The Camaro will be more than a comparable Mustang. The fact that the V6 Camaro has 300hp is just a good reason to laugh and point at Ford people, V6 vs.V6 is all we care about here.
I say low 20k's for the base LS, mid 20k's for the base LT, and low 30k's for the SS. It would be awesome if the L99 version started at 29k and change.

Cost is a factor as well in the camparison.
(for arguments sake)
If said V6 with 300hp is priced at 26,000.. you wouldn't really be comparing it to the base V6 Mustang anymore, it'd be better compared to the GT. (based on power and price)
I could see it threading the needle on the comparible mustangs (at least in the interm until ford starts using the newer engines)
Priced (and faster) above a V6 mustang, but more power, yet not as expensive as the GT, nor as fast.
Priced (and faster) above the GT mustang, but more power, yet not as expenisve as a Shelby, nor as fast.

Heres one of my predictions...
Many times i have seen all motor lightly bolted on 02 SS's run with or in front of lightly bolt 03 supercharged cobras....
Many times i will see 2010 lightly bolted on SS's run with or in front of 2010 supercharged GT500's
:evilgrin:

Dealers do not get the pricing much before pricing is announced to the press -- simply because there is no such thing as a secret anymore!
The pricing will be announced shortly after the new year --
Meanwhile -- I can tell you that it will be very competitively priced. I've seen any number of 'experts' say that the car is going to be $35,000 to $45,000 -- they could not be more wrong..............

A Camaro team member has just responded with when the pricing will be released and that it will be "very" competitively priced. He even decided to bust a popular pricng myth.
End of Debate!

^You better hope 18" wheels fit over the rear Brembos on a Camaro. I dont know of any 20" drag radials out there.
The 09 Mustang GT premium has gone up $1000 over the 08. Added content that was optional is now standard. The 2010 Mustang GT will be out in Jan. 09. THAT is the model that GM will base its 2010 Camaro pricing on, not the 08 or 09.

Nittos are junk, you need MT ET Street radials to really hook. On second thought, Nittos might be good for the Camaros IRS. We'll see how strong the halfshafts are early next year when cars are taken to the tracks with sticky tires by their owmers.
