years is it not produced and the Z28 was still running around While Chevy claimed there to be a huge difference in performance during the 4th gen the SS was merely a body refreshment. If anything this was the time in the Camaros history where things went backwards….But 7 years of confusion vs over 20 years of the Z28 being the top model is hardly something for Chevrolet to continue to the 5th gen. I’d agree that for some the SS may be the cooler car. It most always (especially in the 4th gen) came fully loaded with a high HP motor. However the Z28 was always the straight race car. For the guys here who want the stripped down, no goodies all performance, Z28 was your car. They don’t call the top PERFORMING Corvette the Corvette SS….that’s blasphemy…Its been the Z car….the ZR1 or Z06 Furthermore the SS name has been slapped on everything from FWD cars to 6 cylinder Impalas… This has to be said….GM knows this….I’m sick of people (newbies) getting their panties in a wad every time they see the Z28 posted above the SS. I’m not trying to hate on the SS nameplate or anyone’s car. I personally plan on buying a MIDLEVEL SS because I want more comfort items and a convertible vs a hardcore race car. I don’t really want a 500hp car, nor do I want to pay today high premium for one these days. Any Chevrolet can be an SS... Only a Camaro can be a Z/28!" http://www.camaroz28.com/forums/showthread.php?t=423304 |

If GM can offer a supercharged Camaro in the same lineup with the Corvette and ZR1, I don't see why Nissan can't offer a turbocharged version of the Z along with the flagship GTR.
The Z is BAAADLLYYY losing the hp wars these days. |
