Deep pockets. the Z is now the top dog and is priced as such. don't get lost on the model designations. Compare apples to apples. Giving the new Z28 it's own engine and not the CTSV engine would just raise the $$ even more!
You guys really seem to be talking about a stripper model/club racer type of car. This Z28 ain't that - it's a shelby/ktr/wtf mustang beater. Do they need one? Maybe. Buy a zero option 1SS and strip it yourself, problem solved!
I'd like to see a V6 car be able to get the underpinnings/brakes on the SS. That might be fun!
