Yeah, I think we all got a handle on that This is all just fun speculation mixed with wishful thinking...

I dont know HOW much the Z28 will be, but I do know I have 12,000 and counting for the Down Payment :P The lower my car payments the better haha...but I would buy the 5th gen camaro if it was 70,000...I fell in love...I dont care if someone handed me an Enzo, I would sell it for this Camaro...and a house...and probably a 64 Impala...but you get the point

[Mindz]

I would do the same, unless it was one of the cars listed on my dream car post. =P

$4400??? My God, what do you have, an accident every month?

NJ has some of the highest auto insurance rates, but even I've never had anything that high.

Thank goodness for my sub $1000 insurance now...

"2008 Chevrolet Camaro Prices: Expect Camaro coupes to start around $25,000 with the V-6, with top-of-the-line V-8 convertible versions breaking $40,000 fully equipped."-consumers guide

just read that in the consumers guide. so heres the new question how much more does a convertable typically cost?

I just built two corvettes fully loaded at the chevy site. the convertable came to 66,495 and the coupe was 57,550. so theres bout a 9K differance from coupe to vert

[The_Stache]

The cost for the vert option on the mustang is like 4-5k. I would assume this cost would go up with the engineering costs (ie corvettes weight, ect..)

Oh and Consumers Guide is dead wrong and just tossing out numbers, at those prices the camaro wont sell. Mustangs biggest seller is the base v6 coupe for roughly 20k, 5k more for a base v6 camaro coupe regardless of hp will be its death. People will buy something else based on the money alone.

they said that it was the 250hp v6, Id assume that the gas friendly v6 would be closer to 20K

I'd say that the 250HP V-6 is the gas friendly one....

GM already produces a 6-cylinder that kicks out 302 HP. The inline 5-cylinder that they were using (don't know if they still are or not) in the smaller trucks, Trailblazers, and Envoys was putting out 275 (they're terrible on gas mileage though...I get almost the mileage in my Tahoe with the 5.3L V-8).

A base V-6 will have to start around $20K and climb from there, depending on options. I'd say you'll get the big V-8 model fully loaded for around $40K. The "special" version, probably a year after the coupe comes out, will get up in the $45-$55K range (depending on options).

In somewhat related news, I just read today that MT got their pricing wrong on the GT500KR (cover story a month or so ago)....the actual pricing will put a GT500KR well over $60K....can you imagine paying over $60K for a Mustang that isn't a vintage, mint condition, collectors car?

if they would have released the damn thing as a 40th ann. 2007 model, they could be making donkey buttloads of money and we could all have our own 5th gens NOW!!


what is bad business, is waiting for as long as they did to release the car!

[Bait8]

Does the car have to be released in order to actually find out what they will cost or will they announce the price prior to release of the car on the market.

Exaclty what I was thinking. Straigt from Lutz's mouth: he said that the Coupe V6 should start around 21,000. Consumer guide is...I'm not sure.
And to put it frankly, if the Camaro that I want - and I don't want a monster, I've said that already - if the camaro I want comes in to be over 32000, I'm buying a Vette!

[TFord]

thats a good question...hell I dont even know officially when they begin sales for the 5th gen f-body

4400 canadian, so 10% less for american dollars and that is the norm in this province for "young guys". plus i did roll a car once, to much ice.
