The Corvette, and the Supra are both niche performance vehicles and are less common. The thing that makes the top Camaros a performance bargain is also what makes them less special on the road. If GM decided to only make the ZL1, I suspect that it would be marked up much higher as manufacturing costs would be more expensive.
Keep the ZL1 long enough and you'll see prices climb. Around that time, you'll get the current younger owners that couldn't swing a ZL1, but remember the nostalgia of their 4-cylinder or V6 Camaro, and they'll have more resources to go after a ZL1.
Also, I haven't had crazy compliments but I don't take the car out that often. I think most people think that it's just a run-of-the-mill Camaro with some bodywork, which is fine by me. The guy in an Infiniti G35 a few weeks ago realized it wasn't a run-of-the-mill Camaro.  |
haha.
The guy in the Tesla Model 3 was a bit surprised as well when he sped up to me on the highway and wanted to see a pull. As a prior Tesla Model 3 owner I knew what was going to happen since we were already traveling at 65mph.
The ZL1 pulled head with authority while he was able to hear the dual mode exhaust in all its glory. He gave me a thumbs up. Now, if we were at a stoplight he would pull a car or so ahead until we hit around 60mph then it is over. Start throwing some turns and then you start to realize why these cars are so good for the money but you have to be an enthusiast to appreciate them.
