Unless it is strictly Track, then I'm out.

I'm still optimistic about GM carrying the ZL1 again, so I hope your source is wrong.

And if the dude on LS1-Tech forum is not full of Sh!t, he apparently has seen the ZL1 CAD drawings - for whatever that is worth.
I'm sure it will be cheaper. The current Z/28 is more of an engineering exercise. It demonstrated what the engineering team could do. They knew it would be a low volume car.

The LS7 was an expensive engine, and with the other standard parts, it made the whole car very expensive. I doubt the next gen car will come standard with carbon brakes or Recaros. Most likely, it will have MRC instead of the DSSVs, which will help reduce costs as well.
