Does anyone actually know what the Z28 is? What it comes with?
It's a stripped down, no A/C, no leather, no heated seats, 2 speaker, no nav, no frills, very low production, track car... It in no way whatsoever competes or is compatible to a Corvette, the only similarity is it has a LS7.
The price of a Camaro doesn't mean jack to what a true GT or Super car will sell for, a car that his heated and cooled seats and A/C.

Don't care what auto blog says.... Car and Driver, being a long standing name in reliable automotive news speaks to the contrary.

At that price (which I expect as well) they should sell and sell and sell. Let's just hope that the general doesn't get out over their skis this time like they did in 07 and bump the price $5000 because of huge first year demand. Stay the course and maintain strong sales throughout the C7 life cycle.

Man I'm a little tired of people saying that...
Does anyone actually know what the Z28 is? What it comes with?
It's a stripped down, no A/C, no leather, no heated seats, 2 speaker, no nav, no frills, very low production, track car... It in no way whatsoever competes or is compatible to a Corvette, the only similarity is it has a LS7.

The Camaro ZL1 is a better comparison to the new Z06 IMO.

C&D specifically quoted Tadge too. One of them has to be wrong, and with other quotes from the show that a fully optioned Z06 would come in at under $100k, I tend to believe the C&D quote.

If it starts at $85K there is no way a fully loaded Z will be under $100K. No way. Add 3LZ, Z07, competiton seats, alcantara headliner, different brake caliper color, carbon exposed roof, wheel finish........Thats a $110K car.

At the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, Tadge was quoted as saying the C7 would be available in a right hand drive version, to the British press. Of course, the Australian press picked that up and reported it. The very next day, the number 2 guy at GM, had to make an announcement that the C7 was not planned to be available in a right hand drive version.
So much for "quotes".

Wouldn't be surprised if the comp seats are standard and if you'd note what was listed in the Z07 package I think you may see it as something like the Z51 package therein it only adds wing and brakes, also perhaps springs or something else (aside from the tires of course). Which would be a well priced package and thus not effect the price by as much as some May think from previous years.
Starting sub $80,000 I think given the Z07 and 1LZ, 2LZ, 3LZ spread I expect the car to grow like the base car did with as you may have caught onto by now is they way they are planning to present and sell the Corvette for the 7th generation. As the spread on the base car is about $20,000 between the base 1LT without Z51 and 3LT with Z51.
