Hmmm, it would be wise for a Camaro replacement to cost much less than 30k in standard trim. True, GM has cancelled further plans for the Zeta platform, but more out of "reallocating resources ( human and financial)" as vice chairman Bob Lutz put it, in order to get other projects up to speed. The following quote suggests that things are on the right track.

Yes, uber bling factor of course. But with a top of the line model that can compete with a Ferrari straight off the showroom floor, the Corvette's own bling factor could only rise.
