I go away for a few days and this is what I miss.....

It sounds like the Camaro will have the Generation V engine, but I'm still curious about where that leaves the Vette. Having an LS3 out for only 2 years at the most doesn't seem right to me.

I also don't see a 2009 Vette having a generation IV LS3, while the new 2009 Camaro has a generation V small block V8. It just doesn't seem natural.

I'm still skeptical on the pricing, but I am the skeptical type to begin with. Maybe the very base "stripper" model of the V8 will be in the low $30ks but start adding leather seats, premium stereos, and the other doodads I see that number closing in on $40k real fast....but my motto with all these cars is that only time will tell.
