Its ashame that the average guy can't afford the sticker price on the upcoming Z28, GT500, Boss, etc. That leaves the base V8 models for the rest of the average working class guy, in which the 5.0 Mustang is ahead of the pack. Any manufacturer can stuff a monster supercharged beast into a car and charge an extra $20-25k, but the average guy isn't buying it and can't afford it. To me, that puts a car like the Z06, ZR1, CTS-V, upcoming Z28, GT500, etc in the Supercar class.

I'm glad to hear that Chevy is bringing back the Z28, but I don't agree with how they are doing it. They should call the new Camaro with the supercharged 6.2 a ZL1. Chevy should then make a lightened, bare-bones handler with a normally aspirated V8 engine with say at least 450 hp, with no frills and unwanted options (leave out the leather interior, nav, bluetooth systems etc., sound insulation, even stereo and air conditioning), barely street legal (like the first gen Z/28's) for under $30,000, and call that a Z28.

One of the obstacles for these special configuration cars is the Federal Test Proceedure regarding vehicle Emissions. Manufacturer/s have to submit a car for this testing, which is quite an investment. Somthing now around back in 69 when ol' Don was ordering his 427 cars.

The cost of the FTP for is then added to each specailty car. SInce they are going to be limited in sales, the adder is more significant. This can apply to just about everything else required to produce the car.

Shadetree conversions will be cheaper and remove liability.

I wish there was a configuration which would lend itslef to add ons. If they offered a low compression LS motor with a good set of rods and pistons but at a reasonable price they may have a makings of a hero. Basically looking for a package that could be a COPO where the local dealer could add their desired forced induction on a non SS car. It would save on insurance and the initial purchase price if a guy didn't want to do a dealer FI unit!
