The Viper is a beast of a car, but it is about as perfect a balance on a street car as you can get. You're still talking about a 100k car however...

The last ZR1 only made the one run, and as far as I know, they never re-ran it..

Instead...I think they might be toying with a track "upgrade" beyond what the ZL1 1LE already has. Perhaps that's what the black car we saw was about?

Drag packs....Mag Ride and transmission calibrations?

LT5 blower kit?

The possibilities are endless...I just don't see the Z/28 among them for gen SIX. The opportunity was the ZL1 1LE, and that's passed.

Could very easily see it as an upgrade package available to both old/new customers. And, I can absolutely see it being similar to them offering the 1LE package solo....

It's not that much of a stretch to buy it, given what they did with the recent Drag Pack offering...
