1.
"rust-proofing" I recall when I was younger, my Dad always got his cars rust proofed at the time he bought the car. But, I do not believe today's car receive "rust proofing" in the same sense that the dealer applies a black, "tar like" substance to the undercarriage. I believe todays cars are treated prior to painting for protection.
Personally, I've never had it done to any of my cars, and I've never had a problem.

extended warranty Not a bad idea, provided when included in your car payments, you're able to afford it. Also, if you plan on buying the Camaro in it's first year, you may choose to extend the warranty. My Dad always avoided new cars in their first year.
(I'm not saying there will be any 1st yr. quality issues, nor am I doubting the quality of the new Camaro.) Also, with the price of dealer labor, an extended warranty may be cheaper in the end.

dealer gimmicks Best advice, TAKE YOUR TIME! Shop different dealers. I'm not saying all dealers are "out to get you", but some salespeople may try to sell you "things" you don't really need. Also, use the internet when the time comes to buy your Camaro.
