Based on what I've seen Scott and others in the know say, I am guessing the following:

Camaro LS: $21,000
Camaro LT: $24,000
Camaro RS: $27,000
Camaro SS: $29,000 (L99+6L80 and LS3+TR6060 being the same price)
Camaro RS/SS: $30,000

Additional options on top of those basic packages will be able to increase the cost even more. Checking every option box should have you end up around $35,000. I also expect that the V6 cars will have a ~$1000 premium for the automatic transmission option.

This also fits fairly well with the pricing of the G8, which is larger and targets a higher-content market. An RS/SS and a G8 GT have a lot in common, and I've priced them just about the same.

 

If I had to guess, I'd say you're fairly close, although I suspect only the "stripper SS" will be under $30k.

 

How does that differ from what I said? I listed an SS with no other options at 29k.

 

I think it'll be $29,995.

 

Damn, according to jakerobb's estimate, it would mean the RS would cost about $3000 for the upgrade. OUCH!

 

I hope your right.

 

You know, when I picked out those prices, I was thinking that the larger wheels and tires were part of the RS package. While that may be true, we can't say for sure.

If they are, then I'd say my quote for the V6 RS is about right. If they're not, then maybe not so much.

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what's in the RS package outside of badges and HIDs.

 

Again, my opinion only, I think JakeRobb is a couple grand light right down the line with the RS/SS probably being 3-4k light. In it's infinite wisdom, there is no way GM lets you put an RS package on a base SS. They'll make you add the "leather and stereo upgrade" package or something similar first before allowing the RS addition. Although I will admit that I'm leaning towards the possibility of a base model V8 SS coming in around $31000 vs the $33000 I wrote earlier putting the fully optioned out RS/SS at roughly $38,000 if/when HUD, nav, etc are available.

Question? Is it RS/SS or SS/RS ?

 

From what I've seen, 20 inch wheels and tires are part of the RS package on the LT:

HID headlamps
spoiler
20-inch 5-spoke wheel
RS unique taillamp,
body-color roof ditch molding
RS badging (front and rear)

on the SS I think it only adds the headlamps and taillamp treatment. Not sure if the SS has the roof ditch molding standard? I know it already has the nice wheels and spoiler standard.

 

Jake Robb....


I hope you are right! And if you are, where do I sign for an SS with RS package?????

 

I see it being more like this:

Camaro LS: $21,000
Camaro LT: $22,000
Camaro RS: $24,000
Camaro SS: $28,000 (L99+6L80 and LS3+TR6060 being the same price) although I think the auto is going to be a bit more expensive then the manual on the V8.
Camaro RS/SS: $30,000

What do we know of the differences between the LS and LT? Just the wheels? Surely it's more then that.

 

I see this overlooked quite a bit. I personally see comparing the Camaro to Mustang sort of like comparing a BMW to a Volkswagon. Nothing wrong with either, but the BMW tends to be a much higher quality car. This is just a generalization, but keep that in mind with the whole weight/price thing.

I think I read somewhere that the console gauges were optional....probably just a mag. article with bad facts, but things like that on the inside could be a part as well. Interior trim pieces, etc.

 

You're in a pipe dream if you think the SS/RS (RS/SS) will be under 32k.

 

The console gauges aren't standard, but I haven't caught what qualifies as the "premium interior" they come with yet. I've just heard them say "on the nicer interiors you get these." In one of the chats I think they said that LT also added foglights and power drivers seat in addition to the wheels. I'd guess seat fabric will be nicer, too. I'm assuming leather will be an option as the red RS appears to have it.

Primus, I don't see why the RS package would be 2k on the SS. It's really only adding the lights.

 

"with HID headlamps with integrated halo ring feature, spoiler, specific taillamps"

but the "real" money add on (in my opinion) will be what package you will be required to buy to add the RS option. As I stated earlier, something like leather and stereo upgrade would be my guess. So while the actual RS package may indeed be around $1500, by the time you get stuck with the "required" intermediate package, it'll really be $3000-3500. If something like the leather/stereo is something you wanted anyways, then it doesn't really matter; but if you simply want a base SS and try to add ONLY the RS to it, you're probably going to get screwed.
