A $62K base price isn't terrible considering how stout this car is...

Very nice! I wonder how it compares to the C7 Z06 in quarater mile and 0-60. I'm guessing they are very close

That and the 127 trap speed is my big take-away from this one.

The Gen 5s trapped mid teens.

We now know how much the 2017 Camaro ZL1 and 1LE package will cost. Let the outrageous markups begin!

I got the opportunity to sit in one last weekend and they're worth every penny. The crazy amount of things you can do and adjust in the car to track preferences or your preferences is ridiculous. I have several good friends who work at GM, very very high up who deal with this car and the when the track numbers are released you will all be blown away. On top of it, pictures don't do this car justice. It's gorgeous in person.

That is a killer prize tag in comparison to the c7z and the performance numbers. I think Chevy did it right this time.

around a $16k difference between both cars sticker price. All for damn near the same performance. It's really impressive nonetheless. I'm just excited to see the track numbers released.

11.40's at 127 on the factory tires on an unprepped track. A good set of drag radials on a prepped track would almost have to be high 10's. and it has airconditioning and a warranty!! If someone would have told me this 10 years ago I would have laughed at them

Absolutely... secured the #1 allocation at a large Houston dealership before it was announced. Now the wait continues, but damn happy with that price. Only 5k over my last one with waaaay more capability. That line lock and data recorder will be super nice too.

There are plenty of Chevy dealers that will sell at MSRP. Only thing I'm worried about is constraints on the 10 speed in the beginning.

Will definitely be a target for a while. DR's will go on very soon after purchase.

And the Z/28 will follow it up for 2018.

I don't think you'll have to worry about any constraints on that 10 speed coming from the Chief engineer himself...

It's listed as "interim availability" right now. I'll be having beers with Al O later next week and that will be my 1st question. I really don't want to see any delays like last time around.

mlee,
Please keep me posted about the availability of the 10 speed, I too am in the market for a new ZL1 (with 10 Speed only). I have heard that the 10 speed won't be available until early next year.

2006 Z06 could hit these numbers on street tires and touch a 10 1/4 mile on dr's stock. But those numbers in 4 (albeit very small rear seats) seat car is amazing. I will have to see how the values hold and maybe I will save an extra year or two and get this over a 1le 6th gen.

Saw a new ZL1 up close and personal yesterday. Absolutely stunning. Gotta start saving up my nickels and dimes.
