I have a point to add to this GTO v. Camaro comparison.
Look at the GTO I built, (this info right off of the pontiac website).

Subtract the $1300 gas guzzler tax - we
KNOW the Camaro won't be dealing with that.
So we're at about $32,000, now.
Now, take into consideration that the GTO was a (generally speaking) limited-run Car.
I think Camaro can be easily priced below 30,000...
Off topic, a little, but - I thought it was worth putting in since we were comparing the 2.
BTW, Pontiac
tends to be a little more pricey than chevy anyways...
Oh, and I completely agree with the above by Jester.
