I'm sure there will be, but nothing official. The twin turbo talk was all just rumors.

do you think this will be a $50-$60k car??

Irunelevens

That's what it is looking like.

GM would be making a HUGE mistake if they price the ZL1 much over $50k.

Maybe... I'd expect the auto to be over 50 for sure, and the manual to be around 50 even, like $49,995.00 w/o any options. Of course, even "optionless," the ZL1 will be just about loaded. It will become a problem for those who realize how close it is to the Corvette price. The good news is, they'll probably sell more Corvettes.

I agree, I could see them pricing the base model manual at just under $50k. I think there was even talk of setting it at $48k or $49k which would make it a very strong value for that car in my opinion.

It'llrun

If they're willing to price it around 48,5(M6).. There's a good idea. That way it's under 'vette pricing and still offering big power, kinda like back when the Camaro was new and high end models were still "lesser" than the 'vette.

I think high 40s is a great price tag. When I priced out a new 5.0 it was over 40k with alot of the cool options.

Irunelevens

That's cool, but it doesn't matter. The car it is directly competing with (the GT500) starts at $48,810 for '12.

It'llrun

Optioned, the ZL1 can and will be over 50k. That's not the concern at all, rather the starting price needs to remain under Corvette and within the range of most potential buyers... Most will say they want to see it close to GT500 pricing, but the GT or SS won't be a concern to anyone seriously considering the ZL1. Anyone who's close on the ZL1 can surely get an SS instead, but who would wanna???

What kind of options will be available in a track ready boosted Camaro though? Anything thats needed to go faster or things that will make it heavier?

It'llrun

Hmmm... a roll cage... Whatever it is, heavier is the answer.

Forget MSRP. Dealer markup on this vehicle will be ridiculous. I say good luck finding one for under $60k.

^Great point. Werent 5th Gens marked up pretty bad when they first came out?

MI-Z/28

I think so, and they probably still are considering how it has become a flavor of the month kind of vehicle. The best thing everyone can do is not buy them. Let the dealers know their prices are outrageous and that consumers will not tolerate them.

It'llrun

Prices will probably be high initially, but that won't likely last long. Then again, sales will dictate the number built, so many will gladly overpay, hoping to have one of just a few in the end.

I like how people bitched about the 4th gens feeling cheap and being "parts bins" cars and cramped working space, now with the 5th gens they put nice interior in a bigger car with a bigger price tag...what do ya know? People bitch about it. Weird...

I just find it funny how you can get a car that performs at the same level of acceleration as a supercar for $50-60k and people are upset about it.

Irunelevens

Who is upset about the GT500?
