While I'm surprised the car will be more money than the ZL1, I assume they are simply trying to make back their development costs. They likely needed to do further crash, emissions and other testing on top of the costs of parts especially those fancy brakes.

I can appreciate the performance bump over the ZL1 but personally I value more features versus a stripped down street legal track car. If I was a track nut, then this would be the car for me. The ZL1 will have the power/amenities but the track nut will simply value the Z/28 performance cred more.

I like the Z/28 a lot and while it's not the car for me, I can respect it's intent.
