Camaro's lineup?

[.Hack]

a little offtopic... what about MPG? since current mustang GT is about 15-16 city (mine is a bit higher, around 17 not pushing it too hard).

Since Camaro's V8's gonna be a 6 liter unit... will it eat too much gas compared to a 'stang? hmm.. i hope not, at lest not by much anyways

With cylinder deactivation on the highway it could push 30 mpg. But yeah, around town it is going to eat the gas. I don't see how that is an issue though. MPG shouldn't even be something you consider when you look at buying a V8 because you know its going to suck. You buy a V8 for the performance, and you buy a camaro because Jesus would have driven one.

Sometimes all the talk about economy seems like a contradiction, however, I want it too. I have to say that, to me, these cars shouldn't be too far from
30 MPG on the freeway. For the love of God, my LT1 got 30+ MPG on the freeway going 80 MPH!!! (that is, only freeway driving) To me, it is hard enough to stay off the loud pedal but mileage won't be too big a concern. Just give me a good 'ole SBC and I'll be good to go.

MMmmmm.....I don't know. That LS3 costs the SAME as the LS1. I know the technology will be far better than the old 4th Gens, but I don't think the price would go up that much. I bet w/ a motor like that, GM could pull the #'s and STEAL the musclecar market right out from under the feet of everyone!

How, did you put 20 grand down on a car, that doesn't even have a price tag on it? Ramp Chevy (where i'm buying it) Is only taking 500 bucks to reserve it and when prices come up. We get to choose which one we want and what packages. I'd try and get that 19,500.00 back lol.

He's saying he has a 20 thousand dollar down (payment). Sometimes, our typing isn't too clear!

i have to agree with tag->>>
think about it a fully loaded G8 gt is MSRP $32,745,(will be a little more with all-season tires) yes i know that is not the LS3 but... it has been pointed out many times on the forums that pontiac is usually money $$$$ then chevy. i would guess that a fully loaded camaro, @ least one that will come out early next year, can't be anymore then this.
i really believe gm will do it right and give us a car we want @ a good price. it's the dealers i'm worried about.

[Emu the Foo]

yeah, sorry for the confusion. i mean that i have about 20k saved up so when it comes out i will thorw that at them. but tell me if this makes sense. should i put ten down and with that remaining ten make double payments for a while??? boost up my credit or pay it off fast??? thanks for saving me too tag

[radz28]

I think I'd weigh what the difference in the paymens would be. If you could swing payments on the $10K, maybe you could use a little for some mods' and then put the rest toward monthly payments.

I'm not good with money though...

[Emu the Foo]

thanks for the advice cuz im not good with money either. maybe 15k would work

[radz28]

That's a lot of dough though. Be careful

[Emu the Foo]

yeah but ill have some left over. i landed this new job with at&t and with benifits ill be makeing an estimated $64,233. i got it in feb lol, im gonna start saving now

[radz28]

Congrats' on the new job I'm sure it feels good to be in the work force again
