Well, I mean, it is probably going to be competitive with the GT500, so I wouldn't doubt the affordability of it...
But you never know these things until a brochure actually comes out :/
Let alone markup.

A $50K price tag isn't worth it IMO. It's the same old song and dance...buy a base model and dump $5K into a shorty and $10K in mods. You'll end up spending less and having 800hp.

But which car is going to have better "potential"... GT500 or the new Z28? No real way of knowing quite yet... but still, the question stands.
I mean... potential is one of the bigger argument points for even getting a GT500 in the first place, right? At least, that's what I gleaned from the bickering that flies around here anyway.

You guys are missing it.....
Corvette starts @ $48k, right now... so it won't be 50k... try mid to low $40's (in my opinion of course)
GM feels it can price it competitively -- and far enough away from Corvette.

I'm sure this will **** off a few members whose names I don't remember at this time...

There actually is no answer. It's a matter of opinion.
- The Z28 will have the advantage because of the cubic inches.
- Will the engine in the Z28 be reliable at 700rwhp with stock internals.
- They are both land yachts so throw the weight discussion out.
Is there mention of the Z28 having an automatic trans? I'm dying for a car with an automatic in it. I already have one stick shift car. That's enough for me.

Hopefully they aren't meaning keeping the top of the heap Camaro priced lower than the top of the heap Corvette. Cause you can get a lot of Camaro for under 103k.

I don't have the answer, but I do have a few thoughts on that subject.

and the rpm needs to stay real low. We'll see what the Z28 can do.
I'm not a LSA expert by any means.

At least, that's how it works in theory.
There's a guy on CadillacForums with a CTS-V that dynoed over 700rwhp on a stock bottom end. It's still running strong, though it's only been about two months if I recall.

What am I missing here? Why is everyone talking about swapping OUT the TVS 1900? Is there a thread I missed on Catastrophic failures? Most experiences I've had with the TVS are really good. ![Icon Confused](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_confused.gif)
I'm happy GM decided to go ahead with this too!
