2014 gets an update front and rear. Smaller upper grill, much larger lower grill. It's a bottom breather like the C7. This helps with the aero, and the vents in the hood release the pressure to keep the nose down.
60k-70k. Z06 will move up to 80ish. Z/28 is the top level car.
People are buying 65k ZL1s. A C7 Z51 will top out right along side this.
YOU wouldn't buy it, but YOU wouldn't buy any car.
Hood design is based off the ZL1's aero studies. It's functional. I wish it was larger. It looks too small for such a large hood.
ZL1 is a Grand Touring car, complete with adaptive suspension, lots of nice standard features, etc etc. Z/28 is a dedicated track car.
Could GM have just done a lighter SS? Sure. Could they have just done a slightly tuned up 1LE? Yeah.
This is the car that everyone said that GM would never make. A stripped down, light weight, big cube, manual trans only, optional AC. no fancy radio stuff, manual race seats, with carbon ceramic brakes, spec-suspension and race tires.
It's six seconds faster around GM's Milford Proving Grounds than the Mustang GT500.

Wait, so they make a not so fat ass 5th gen that is more gutted than a LS1 race car and, then charge more for it?
I applaud GM for the F you attitude, but, really?
