The GMMG Registry Forum

After reviewing the very limited 'Offical' GM info about this car I'am in the market for one but have some questions that go unanswered. Even Steve Gelnett at Dale Earnhardt Chevy in Newton NC has little knowledge of them and only tells me what he learned in a recent 'Corvette School' training session. I DO know the following:



1. Production is expected to begin late Spring/early Summer of 2014.

2. Price will be North of the ZL1 which stickers for $$ 56,500.

3. Plans are to build only 1500 cars.

4. Any 2014 Camaro will be available.



So my questions are:



1. Will there be a Huge mark-up over sticker price?

2. Will deep pockets guys like Rick Hendrick buy 20 at a time?

3. Will GM allocate one car per Chevy dealer?



Any and all info is appreciated Gents.

You will need deep pockets to afford one. I bought a Daytona Yellow 1978 Z28 brand new. It was fully loaded and has a sticker price of $8,800 but was still afordable to a technican like me. Now you need to bring home some big money to afford what once was a affordable Chevrolet. You know dealers will mark the price of these cars up due to demand. Maybe Hendrick will buy a few or Gas Monkey Garage will buy many of them like they did with the COPOs.

Right you are Ragtop, GM announced it yesterday. And that's the suggested retail of the Base Model - without A/C and a one speaker Juke Box. Other things I've learned:



1. Only colors are Black, Red Hot, Silver Ice Metallic, Ashen Gray Metallic and Summit White.



2. The LS7 motor will be hand assembled (factory blue-printed) at the GM Bowling Green, KY facility.



3. The street legal slicks are only rated for 6,000 miles - (can you say 'sticky'?).



4. No power seats - manual only.



5. The dry sump oil system will hold 10.5 quarts of synthetic oil.



6. The rights to buy the first one (Vin 00001) will be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson.



Now all I gotta do is come up with a HUGE Roll of Dead American Presidents! :angry-tappingfoot:



Any Suggestions Gents?

Good morning Camaro Comrades and Firebird Friends! We wanted you to be the first to know!



2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Priced at $75,000

DETROIT – Chevrolet today announced the 2014 Camaro Z/28 will go on sale this

spring with a suggested retail price of $75,000, including a $995 destination

charge, but excluding tax, title, license and dealer fees.



The new Z/28 is offered in five exterior colors – Red Hot, Black, Silver Ice Metallic,

Ashen Gray Metallic and Summit White. Only a single option is available: A $1,150

package that adds air conditioning and four audio speakers. The standard Z/28

package includes one speaker.



“The Camaro Z/28 is an uncompromising performer that’s bred for the track – and

every one of its unique components supports the goal of faster lap times,” said

Mark Reuss, president, General Motors North America. “It takes the Z/28 back to its

racing roots and adds to the strong lineup of Chevrolet performance cars, including

a revamped Camaro SS and supercharged ZL1, as well as the SS sedan, Corvette

Stingray convertible and 2015 Corvette Z06, which we’ll introduce at the North

American International Auto Show next week."



The Z/28’s unique exterior is designed like a race car to produce downforce that

presses the tires against the track for greater grip – up to 1.08 g in cornering

acceleration – and faster lap times. The aerodynamically optimized design helped

the Camaro Z/28 log a lap on Germany’s legendary Nürburgring road course that

was four seconds faster than the Camaro ZL1’s and beat published times for the

Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.



Power comes from the 7.0L LS7 engine, with dry-sump oiling, rated at an SAEcertified

505 horsepower (376 kW) and 481 lb-ft of torque (652 Nm). The engine is

built by hand at the new Performance Build Center within GM’s Bowling Green

assembly plant.



A close-ratio six-speed manual transmission is the only transmission offered and

power is distributed to the rear wheels via a Torsen limited-slip differential featuring

a helical gear set, rather than traditional clutch packs, for optimal traction. The

differential works in unison with Chevrolet’s proprietary Performance Traction

Management system, allowing drivers to adjust the level of throttle and braking

intervention to match their capability and driving environment.



The Camaro Z/28 is also one of the first production cars fitted with race-proven,

spool-valve dampers, which allow four-way damping control, enabling engineers to

precisely tune both bump and rebound settings for high-speed and low-speed wheel

motions. The wider tuning range also allows dramatically greater damper stiffness

without a significant change in ride quality. Additional chassis changes include

stiffer spring and bushing rates for improved cornering response.

Lightweight, 19-inch forged aluminum wheels and Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires reduce

unsprung weight by 49.6 pounds (22.5 kilograms) per car compared to the 20-inch

wheels standard on Camaro SS and ZL1.



The massive 305/30ZR19 PZero Trofeo R tires represent the first production-car

application in the industry and are believed to be the widest front tire on any

production car. To fully exploit their grip, the Z/28 also features Brembo Carbon

Ceramic Matrix™ rotors and fixed, monoblock calipers. The large 394 x 36 mm front

rotors are paired with six-piston calipers, while the 390 x 32 mm rear rotors are

paired four-piston calipers. Compared to similar-size, two-piece steel rotors, the

lightweight carbon discs save 28 pounds (12.5 kg) per car.



The combination of tire grip and braking power enable the Camaro Z/28 to achieve

at least 1.5 g in deceleration. With standard front brake cooling ducts, the Z/28 is

also capable of continuous track use.





Interior details



On the interior, the Camaro Z/28 features trim in a distinctive, matte-metallic finish

called Octane, a flat-bottom steering wheel and Recaro seats with microfiber

inserts. The seats feature aggressive bolsters for high-performance driving, as well

as seat cutouts inspired by the five-point harnesses found on racing seats. To save

weight, both front seats incorporate manual adjustment.



The rear seats of the Z/28 have also been modified for weight reduction. Nine

pounds, or four kilograms, were saved by eliminating the seat-back pass-through,

as well as using high-density foam in place of the rigid structure of the seat back

and steel mesh of the seat bottom.



Additional examples of weight savings include:



Elimination of the tire-inflator kit, except for Rhode Island and New

Hampshire, where it is required by law



Removal of some interior sound deadener, as well as trunk carpet



Use of a smaller, lighter battery



Thinner rear-window glass – 3.2 mm vs. the standard 3.5 mm



Elimination of high-intensity discharge, or HID, headlamps and fog lights



No air conditioning except as part of the single option package.



The Camaro Z/28 will be available to order in late January with the first cars

delivered to customers in the spring.



Rights to the first Camaro Z/28, VIN 0001, will

be auctioned at Barrett Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Ariz. on January 18.



The Z/28’s suggested retail price includes destination and freight charges, as well

as the gas-guzzler tax.

**********************************Good News & Bad News*******************************************************************



The Good:



1. Steve Gelnett, the new car sales manager at Dale Earnhardt Chevy assured me he will NOT inflate the price over MSRP........ . So its $75,000 plus tax, title, gas guzzler tax, etc. Mr Earnhardt never wanted to gouge the public... :naughty:



2. I don't really want another black car and really like the Silver Ice Metallic. So I asked Steve want color Dale would have wanted. Without hesitation he said, "Black, That's Dale's color". Soooo Black it is and WITHOUT the upgraded radio and A/C.



3. Steve said he should get at least one, possibly 2-3 cars. My name is the first one 'The List'....



4. He also mentioned that Rick Hendrick will win the auction for the rights to buy the very first car - VIN # 00001. You just can't mess with Mega Bucks.



5. He thinks he'll get specific ordering instructions toward the end of this month.





The Bad:



1. I cant seem to locate the last two Piggy Banks that I need to break into in order to pay for this 'Street Legal Hot Rod'!....



Sheeeeeze what's a Southern Redneck to do?
