I am not here to bash the Camaro...I love the car and I want POWER just like everyone else...but POWER cost money.
Everyone is talking about the Shelby GT500 and "what will the Camaro do to beat it". Well the GT500 puts out 500hp and the 2008 GT500KR puts out 540hp. Yes the internet is wonderful!!! But now lets talk reality.
You know how much they will cost? Just an "Estimate" is $52,000 for the 2008 GT500KR and my buddy sitting next to me at work said he went to a Ford dealer here in California (bought a new truck) and witnessed a guy pay $62,000 Cash for a fully loaded 2007 GT500 version. MSRP doesn't mean SHIZNIT...I saw the stupid Toyota Prius going for 35,000+ easy when they first came out...supposed to be an MSRP of 25-27.
You get your hands on a 500+ HP Camaro for under $50,000 and you can most likely sell Holy Water to the Pope. The Camaro Convertible SS or Z28 will go for around 34-38,000.
A P.O.S. 300hp Mustang GT fully loaded already pushes 30-32,000 (yes I built it at Ford.com).
Lastly: Watch any Fast and Furious movie...it may have you rethink who Ford and Chevy cars are competing with. If any of you have the DISH Network...they have a channel called SPEED...I suggest you watch that too and familiarize yourself with a sport called Drifting (that GM thought they could break in to) and an organization called NOPI. Oh and TUNERVISION...
When GM and Ford were building Camaro's and Mustangs...everyone was buying Honda Civic SI's and shortbed Nissan/Toyota trucks and lowering them to the deck and stuffing them full of speakers...That's reality!!!
I agree...We will see.
