SS Pricing
 

I know this has been beaten into the ground but I need to know what you guys are thinking a ballpark figure for the SS/RS is. I have heard anywhere from 29k-40k+. I just don’t want to get my hopes up just to find out that the price is going to be at the high end of the spectrum. I’m thinking, and so are many other people, that the SS/RS will be about 33K. I hope this price is about right. I’m looking to hear what people close to the Camaro think the price is going to be not just someone’s uneducated guess.

i think after taxes and such and RS addons.. roofs and all that $36-37k if not slightly a little more. I think there will probablly be a transmission price differential as well between the Auto/Manual and the LS3/L99

Well I think Fbodfather said the Mustang was their goal as far as price goes, so hopefully they hit it and we get a great deal.

Everybody has their assumptions but I would have to say that yours is among the most reasonable. From the little tid bits we've heard, we kinda expect the SS to start out at about $29,995. R/S package wont be as expensive for the SS because the SS already has some of the features the R/S gives so you could be looking at $900-1000 for the R/S on an SS. Fully loaded which is the sunroof and R/S and all that stuff will wont even come close to touching $40,000 from what Fbotfather said (look at my signature). So I agree with your $33,000 ballpark. I still wouldnt mind $35,000-$36,000 though.

You aren't going to get that information here. Everyone associated with the project has been very tight lipped about the final pricing. It will be released when they are ready and anything else you read on this forum or others is pure speculation until then.

We all want to know the official pricing but it's just not available yet.

So, in the meantime, go think about color options. There is only 1 color more expensive than the rest. That's the only thing we know for sure at the moment with regards to pricing. :D

Thanks for the info guys. 35-36K is just outside my price range but if I’m that close I'll have to look under the cousins of the couch to find the rest lol

that price is high we have consistantly heard that it will be comparably priced to the mustang. we should know more on the 13th

Awesome. I'm looking forward to trading in my Stang and becoming a part of the Camaro family!:headbang:

My guess on a fully loaded SS w/ the RS package will be around 35k - 37k before taxes ..

There's a Gotham City , TX ? :D

:cry:

I hope they hit that mark too. I was a little upset when GM said they put the Camaro on Jenny Craig and then the Camaro came out weighing in at a hefty, what, 3860lbs? Anyway, I trust that our Camaro will be priced right for the market.

no new car is going to be lighter. between all the safety regulations added to cars and cost of materials there is little room to lighten cars without massive increases in price

I camn forsee high-30s for a fully equipped RS/SS. Just thinking about other interior options packages running for several thousands above base price make me believe this. Of course it goes without saying it would be astounding for that package to be less, but I won't be suprised otherwise. I think this car easily deserves and "premium" over Mustang that it will have. New chassis, great exterior and interior, so many more things. I think it's going to be a great value, even at the highend of the price specturm speculated here.

JMHO.

I heard it was gonna be priced competitively with ferrari.........:mad0259:

Yes that was sarcasm

I reallllllly cant wait until the actual pricing comes out! All this price guessing is starting to drive me craaaaaaaaaazzzzzzyyyyyyyy.:help::bonk::bangdesk:

Yes i expect a loaded 2SS/RS to run around 35k before taxes and other bells and whistles

I priced out a top of the line Mustang GT Premium yesterday to get an "idea" and it came to $33,400 after adding every option I could as close to the SS2/RS Camaro.

Take that for what it's worth.

you sir have the correct idea.

think of it like this.
 

Guys when the father said it would be priced comperably with the mustang, you need to realize there are three diff trim levels to the mustang, LX, GT, GT500. So one would suspect that the three different trim levels will be priced to compete with these three other trim levels. Now it has also been stated that the SS will not be 40K, that it will be very affordable. However that is probubly refuring to the base SS not one that is maxed out on oppions. S0 think of it like this. Base SS 29-32k, SS2 package 5-7K, RS package 2-3K, then add tax and all the other goodies.

For those still in doubt that this is ABM, here's the window sticker from this HHR..... Man, I think this color is amazing !!!

Not sure if this went through..but this should be something to peek at even when thinking about the V6..HHR SS turbo 4...26,600.00...kinda makes ya wonder...09 HHR...Hmmmmm

I think this is definitely a case of abuse of the SS heritage. The V6 Camaro will be faster to 60 (est. 5.9s) than the HHR SS.

Back on topic now...

We only have so many threads that people can guess at now; 1 Price 2 Performance 3 Allocations 4 Quality. In the home stretch. I look forward to see everyones 5th gen pictures.:thumbup:

Edit: If I left one out don't flame me to hard.

I don't think we will know anymore on the 13th than we do today.

im only saying what i was told by Pilcher and Fitzpatrick at indy. If you werent there i guess they didnt tell you that.....

should be interesting; i hope its priced lower myself

otherwise ford could go up scale and charge more for its base v8.

I hope it comes in on the lower end of the scale, but a little more might be fine. However, if a fully-loaded 2SS/RS comes in at more than 35-36K, I'm going to have to consider jumping into a more expensive BMW, even if it costs much more. I just can't justify paying more than that for a Camaro without a supercharged V-8.

The 370z is supposed to weigh less than the current 350z. Along with weighing less its going to make more hp (30+ hp if the rumors are correct).The Nissan boys,from what I've been hearing on the Nissan sites, are confindent it will be just as fast as the Camaro SS.

It will be fun proving them wrong. But the new 370z will definately be pretty quick. (most likely low 13s in the 1/4 mile).

But as you mentioned, the 370z is supposed to jump up a little in price compared to the previous model.

Someone said an optioned out Mustang GT Premium was ~33K? Okay. If that's the case, then if a fully-optioned 2SS RS Camaro comes in over 35,000...I will be absolutely astounded.

well I think he said a Gt Premium optioned to HIS liking (at least that is what I got from the post) so it cant be more than 35k either way....Ill go check that out :)

the camaro ss/rs 32k is a good price. any higher and theres a potential loss of consumers to the fully loaded mustang

I just did the same with the GT premium and the only thing I didnt include was navigation to try and make it fair, and it came out at just below 34k, sunroof would have added another thousand. The Challenger R/T optioned similar to the Camaro SS loaded is about 34.5k.

So based on that and Fbodfathers replies as well I can't imagine an SS2/RS with everything possible being over 36k.

A fully loaded Mustang is more than $32,000. So why would a fully loaded Camaro being more than $32,000 be so bad?

I priced the Mustang GT Premium to my liking (as close as I can come to an equivalent to what I want on the Camaro) and it's consistently come in at $35,000 or more.

Are you adding the glass roof, etc?
I tried my very hardest to option the darn thing to the sky...and I get right under 35k...:iono:

I've been thinking the same thing. It's actually difficult to come up with ways to get it more expensive without Ford Racing parts.

I want to know why people want all the options. Is it really that desirable to have everything? How practical is it to worry about a fully loaded car? The vast majority of us will get about half of the options. Everyone should expect to pay a couple thousand more than base MSRP for their options. Base MSRP will be competitive with a Mustang GT. Add $1,500 at the most to Mustang pricing.

Exactly, 33k for "well equipped" SS2/RS = REALITY!

33K to 35k top out
just my 2 cents
