100% at least it is an impressive car nonetheless to Chevy.

Random thoughts:

I love my E90 M3, but would trade it for this beast in a heartbeat if the primary usage would be track days. BMW's more sophisticated power delivery? LOL!

I might even consider one over a Z06, b/c some of us w/ kids like to share the fun of a great car w/ the family. That's one of the main reasons I drive my M3 so much more than my S2000.

That said, it's going to be awfully expensive to buy and feed (consumables) as a track toy. Way beyond what I'd be willing to spend.

Chevy finally announced the price - $75K w/ no A/C or stereo. As much as I'd like rear seats, it makes the C7 Z51 seem like a great value by comparison. What do y'all think?

C7 for me all day even if it's slower. Plus the 2015 C7s now get the Performance Data Recorder

Fooking absurd even at $50k. $75k is a cynical excercise in removing cash from the wallets of idiots who somehow came into possession of a few dollars. You'd have to either be a fool or just so rich that $75k is nothing to you for this car to make sense. The A/C and stereo delete can't save more than 100 lb if that, practically nothing in the face of nearly 4000 lb. If I were rich and at all into absurdly oversized neo-musclecars, a 1LE with hotcam, an accusump, suspension, and wheels/tires would be the route I'd take. I'd be far too embarrassed to announce to the world what an idiot I was to spend $75k on this absurdity.

Seems like a nice package but 75 grand is pretty crazy for a Camaro (I don't care what flavor). I'd just take a ZR1 and spend the rest on mods.

I would argue the same can be applied to so many limited edition cars. I certainly can't see any reason to get this VS a Corvette... or used 911... or new Cayman... or used Cobalt SS but really who are we to say people are wrong for wanting this car instead. I don't think GM will sell many but so long as they sell enough to cover the costs I don't see a problem with it. I wounder what people said about the 1969 ZL1 Corvette. The ZL1 option almost doubled the cost of the car and, like the Z28, probably didn't go that much faster than the other big engine option. Back then you were probably stupid to buy a ZL1 car. If you have one today you are a millionaire. I'm not going to claim this new car will rise in value like that. However, I see no issue with this so long as the production volumes are commensurate with the high asking price.

E92 M3 is about 3500-3600 lbs. 3,800 is fatty range approaching GT-R territory.

You sure about that? I thought the E92 was well into 2700-2800lb range.

<------Knows he can google it but would rather debate based on memory. LOL

Again, whomever designed the rear end needs shot.. . the tail lights are now from the 70's?? and the hideous amount of black back there is even more offensive than it is on the C7. With all the good looking taillights on other cars out there, you'd think they'd be able to nail this one down.. . So odd how they go away from the previous style lights on the Z/28 but yet implement them on the C7 stingray? Communication breakdown maybe??

GM has again created a looker from the front, and cottage cheese ass from the back.

E90/92 M3 is definitely 3500-3700 lbs.
