If anybody pays over MSRP for a Camaro they are a moron.
How many times does dealer Scotty have to say he will sell at MSRP or less?
I would have no problem buying from an out of town dealer if my local guy tries that ADM shit.

that's awesome seeing those videos on youtube of the GTO spanking the challengers, chargers and mustangs every time. Can't wait for the Camaro to do the same, except by 3 or 4 times as much!

Why would you think it would be able to do "3 or 4 times as much"? 22HP at the flywheel over an '05-'06 GTO is not going to net you that much at all, and the Camaro SS looks to weigh in more than a GTO. At least more than my 2006 M6 GTO did. (3750lbs).

You will see thousands of people doing that very thing just to be one of the first to put one in their driveway. And you will be hard pressed to find any dealer offering one the first 6 months of production without a markup. I'm not saying there won't be folks getting them at MSRP during that time, but they will be the rare exception, not the rule.

LOL I highly doubt that, weighting 3900+ lbs and only 22hp more probably will do worst than the GTO.

$30,000 for a vette?? No way for an 08..

You can get a used 2004 Vette for around $30,000...

I'll take some too--I can't remember the last time I've seen a NEW Corvette for $30K.

This actually raises a good point--how come we haven't seen much, if any, comparison of the new Camaro SS to the Pontiac GTO? Seeing as it is right there with the Challenger, Charger, Cobras, and the new Camaro. Maybe since it's OUT of production.

Correct me if I am wrong but hasn't it been out of production already?
