Before you drove the z28 off the lot in 2015, did the dealer require you to cut sleeves off your shirt?
Lol
Not even a comparison, and look at the value, you can prob get a z28 in the 40's now. Z28 is only good for the track and nothing else. It's heavy as hell and is the gen V camaro body (boat).
C7z is better at everything especially on the track. Again no comparison.

People ultimately drive what they like or can reasonably afford. Seating positioning and comfort are big in my book. The Z/28's Recaro seats fit my body frame the best of any car I've ever owned and my right knee doesn't rub against a center console which I find, ultimately, incredibly comfortable. Although it's a little piggy @ 3,837 lbs (which I don't mind), the car can boogie!
No, it's technically not the fastest/quickest car around 'any track' nor should it be with 505HP. However, it could be quite nasty with a legit Lingenfelter package, etc.
I have appreciated the mega-transformation the Gen 5 Camaro went through in a mere five years - from literally a piece of crap car to a viable track competitor.
Is the Z/28 good looking to everybody? Of course not, just like most Mustang, Porsche, Dodge, etc., guys don't prefer the look of a corvette.
As mentioned, people buy/drive what suits there tastes and financial parameters best.

Traded my 2015 ZL1 for a 2016 Z51 Stingray. Both cars - fantastic. For daily driving, and "seat of the pants thrill" I pick the Stingray. The Z06, in another league altogether! Would be interested in the Gen6 ZL1 comparison with the Z06...

I get your joke, but I'd say the old Camaro stereotype died when the brand was relaunched.
