What exactly are the options going to be and guess on price???? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I found Dodges trick in the SE price. It's got no ABS, Traction and ESC.

Your looking at base price of $25,000 to get it. Well it's not a trick but gives you the "loss leader" illusion that your getting a state of the art old school style coupe.

Well, I began reading and thought someone was on track until I got to the 28 for a fully loaded part and I then thought.....nope...gonna be way higher than 28K for a fully loaded SS/RS.

All good though. Just remember what Scott keeps on saying! Competitively priced w/ the Mustang. And, we have members that were picking up GT's for less than 25k, right??????? So? Might have been with a pretty good deal, but ....we'll just wait and see. I have faith.

Talk to your dealer and see what the deposit rules are there.

I talked to my dealer today and if i did want to reserve a spot, they would put my name and what I wanted down with a $500 deposit that WOULD go toward the new vehicle at the time of purchase.

Everyone needs to do this. Did you also check to see if this deposit was refundable? That is very important in case you ultimately decide that the Camaro is not for you.

It's okay. It's not supposed to make sense, I guess -- it's certainly mind-boggling, for sure.

Because of all the points you made; GM could rape us for the SS like Dodge did to their SRT buyers. But they're not...mostly because they want to continue selling Camaros. And in order to continue selling; it has to be competitive with a Mustang. That's it - end of reasoning.

"Competitively priced with a comparably equipped Mustang" would relate strictly to MSRP pricing, and not after any deals and factory incentives that may be temporarily in effect. The S197 Mustang is in its fifth year of production and several deals are currently available, including extra discounts to move '08 stock in dealers' inventories. There will be no factory incentives on the Camaro for the first two years at least, unless sales of the new Camaro totally flop. Perhaps you want that, so you can get your good deal?

And the Mustang GT base MSRP would still not be a straightforward comparison, because the base Mustang GT is not comparably equipped with the base Camaro SS. Mustang GT comes with 17" wheels standard (18" rims are optional at extra cost and 20" rims are not even available). Mustang GT comes with 5-speed manual trans (6-speed manual costs hundreds more and, while standard on the GT500, is not even an option on the Mustang GT). And the Camaro has other things not available on the Mustang at all, such as independent rear suspension.

SS/RS LS3 manual with all options except the "Stick out of the roof sunroof"

My guess??? $38K.

Look at it this way....we've all interpreted the comment "competitively priced" a little differently.

But here's the facts; the Mustang with ALL options and packages that I could squeeze on it -- except the glass roof and any accessories -- topped out at $33,415. Bump that to $34,200 for the Camaro...which, imo, is within the "competitive" range....and that should be the highest --or darn near close-- that an SS can be priced at and remain "competitive". A fully loaded 2SS/RS Camaro should not exceed $35,000, and a 1SS should not be more than 30k.

That's what I'm sticking to till I'm proven wrong by that whole "frozen-hell" thing.
