Hrrm.....I don't think there is much to argue w/ the results of this pole...
I don't think there is any arguement in that if there is 5th Gen, the basic formula absolutely must stay the same...ie: V8 in top models, RWD, affordable, edit: manual transmission...
we could argue all day about what the next fbody should entail..but bleh...im tired...
My Formula is a toy. I don't really care about creature comforts, road noise, ride quality etc... It is pretty damn quick and handles rather well especially considering the relatively low amount of money I've spent on it... If there is a 5th gen that ends up in my driveway...it'll be merely a toy. Honestly, if I want a comfortable driver, I'll get a truck or something.
Honestly I want my next car to be more along the lines of early RT/10 Vipers...if you've ridden in one, you know what I mean
and whether or not its an Fbody, we'll see...
Pure and simple, I like going fast and I don't like spending a ton of $$

If Chevy ever makes a 5th gen Z/28 that I want to buy...I'd doubt that it would be my daily driver either.
I really don't need 23 cupholders, power seats, steering wheel mounted volume controls and a bunch of gizmos to have fun with it.
I do, however, insist that it is well built, well put together and well engineered and gives me some sense of quality.

The misconception that many people have is that for a car to have quality it must have buttons, 50 seat adj. ect....... Just not true. Make it fast, make it handle, make it stop, make it not sqeek and i might buy......

One as a toy and one as a daily driver.

LOL, not $34-$35,000 top models thats for sure!! The car has to be made for people in their 20's and 30's to afford, thats where the real market is, and the whole import thing would become an even bigger joke if they could buy them.

If we want the 5th gen to be a substantially better car...which it must...what are we willing to pay?

$20k for barebones..
I'd be surprised if they release a V8 under $20k.. Even if they did, insurance would kill any teenager.

... j/k Some people wouldn't agree with me but I was actually thinking(or wishful thinking) that they would have the price range closer to what the 3rdgens were but not the same.My '91Z was $18k new so take in consideration with today's inflation you have the $22-25K for a loaded Z28 and maybe $18K for a bare bones Z28.
