I'm just wondering how many people will actually pay the asking price + dealer markup for one. I don't know how many GM expects to sell, but I know it will be a limited production run.
At the end of the day, it's still a $75k+ Camaro when you could have a Corvette for almost the same money that will out perform it all day long. Unless you see it from the nostalgia point of view.

You're thinking like a single guy in regards to nothing but performance. Some people need more than a two seater and still want performance. Before buying my V, I was shopping for a Z06 but I just couldn't bring myself to purchase another car that my whole family could not fit into and most likely would not use a lot which is why my 5.0 has sat so much.
In short, I don't think anyone shopping for a Camaro would be seriously considering a Corvette.

LOL What? Come on, Steve. That argument doesn't make any sense here. I'm talking about shopping for the Z/28 versus a Corvette for the same price. Corvette will be much better performance for your money. Neither come with a back seat. The Z/28 is built strictly for performance. So why would you try and make an argument that try to not include performance?

Doh, brainfart on my part. Forgot the Z/28 doesn't have a backseat. My mistake. lol
What puzzles me, is that they supposedly stripped this car down to the bare bones, but yet the car is still 3900lbs?!

LOL. It's okay. We can excuse the age.
This car was optioned with the additional stereo and AC, so it's not truly barebones. I think in complete "barebones" form, at least with the minimal amount of crap GM puts in it from the factory, it weighs around 3800 lbs...still fat.
