1st off I would hope a car with a 550 hp motor would be faster then a car with a 430hp motor.

In my opinion the LS1 Camaros were faster then the LS1 Vettes but they were still 20+ grand less in price. I remember everyone complaining on how over priced those 4th gen cars were. My WS6 was 34,000 brand new. Hell my 95 Firehawk was 35,000 brand new.

Its 60,000 for a Camaro. Would you have spent 60k for a 2002 Camaro? How about a 95 Camaro? 3rd gen? I know I wouldnt. So why would I be interested in a 5th gen for 60,000? Just like when those guys first bought there GT500's. They are cool cars but when they told me how much they spent on them I had to laugh my ass off.

I like the 5th gen for the price that the V6 and SS are at. 24,000-40,000 is a good price for a new Camaro. I am sure if all the 5th gens camaros would have started at 55,000 then they would have sold a hell of alot less.

So being a Camaro Fan how does this not piss you off? Gm building this car for the Upper echelon guys and girls and not the Camaro fans. So Gm in your mind is saying that for the Camaro Fan base we get the Base cars and for the People who want a Vette but want one with a back seat we will offer the Z28 to them.


Going from a V6 to a V8 is about a 10,000 dollar option why going from a V8 to a supercharged V8 not be a 10,000 dollar option either? Ford was able to priceThe 03-04 Cobras between 38-40k and the GT's were in the 25-28k range back in 03/04. Thats about a 10,000 dollar difference.
