The ZL1 starts at ~$57,000, the Z28 should be $5,000 less than that WTF is wrong with these idiots

I don't know what the production numbers are going to be on the Z/28 versus the ZL1, but perhaps the limited edition "cool factor" is coming into play?
Perhaps a silly question, but how would this car do on a road course compared to a C7?
Realistically, I can't see a normal person purchasing these new--and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm sure we'll see very, very few of these on the street, and more so in collections or HPDE days for the big-wigs. Status and image. That's what I chalk this up to--and I approve of that.
I think GM is doing image remodeling, and offering up some exclusivity helps that. No longer the mullet-mobile of your trailer park, but a piece of a rich guy's stable that he takes pride in, and the average guy recognizes as rich in both value and legacy. Those people aren't going to mind an extra 5-10k
on the price tag. They just want to own something rare and awesome.
The used market will, of course, be different.
