Hope it isn't a repost, looked but didn't see it.
Sounds nice, looks like it is doing pretty well. Would really like to see some lap times.

Mike, thanks for the post. It's been a long wait for the new Camaro; wish they'd get it out on the street sooner.

Me too, it seems like it is taking a long time. If it is truly about 3700 pounds with an LS3 at 400 HP should move out pretty good. 12 second 1/4 mile blasts and it looks like this one is going to stop and turn pretty good too.

Why do I have visions of GM doing the exact same thing as last time when it comes to the Camaro?

And what is that? While it may not have been the best car on the planet, you couldn't really beat the bang for buck.

It seems as if GM is walking down the exact same road as the last gen F bodies. Stuff the same engine from the Corvette under the hood and with the pricing of the Camaro you could spend the couple extra grand and have yourself a Corvette. GM killed the F body cars because pricing was too close to the Corvette. I'm just hoping they don't do the same thing again. They have to have a decent sized price gap between the two

Close only if you bought a like a WS6, mine was 34,000 out the door brand new. That is 10,000 grand off a vette with similar options.
My 01 Z28 was 22,900 out the door the only thing it didn't have was the 12 disc cd changer that was 6 speed leather, all power options. It ran 12.92 at 110.02 mph Bone stock.
I don't know where you were buying F-bodies but you were getting ripped off.
A nice C5 was 40,000 getting a good deal. Most used C5s are still more than a normal T/A or Camaro was new.
I have had 5 brand new F-bodies, so I have an idea what price was.

Pricing between the two (around here at least) wasn't too far off from one another. The worst was when that ugly limited edition TA with the yellow and black scheme was at the local Pontiac dealership for the better part of a year because they wanted $48k for it.

because it's not a GT-R?
