Uh.. Did you happen to notice the "SLP 750 HP" sticker? That's 200hp more than a stock ZL1. It's obviously done up by SLP, like the old "firehawk" trans ams, for example. And to tell you, my BOSS 302 would NOT keep up with a 750HP camaro in a straight line unless it couldn't hook up.Quote:

I want to know how much the Camaro Drag Pack cars are going for.

IIRC, the Ford Cobra Jet and Challenger Drag Pak went for low-mid 70s from the dealer.
It's a new-age Yenko. Stick it in the garage for the next 40 years and never drive it and you'll be able to get your money back. ;)
I'd rather have the real ZL1.
I'm pretty sure that car IS smog legal and has a warranty. That's not to say it's worth the money though...Quote:

These new cars will never be as collectible as the old metal, not by a long shot. A Yenko or Copo ZL1 will always be desirable; this? Not so much.Quote:

And they'll stand around, talking with the other guys in their 60s who will mill around their CRX, admiring the lines and talking about the "good ole' days" (ie. 1989).
Gosh I hate to rain on your parade but the pic you have presented as proof...is of a convertable. So of course the trunk is gonna be super small. Just saying.Quote:

Not to thread jack, but your comment made me think as to who would get more of such a car. The guy that buys it new, at a high price perhaps, and uses it to its fullest and enjoys every minute of it, or the guy that stores it and hopes to triple, quadruple the price or more in 30-40 years' time.Quote:

But the argument for an $80K package that's more than likely going to be traction limited like crazy, is baseless. And it's not going to be a collector car just because it's rare today, unless the SLP ZL1 has won some sort of championship that I'm not aware of.
Ill put my money into a Z06 and keep the change.
Yup, until someone buys it and then it becomes "Did your transmission explode yet? LOLZ." Gotta love TCL. :beer:Quote:

Who is going to buy it? Obviously not you so don't worry about it.

I seen that at the philly car show. I was impressed with it, but not the asking price.

Like the guy a few posts up, I've also seen this car in person at the Philly car show and it looked very well done.
Is this a proof of theory exercise? SLP is telling Chevrolet that their product is underpowered and under priced. Put this thing side by side with a Chevrolet ZL1 and I bet it still sells to the right person.
Who is going to complain when Lenno gets spotted in one?
id rather buy a gtr for that money. wth?

This isn't a 5.0, or a Boss 302, or a ZL1. It's a SLP ZL1. Like a Saleen Mustang or any other of the high end tuners. It's a COPO or a Baldwin motion. There are people who would prefer a Camaro that would wax a R8 or a Porche ya know. Even at the same price.
Seems about right given the price of used cars these days

SLP is awesome. I'm not in love with some details on this particular example but the motor is very nice and I won't knock someone else who has the means to enjoy it.
Just for reference:
1969 z/28 sticker price was $3588.
1969 Baldwin motion sticker was $9330.
Add about $20k to that and you're right there. All of them list around $90k and then go up from there depending on which engine you want.Quote:
