• It is probably an automatic. This increases the overall cost by about $1k.
• It will not contain the RS package since Bumblebee had halogen lights.
• It will have a spoiler. This increases the overall value.
• The paint will match Bumblebee. We've come to the conclusion that this is very expensive, perhaps upwards of $10k.
• The stripes are painted black. Black is evidently not an option, so that is a custom job, raising the cost of the car.
• The interior may feature components that are only specific to the Bumblebee theme, raising the value of the car. This may include Autobot logos or some special stitching on the interior.
• The performance of this car may be higher than a standard Camaro of its level due to GMPP or other aftermarket components, raising the cost and value of the car.
• Pricing is based upon what the Camaro is expected to cost in 2009. This may determine some of the features of the Bumblebee Camaro because it puts a ceiling on how many features Bumblebee could have.
You know a lot more about this car than I do and it all sounds awesome, but you said it will have a v6, I don't think this will be as fun as a v8
