They were talking $80,000.00 - $100,000.00 at the PRI. There was a lot of traffic around that car. Several familiar faces.....

Contract hasn't been awarded yet.

I was told the target price is about $100K for the supercharged 327.

Testing on the track is planned for Monday

It's still a case of if they build them, but I would say the chance is much better that it will happen. The Chevrolet guys are pretty pumped about it. They got a ton of hits on their web page and a lot of guys showed-up ready to write checks. From what I saw, I doubt that they would have any problem selling 50 cars.

You are right about IF and WHEN, Does not mater that the CHEVY guys are pumped up! What really maters is how do the BEAN COUNTERS feel and how much they would have to spend to do this project, it's all about ROI at the end of the day.

You guys kill me. You act like this hasn't been done before,

(1) 150 Mustangs and 50+ Viper powered Challengers have proven that the cars can be sold for a known amount of $$.
(2) Chevrolet enthusiasts outnumber Ford and Dodge by a factor of 2.

The business model is a no brainer.

All Chevrolet has to do is figure out how to build the cars for 75-80K (cost) and a 20% margin is there.
The problem is that Chevrolet has multiple groups vying for control of this thing, I'd say internal politics are a bigger issue.

See you at the races,
Wayne Kerr

Chevy will build the things. Trust me. I have personally made enough bowtie people mad enough with all my cars and antics. A thank you would be in order for the people who like the idea of a new Chevy in competition. A gift certificate from Wal Mart would help. A *^#@ you will probably be in order from those who hate the new cars regardless of brand, and a special 'comment' from the Chevy people who hate the new cars, and I guess the gift certificate is out of the questiion. This should be interesting. Maybe I can move my popcorn order to this thread, as the other seems to have stumbled.

What is your dog in this hunt? I really don't understand why you bother to post comments like this.

Jeff, I love the new cars. Really cool. Just hate the bogus hp ratings. Don't care who built them.
