It’s hard to find a fault in the 2014 Camaro Z/28. If you are already a Camaro fan, then sticking what some believe is one of the best engines General Motors has ever made under the hood, the 7.0-liter LS7, and garnishing it with racecar-like aerodynamics and carbon ceramic brakes is a recipe for perfection. The one area of the car you could criticize and not be blamed for it though is the pricetag. The Z/28 commands an eye-popping $75,000, which fueled the discussion on this week’s episode of After/DRIVE.
Drive’s Mike Spinelli along with Travis Okulski from Jalopnik and Bloomberg’s Jason Harper recently drove the Camaro Z/28 at Monticello Motorclub in New York. They all enjoyed driving the car and praised its capability, but the question of its price was still in the air. Contributing to the Z/28’s high price is its long list of model-exclusive parts, such as the ‘Flowtie’ and Brembo brakes, which GM has purposely restricted to prevent clones.
All 500 Camaro Z/28s available for the 2014 model year have already been spoken for, so no matter how you feel about that $75k pricetag, there are plenty of people who think it’s worth every penny. The guys from Drive also think the Z/28 is worth its asking price, with Spinelli even suggesting it might be good value for the performance you get in return. Check out their mini-debate in the video below and let us know your opinion on the price in the comments.

Damn good things cost damn good money.
If it gets defeated on the track (which it won’t), then Chevrolet can lower the price. Otherwise, it is a purdy good bargain!
75,000 for a track car fine, not on your life, to many faster cars out there. If your a Camaro fan like I am just find a 69 z28 Camaro ,there’s lots out there and you will be a lot happier , just my opinion.
