Even when there was no 6th Gen, the Z28 was a tough sell. For the same money, you can get a Vette and get better performance, plus creature comforts. Or for less money, get an SS, and get the same look, more comfort and less performance.
That leaves a very small, niche market. The idiotic Chevy salesmen don't help. I looked at one last year and was told, "You don't want that, that's a race car. It doesn't even have AC.."... Then he led me over to the Corvettes.
I appreciate what GM did with the Z28. They made a track car. I think they could've sold a boat load of them if they'd just dumped a 427 into an SS, put some special badges on it and raised the price by 10k.
