z28

I don't think it makes it irrelevant. I think they now have a set up like Ford does with the Mustang.

SS->GT
Z/28-> Boss
ZL1->GT500

Does the Boss whoop the GT500 on the track?

My guess is that it will cost every bit as much as a ZL1 and that will be the only thing keeping me in the Vette.

+1. Recaros, ceramic discs, diff and trans coolers, and everything beefed up to handle the HP. I'm guessing Z28 base is more than the ZL1 base mostly due to the 3x cost brake rotors and Recaros.

I really like the car -- minus that fugly rear end and Jegs looking heat extractor on the hood.

It really needed its own unique hood. That move was a fail. But who knows by the time they release the car things can change. Pete, here's your chance.

I agree with Ladiesman about the rankings. Z28 firmly establishes itself as true competition for the Boss (despite cost). As Ford argued the 1LE is not a purpose built car, so it was not a comparison to the Boss. Clearly we have a winner here. But price will give the Ford guys something to use as an argument as to why the Boss isn't the boss anymore.

I'd put money on it that the Z28 costs more than the ZL1.

well it looks like we might be off a little... well most of us that is... Car and driver states they have an inside with GM that states it will be the most expensive camaro in the line up :-/

It makes sense, look what they put into it. That shit isn't cheap to do.

Some interesting comments over on the Mustang forums:

Some odd-balls in that thread for sure.

Looking at the photos, does it look like there are extensions around the wheel wells?

No but the Boss is more of their track car for the Mustang line. The boss is very comparable to a Z/28 in the options and just what they offer. Its also a horsepower step ladder in the line GT has 420 similar to the SS. The boss has around 450 to the Z/28's 500. And finally the ZL1 has 580 to the Shelby's 660hp.

Yes, looks like there are extensions of the GFX around the wheel wells.

[Blackhawk]

It has flared fenders. The LS7 engine is really expensive. Probably going to cost $63K plus.

[TonyNo]

The brakes, rotors, and seats are expensive, too.

I hope they don't ask more than a ZL1 for that. If they do I don't see why it woul be worth it. ZL's got a lot more toys and still more power.

It's not all about the raw power numbers. So much more technology in this car.... and less weight.


I don't mind the tail lights... certainly taking cues from the late second gen cars.
