Found this on another forum,

QUOTE(hidden for safety @ Aug 9 2008, 08:23 AM)
I found out the pricing of the 09 Camaro, $22,000.00- $33,000.00. I had a feeling the SS "top of the line" would not exceed $35k. The base model V6 (The Cadilliac CTS engine) will have 300 HP, then the RS V8 will have 395 HP & TQ, The SS "The one I'm getting" is gonna have about 420 HP and 408 TQ. All will be offered with a 6M or 6A. The 6.2 liter that will be the Camaros V8 is derived from the Vette, it will also be aval in the GTO, and G6. So it looks that the Camaro is going to be very reasonably priced IMO. Cost about $30K to get a fully loaded Mustang GT which comes with alot less HP.

I'm really excited about the new Camaro coming out, and will have to restrain myself from purchasing one next year. I really want to wait for at least 2 years until the Camaro has been out. This way if there is any bugs, they can be worked out. Also the Dodge challenger is slated to have an optional 425 HP 6.1 Hemi, and I think GM is really gonna up the power train after the Camaro debuts to stay ahead in the HP.



I posted this in reponse,

I dont know were you got your info from but the pricing isnt going to be out until December and the RS is just an app package with halos, wheels, ect...., theres only going to be 3 choices of engines, 300hp DI V6, SS 400hp ATM AFM, and a SS 422hp 6sp no AFM i have a list of important dates to look forward too. Im a member on www.camaro5.com you can find all kinds of info on there,

This is what he responded with,

I guess where you get your information from is a little behind and old. The pricing is gonna be estimated from $22,000.00 - $33,000.00 (est) and this information is a little premature as it is suppose to be for sept.08. Therefore you are correct about it not fully being realeased to the public and being advertised all over. Perhaps you should dig a little deeper into what information you can obtain. I also have information on real test drives of the 09 Camaro, and performance data. The 6.0 which is also shared in the GTO, G6 V8, and the SSR all make the same in HP and all share the same engine. Camaro is expected to hit dealers Jan 09.


Is there any truth to this that i havnt read about on here and need to return to let him know i was wrong thanks, and if hes right im so happy with the price

[The_Stache]

completely left field there...

FACTS we know that throw a bad shadow on any possible "real" information he has.

Production starts julst like you posted, feb 16,09. Tell him you will buy it for twice MSRP if he gets it to you by Jan 30, and if he fails he buys you one.

Oh also tell him that only 2 engines for the first production year.. 3.6 and the 6.2... NO 6.0

[boxmonkeyracing]

everything with a grain of salt and did he produce a source? doesn't look like it from these posts. but just respond we'll see in Dec.

[The_Blur]

Pricing hasn't even been decided by GM.

[65bus]

no sorce yet, ill keep informing on it. Also i did tell him no 6.0
i dont know were people get info like this from alot of other forums mention things like this but no proof wasnt sure if i was overlooking it somewere cause i try to stay on top of things in this forum. I love this forum thanks Camaro5.com

[Congoman775]

no. It's bs.

[nester7929]

The guy is full of crap. If this info were leaked, someone on this site would have been all over it. Besides, we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that the RS is an appearance package and not an engine at all, providing a more-than-subtle hint that this guy is talking out his backside.

You shouldn't be happy with the price of the SS at $33,000. The Camaro would tank. That's $7,000 more than a Mustang GT. Most individuals who are interested in buying a Camaro SS know enough about modding to know that 7 grand can make a LOT of hp/torque gains. The truth is, a person could buy a Mustang GT and turbocharge it with that kind of a price difference.

General Motors HAS to keep the price within 1-2k at ALL levels if it wants even a chance at succeeding. With the Mustang and Challenger already eating up what remains of the muscle car market, GM can't afford to both be late to the party and have a car that's significantly more expensive than both of its competitors.

[camaros and vettes]

someone delete this crap!! it is none true!! retard^^^^

[FenwickHockey65]

EPIC FAIL on his part.

We're not going to know pricing for a while, and anyways, Scott said pricing would be similar to the competition's. So around $20k base price for the base LS.

[chevydude26]

waits for fbod to laugh at that guy...

they used to have guys like that at the videogame forums all the time before major systems were coming out you would hear all sorts of fake rumors and lies...just really bored people who like feeling like they have some power or do it for attention

[Xanthos]

Actually, the sad thing is that most of these people think these things up, yes, but then they convince themselves of them so completely that they actually do think they heard them somewhere. They don't realize that they're sadly mistaken. Right now I'm estimating my LT/RS will come it right at about 24,000 (20-22 starting, +1.5 for LT, +1.5 for RS = 23-25) before my military discount, which should drop it to about 20-23 grand depending on how big the military discount is and how much it is more than the mustang (I can't see it being more than the challenger). I can live with that.

Since when did the G6 get a V8 option? LOL I'd almost consider buying one if it did. Also, that idiot must have got his pricing info. from Motor Trend.

Man, what are you talking about? The Mustang GT starts out at $28,375 and the 2009 Mustang GT i just built on the site ends up at $36,760. Now that $33000 is what i assume to be around the price of an SS with EVERYTHING or close to it. The base SS should definitely be lower priced close to the base mustang GT price.

WHAT FORUM WAS THIS???????? i must know
