Base v6 model 22,000. Other models have not been priced yet.

Congoman775 · 09-03-2008, 08:32 PM

Ive seen that a few different places... im starting to belive it.

thanks for the tip!!

ShnOmac · 09-03-2008, 08:37 PM

I wouldnt read to much into it unless we can find out who the authors sources are.

ucla1ove3 · 09-03-2008, 08:37 PM

i hope it comes in at 21 but i kinda doubt it. 21 would be great for me.. to save money for insurance...

ShnOmac · 09-03-2008, 08:52 PM

Just sent a Email to the author. Maybe he will share his source with us! If not its on

fbird777 · 09-03-2008, 09:01 PM

22k sounds about right, now if only the SS starts at 28k.

2010_5thgen · 09-03-2008, 09:04 PM

whats wrong with a 22k base price? my 99 camaro in 99 was 21,000 and it was a v6 with auto and that was pretty much it. so if it only went up 1,000 dollars in almost 10 years, thats not a bad deal at all. and its going to have a hell of alot better motor.

ShnOmac · 09-03-2008, 09:07 PM

22,000 sounds gooooood to me!

ljustin293 · 09-03-2008, 09:11 PM

I hope it starts at 22, the lower the v6 starts the lower the SS starts

Funny, I'd never heard of this publication before. But it came across my desk today at work with all the other newspapers I was locating for the inmates.

I saw the Camaro blurb/pic on the front page, but didn't get a chance to open the paper and read what it said.

ShnOmac · 09-03-2008, 09:16 PM

Its one of thos publications you would never hear of unless your in the military.

Or an inmate in a state prison apparently. LOL (JK, I assume he must have been in the military at some point before his incarceration.)

The_Beast_ · 09-03-2008, 10:24 PM

That would be everyone's dream come true.

ucla1ove3 · 09-03-2008, 10:39 PM

as long as i can make an LT RS in under 26,500 im happy. im not sure if this will happen. what do you guys think?

The_Beast_ · 09-03-2008, 10:56 PM

When do you plan on getting it?

16yearoldcamarodriver · 09-03-2008, 10:59 PM

If I do change my mind and get the V6, AWSOME!

ucla1ove3 · 09-03-2008, 11:00 PM

I am hoping for under $21 for the LS, and $24,000 for the LT/RS with HUD, Boston Acoustics, steering wheel controls... and under $27 for the SS,
with the SS/RS at $29,999 or less (with HUD. BA).
I AM hoping.

the other hand is empty.

I too hope the V6 starts that low. I want the V8 and if the V6 starts at 22k, it's all the more likely the SS will be around 30k which is where I want it to be.

I hate hate hate to say this, but that low price just seems too good to be true.

chadrcr · 09-04-2008, 12:43 AM

Must compete with Mustang.... in price. In performance... no need to stoop .......

*The_Blur* · 09-04-2008, 01:01 AM

This pricing looks like it is based on the Mustang Premium package. That means that a base SS will come in at $29k.

Vash · 09-04-2008, 01:03 AM

I doubt a base LS with steelies will be less than $22,000. But 22k sounds fair.

Challenger does it at that price but they strip out the brake control unit. Which leaves out ABS, ASR and ESC. All vital safety features for a modern vehicle.

The BASE LS has to start as low as the mustang, otherwise I wont buy one... Oh, I was not going to buy an LS, anyway

I would hope that GM will set the prices closer to Employee Pricing, and get away from having to 'offer' huge rebates and incentives, just price it right in the first place...
