Not on the SS. SS has big wheels, rear spoiler and a unique front fascia standard. Those are not added to the SS via the RS package. ALL the RS adds to the SS are halo headlamps and the dark taillamps.[/QUOTE]

 

I know the SS has the 20" standard wheels but I've seen nowhere other than in the RS "package additions" on the Chevy website where it states that the SS automatically comes with the rear spoiler. Not saying it doesn't, just that I haven't seen it in writing from Chevy. I don't care what autoblog, road&track, or Edmunds writes until I see it from Chevy.

 

I was going with what was quoted on the RS thread here and not any of the auto sites. You're right. It's not in writing on the Camaro site right now from what I can see, but I find it very unlikely the SS won't have a standard spoiler.

 

I just find very unlikely that they can price compete with the Mustang without making us pay extra for the "little things" like a spoiler that we normally feel should be included.

 

They've said it will be a "premium" over Mustang. Not way out of the ballpark, but a little more. Not like the spoiler costs much. HIDs are expensive, I can see why they'd be optional even on an SS.

At the Australian reveal they have what appears to be a non-RS (no halos) SS model and it has a spoiler:

There are several pictures of this car in other threads as well. There's no Chevrolet or SS badging on the rear, but otherwise looks like most of the production SS models we've seen.

 

whar more "content" does the G8 have vs. the camaro?

 

Rear doors?

 

Each comes with a window sticker WITH A PRICE.

 

Please god, prove me wrong, but I think everyone is living in fantasy world to assume the SS/RS will be any less than 42K.


God I hope I'm wrong.

Challenger SRT8 425 horses starts at 42,000

Shelby GT 500 500 horses starts mid 40's....

 

That will be financial suicide to have an SS over 42k no matter what package it is. You should get a SS fully loaded around $37,000

 

Your right but I think $37,000 is still a bit high. Should be about $34,000-$35,000 fully loaded. Maybe it might hit $37,000 if you add some of the GM extras they're going to offer at the dealer. I would hope that when the Z/28 makes it's return that it would cost no more than $45,000. Here's hoping!

 

If the Z28 is over $45k then it will fail, the only people who would be getting one would be the collectors. $45k is the limit I set that I will not go over for one, if it's more I'll just be getting an SS. $45k get you a really nice Vette these days!

 

Z28, when it eventually comes out, will be the car that targets SRT8 and GT500 on price.

SS will be price-competitive with Mustang GT (26k) and Challenger RT (price not available yet). SS/RS will be competitive with the GT Premium (28k).

I don't know the above for a fact, but it would be a death sentence for Camaro if I'm wrong. Camaro simply can't be that expensive. Z28 has more freedom, but the V6 and the SS need to be within $2000 of Mustang's equivalents or it's just not going to sell.

 

Better question: will we be able to get GM Employee Discounts on the '11s?
