I'll try to keep my foot out of it like I'm having to do with my truck right now.
No offense but if you're spending that much on fuel a month, why would you even consider a muscle car? If your truck does 14 mpg, the Camaro is already better in mpg off the bat. If you're looking into even more gas savings.. wouldn't a hybrid be better or even the upcoming Volt in 2010? I know gas prices are high and for GM to try to help out with the 3.6 DI V6 and the possible 4 cyc Turbo is great.... but as someone stated in an earlier post... there's a sacrifice to be paid in buying a muscle car, gasoline being the villian of this story.

There is no LS2, already confirmed.
