This will make it end up more expensive than the ZL1... Just like the 5th Gen Z/28, and we all know how that worked out for Chevy sales-wise.

And that's the thing, track-oriented models are expensive because all the things exclusive to it, which means less economy of scale and higher cost. There is a reason M4 GTS is horrendously expensive. If GM does something like that, it wouldn't be that different. It's too expensive for your typical track junkies(which will just buy the ZLE that's likely cheaper than a theoretical Z/28), and it's too hardcore to attract people who can usually afford something like this.
