Car and Driver's Thoughts on the Pricing

Relative to the Mustang and Challenger, the Camaro offers more ponies for less money. With its "estimated" 300-horsepower V-6, the Camaro LS comes in at $76.65 per pony. The more powerful SS model with the 422-horsepower V-8 is a relative bargain at $73.45 per horsepower. A Ford Mustang equipped with the base 210-horsepower six-cylinder engine starts at $19,995 which works out to be $95.21 per horsepower. Stepping up to the Mustang GT’s 300-horsepower V-8 requires $26,775, or $89.25 per horsepower. The base Dodge Challenger SE with 250 horsepower starts at $21,995 ($87.98 per horse), the mid-level 375-horsepower R/T begins at $30,990 ($82.64 per pony), and the top-dog SRT8 version with 425 horsepower begins at $40,095 which works out to $94.34 per horsepower.

Look at the Stickies in that forum. There are threads listing dealers who are price gouging, and others listing dealers who have promised to sell at or below MSRP.
