did I see a late availability HUD?

 

I think this is pretty good. I remember my MSRP on my 35th LE being $33695 and that was 7 years ago. Factor in inflation, cost of production, safety features (TPMS, additional airbags, etc.), and it looks really competitive. Oh, are we also forgetting the new car has 77 more HP than the top of the line SS back in '02? Also, $1500-$2000 is roughly 6% additional cost to the car for what I am seeing from budgets from some of you which is really only another $35-$40 per month for payments. Cut the Starbucks and wake up with a V8 rumble!

 

Personally I think those prices are excellent, considering the caliber of car that you will get for the money. Also the LT with the V-6 is a really awesome price.
I cannot believe some of you guys crying over a couple thousand dollars in the price that you think it should be. Why dont you save up for a year then get Camaro with the options that you want?

Ill be getting (hopefully)a 2SS, but Im going to have to wait untill about a year from now to make sure my finances are in order.

 

2SS/W1H/WRS. I'm definitely holding out for the HUD though. If I'm going to pay $37k for a car, I want to get everything I want.

 

I agree with both of you. Some people are still stuck in 1995 when it comes to pricing.

 

500 bucks a month for a car. seems liek a lot to me.

 

A SUNROOF in an Fbody? That's just wrong LOL

Pricing looks good though.

 

Anyone want to guess what dealer markup is going to be over MSRP?

 

No, it will come with regular tires. It will come with a tire inflator kit with tire sealant. Same as the G8 GT's have. A spare isn't even an option on the GT's. It's for weight savings and balance. Most people don't even know how to change a tire so they call roadside service. Unfortunately, when you need a spare tire, it's usually because of a catastrophic failure, not a small leak you could seal with tire sealant.

 

Load it up completely and you're looking at about the same price as a new vette from Corvette Conti. I gotta think about this one.....

Definately going to have to wait until employee pricing is available. They're killing us with the price of the V8.

 

Just makes you wonder, "What's coming in the following year?" It's a trend w/ f-bodies...in 93 everyone wanted the new 4th gen, then look what you got w/ 94-95, then 96-97, then the 98-02, ect. So, what will be here next????

How about the economy??? Getting credit even w/ an excellent FICO (750+) is tough....

It will be tough not to join in the buying frenzy, but may have no other choice....for at least a year...

 

Maybe so, but $7000 more than our pretty well equipped '06 SS to get the one I want is kind of a shock. I got my vette for 44k, they can be had at some dealers in base trim (which is similar to a loaded Camaro) for 39k.

 

A very nicely equipped 2009 mustang GT premium has a 29k sticker price. I don't think GM learned their lesson from last time, if you purchase a nicely equipped 2SS you are then in the market for a corvette. Isn't this the EXACT issue that killed the camaro first time around ? "Why would i spend this much on a camaro when i can shed a few more thousands and get a vette" Don't get me wrong, i love the camaro (except for the gauges) but once again it's too pricey.

 

The Camaro is SO MUCH MORE than a stupid Mustang. LOOK at the standard content and options! It comes with an independent rear even! It's gonna ride and handle AWESOME!

 

Hmmmm.........The SS option is a bit more than I was hoping for. I will definitely have to wait for the second year of production to buy one now. I was really hoping to be able to retire my current Camaro in October or so of next year, but it looks like I'll have to live with it as a daily driver a bit longer. This also makes a strong case for a used C6.
