My 2014 (1 of only 500 for '14) is due to be submitted into GM's system any day now. Production in March/April. Deliveries April/May. Haven't heard of any dealer getting more then one '14 allocation, and most got "0". Crazy stuff for a Chevy.

'15 will be only 1500 allocations/cars built.

I placed my deposit back in April.

I imagine the '14's will be tough to comeby but releasing another 1500 in 2015 will make things a bit easier to find one on the lot somewhere. Plus the new Z06 will be rolling out which might sway some buyers.

I'd think all the '14's are certainly spoken for at this point. I know of several dealers with '15 allocations up for grabs who are asking at least $10k over. A resourceful, proactive fellow or gal could likely still root one out at MSRP but it'll take some work. It's a true limited edition and some (most) of the dealers are soiling themselves at the opportunity of financially-raping enthusiasts.

The C7 Z07 is undeniably appealing and will certainly be faster on a track than a Z/28, but it's not limited edition and approx 1 year away from being delivered. I don't buy cars on speculation of future value, but the Z/28 has a much greater likelihood of suffering minimal depreciation.

Figure rarely seen ZL1 Camaros sold over 10,000 units so far between '12 and '13, 2000 total Z/28's over two years is a minute build quantity and will let it hold value. Scarcity, as usual, being the primary determinate of value as with any commodity.

And the Z/28 will appeal on a gut level to some folks, as it does me. I really dig the new 'Vette but don't have desire to buy one, regardless of price.

As many of us appreciate, it is a fantastic time to be a performance car nut

Stuck close to home, primarily in right seats the past 1.5 years because certain manufacturers create marketing instead of cars

2014 should however see some changes. Thunderhill West Baby! Woot!

I keep hearing numbers of 500 14's and more like 2500 15's for a total production of about 3000 for what it is worth. Guess we'll know in 2016.

Why do they have to make all these new cars so HEAVY. Darn safety regulations.

I'm finding that I can only believe what about 1 in 20 people (selling something) tell me Makes for an interesting life!

Man that video is wild. "Lurid power oversteer" is the phrase that springs to mind. Yowsers.

GM has earned every bit of good press they are getting the old fashioned way- by giving enthusiasts crazy good value and old-fashioned fun for the buck.

Yes, I heard 2500 initially, then changed to 1500 for the '15's. I have no inside knowledge, but even 3000 total is a very small number. The determining factor seems to be the number of these hand-built, dry sumped LS7 427ci engines that can be built.

2011 Camaro production- 106,987
2012 Camaro production- 90,310

So even 3000 is only approx 3% of total Camaro production.

Agreed, we'll only know in 2016

Whoops- late edit. 3000 is expected max total 2 year production of Z/28, so my math should have been 3000/197,000, so not 3% but approx 1.5% of total model production.

Yeah from what I hear engines are the limiting factor. Enjoy yours when you get it. Looking forward to hearing your reviews. I can't bring myself to pull the trigger on one of these for some reason.
