[QUOTE=songsj;1460366]True however one thing that I think is being over looked here is that Z28's and Trans Ams were always considered the poor man's Corvette. If you can't afford a Corvette you buy a Z or Trans Am. My point is this, PRICE. If a nice V8 Camaro starts costing as much as a base Corvette GM would be competeing with themselves in a limited market.

The drive away price on a loaded 2SS right now is as much as a very nice one or 2 year old Corvette. I think they are as high as they can go. They only can increase from here along with Corvette increases. The spread can't tighten or more people will just buy Corvettes.[/QUOTE]

Two main reasons that will not happen, among other reasons like Insuarnce ETC.

#1........A V8 Camaro will always be at least 10k or MORE (like it is NOW) cheaper than a base Corvette. (Even the Z28 when it is available)

#2.......Besides the 10+K price difference. No back seat! Even if just for kids or short trips with adults.
