Nice going, GM. Now, make one for $50k

You have the 1LE and the ZL1 in the lower price ranges. The 1LE is an option package on the standard SS. It has already been destroying the Mustang Boss on the track, but isn't going to touch the Porsches and GT-Rs. The ZL1 is in the mid to high $50K range, but is fully loaded and uses the Corvettes Magnetic ride suspension and a 580HP supercharged 6.2L LSX engine.
The Z/28 gets the LS7, special suspension parts and Carbonceramic brakes that will cost yoiuo and extra $9000 on the Porsche. Just read an article, they finally managed to put it up against a Porsche GT3 on the Barber track. The Porsche beat it around the track by .53 of a second. The test driver noted that the Porsche was only able to out run the Camaro because of the straight away. The Porsche was able to hit a 6mph higher top speed on the straight, and the Camaro was easy to manage in the corners while the Porsche took much more effort to keep under control.
