2014 Z/28 tested! This is what we've all been waiting for. The car is pretty bad ***, a bit pricey but I'm sure it'll be a collectors item. Hope to see a few in person.

I think if they took the best of the Z/28, the best of the ZL1, and made a car with that, they'd have the perfect Camaro. Basically a 3,800lbs car with the ZL1 powertrain mated to the Z/28 suspension, tires, body mods, brakes, and track oriented specific upgrades. The non-HID headlight and missing fog lights kill it for me. lol
anyways...
I noticed something interesting: if you go onto Chevy's site and "build your own" Z/28 there is a LEASE option; ultra-low mileage 48 month lease at 40K miles. I find that really strange that there is a lease option for a supposedly limited run vehicle. I think with the A/C & radio options the lease payment would be $600 for 48 months.

I also meant ~3,800lbs car including ALL the amenities of a FULLY LOADED ZL1; dare I even say in 'VERT form? Imagine that: a FULLY loaded ZL1 with the ALL Z/28 specific "goodies" coming in at ~3,8000lbs. 
It'd be like Super Shredder.

Just how good is the Z/28? Motor Trend tested it against a 2014 GT-R track edition ($117k) and 911 Turbo S ($199K) at Barber Motorsport Park, a 2.2 mile track, and it beat both, but got slaughtered in the drag race, 12.3 to 11.0 (GT-R) and 10.9 (911). Nothing a heads/cam pkg wouldn't be able to overcome.

Congrats to GM surpassing both of its targets. Take a look at this cars parts list before commenting on price.
The 2000 Cobra R was 55k and ford lovers clamored over it. Factor in inflation and this car cost the same and it is beating the best cars on the road. The Cobra R did not accomplish that.

In person it looks every bit of a $75k car and the specs back that up. Just because you can't afford to buy one, doesn't mean it's not priced right. This isn't a 2002 Z28 and isn't meant that that same demographic.
