A lot, they have taken so much time to make the camaro to production ... how long are we gonna wait for a supercharged? 1 or 2 years? I'm not that patient, and again, the GT500 looks good.

for 70k, you can buy a GT-R...dealer markups are a bitch.

However, I feel like we all have the same concern ... WHEN? Things can change but WHEN? WHEN? WHEN? We need to know. You don't make decisions when you don't know what's gonna happen. If the Z28 comes within a year, I'll wait. If it's 2 or 3, maybe I will take a look at other manufacturers ...

Anyway ...
What strange is that this weird unveiling, these weird declaration seem to have completely killed the event ... Almost everybody here seems somehow more or less disappointed ... Some (like me) regarding the supercharged, Some regarding colors some regarding production dates Some regarding the poor yesterday's show ... I feel like GM has completely missed this unveil ... We will always have reasons to complain, but I really feel the excitement felling of esterday's afternoon just left all of us tired ... you know ... like a boxer who won only by points ... he won, but not that big, and have taken quite a number of punches though ...

On a side note, after going back and reading the last few pages that I missed, I have to say that I am very happy with the way the car has turned out so far. We all know GM is in troubled times and are having to make drastic changes to lineups and future plans which may have been greenlighted months ago are being put on hold and so forth.. The gas mileage sounds worse than it is for the Camaro because AVG MPG rating has changed for the worse. 23MPG means 27MPG from last year and so forth. If people don't know this, then the Camaro V6 and V8 look like a gas hogs when compared to its competitors current MPG numbers and even previous camaro's. In order for GM to survive, the V6 needs to be the top seller and they need to capitalize on the Transformers fame for the Camaro by aggressively marketing and sending yellow bumblebee's to many car dealer's which will generate lots of buzz and get people to go look at the car in the showroom. By word of mouth, people will know they have arrived and pre-order's will be made.. On another side note, dealer markups have the potential to kill this whole ride before it starts. I have spoken to a few dealers here in Miami and they are expecting to markup the price of the V6 by $10,000 or more when it comes out for the first orders. This will definitely hurt sales and drive those people away that want to pay nothing more than MSRP, me included. If someone could point me to a South Florida dealer willing to sell at MSRP, someone let me know.. I wish GM would sell these direct to customers and allow for customized pre-orders so we wouldn't have to deal with snake-like car dealers.. I know this is long-winded, however it has been a lot of fun participating in this forum and reading so many posts. It is great to have Scott come on here and let us in on some leaked info here and there and keep us in the loop.. We are all interested in the car and have been the most vocal about any differences from the concept. 422HP is a great number, even though the weight is a bit high.. However it is just as fast as an SRT8 Challenger for $10,000 less MSRP.. However if I can't get it MSRP, then the price will be the same for both and out of most of our reach. Even if I could afford $40,000, I wouldn't pay $10,000 over the MSRP. I'd rather go buy a corvette without markup at that price range even though the camaro looks a lot nicer.. It has been tough reading all these posts considering the excitement from the buildup the last few weeks.. I feel bad the unveiling was a letdown to most on this forum because the expectations were so high.. I will however say that I will be one of the first to go see the cars when they reach the showrooms and take pictures of it at the very least. Things will get back to normal in this forum in a week or so and hopefully those questions about the Manual and Auto 0-60 times differing will be answered by then. And I do love the way the front turned out on the V6.. Halo's look amazing and it is literally identical to the concept.. I do want to see the V8 SS side by side the V6 soon so I can make the final judgment as to which front I will like the best.. Thank you GM, Scott, Camero.. and all the disciples for helping to make this Camaro something special..Peace.. ohh and thank you Admin of this site and moderators as well for keeping this site updated with the latest news...Peace..

Dude! Relax! Get the GT500 now, and in a few years, you can get a killer trade on the "Top Dawg!" Camaro. Yes, they will build it, and we will buy. So, if you have to "lease" a placeholder car for awhile to keep you happy, then do it! No worries!! You think my 2000 Z28 was my ultimate choice for a car?? NO!!! But I've been patient, and I will have what I really want when I'm ready for it. It's kept me VERY satisfied so far. So -- chill. JMHO.

I guess my disappointment is too big right now. I should wait a little before thinking about all that stuff ...

Good point, my friend. Very good point. I had not thought about the import ramifications. I hope you find an acceptable solution.

I read the forums and tell people just that, there has been rumor to...but the only time I say anything regarding the car for certain is when I have facts in front of me. I don't like my bubble burst either, and yes, I am hoping for a Z28. Trust me, the demand is there! I've heard it from several people I've talked to over the last few weeks. I just wish I was that guy at GM that says YES or NO....Because YES would be really easy for me to say. Even if it's a two or three year run. |

I think there will be a Z28. If my memory serves me correctly, the Z28 was not offered right off the bat in 67 either.

actually I dont think the GT500 is in production anymore. I think the last year of production was 2008. That is the normal $42,000 version called the GT500, it's last year was 2008.
Now the GT500 SuperSnake and GT500 KR may still be in production? I don't know but those cars are $75K+ and up! Also , I mean c'mon, did you guys really think that GM was making a Camaro Z28 that would outpower a more expensive Vette base vette!? I never for one bit thought GM would make a 500Hp+ Z28.................... The best you will get is a SS model with almost as much HP as a Base Vette! |
