electronics package $1060
stereo upgrade (w/out nav) $535
Comes to about $36k
The mustang is a little harder to compare but I built one and came to about $33k, sort of similar to a mostly loaded camaro or challenger. Leather seats, decent stereo, electronic and appearance upgrades, 18" rims.
And here comes one more pointless guess, but I will do it anyway:
I think the base price is really key for advertising purposes, and seeing as how the SS comes with 20" painted rims, limited slip standard, and based on the prices I saw in the market survey, I think the camaro should be priced about like this:
Base auto 1SS $29495
manual trans/ls3 $995
2SS trim:leather seats, better stereo, wireless connectivity, and some more
$3000
RS: polished rims, hid lights: $1500 (on SS model)
Comes to about $35k almost fully loaded.
I am certainly hoping for lower but I think that would be reasonable. I don't think they can offer as stripped down a V8 version as Ford does with all the things they are saying standard but who knows.

I tend to agree with your possible pricing guesses.
I priced a Mustang GT and it came to about $35,000 and a Challenger RT as just shy of $38,000.
If the Camaro is between them for what I want, then I'm good to go.
