BTW, GMs pricing is going all over the place. Pricing this near the Z/28 price makes people think twice about what kind of car they want. If someone chooses a Z/28 over this.....they are retarded. Unless they are just buying it to collect dust so it'll gain value then thats cool.

There exists a split inside of the bow tie die hard's. The camaro vs corvette rivalry can be just as intense as the camaro vs mustang or corvette vs all other exotics. It's just the way it is. Camaro die hard's will always buy a camaro. My dad is one of them, he still has his 67 camaro SS albeit it is a fully blown track car, but he would never be seen in a corvette. Just the way it is. He respects them but that just makes him push the camaro even harder. Last track day we did he got into a little race with a zr-1 on the straight away and when we talk after his exact words, "that corvette has f*cking nothing, didn't pull an inch but it looks damn good!".
Point being, the camaro guys will buy the z/28 and the corvette guys will buy the z06 no matter how closely they are priced. The z/28 has limited production numbers because chevrolet is fully aware that there is a only a select few who will buy it over the z06. They will dump money into engine work to make a high revving 600 rwhp naturally aspirated track monster because thats all the z/28 really needs, more power. It's just the way they are.
