Two things I should have mentioned:

1.) I sold the 66 Mustang (which I put a fuel injected 5.0 Cobra, T5 5spd. in) right before the economy tanked in order to purchase a home for my wife and I (newly wed in Oct. 08). So, I don't have that any more. :-(

2.) The Mustang is paid off in full, but I cannot afford to take on a monster car payment again. So, the only way I could get the Camaro is if I traded in the new Mustang.....or wait 5-10 years to get a used one, but by then we may have kids, other expenditures and I may never get one in great shape.

So, with this new info, any further thoughts? My biggest question is "is the RS package worth the money...?" I ask this because I can get an SS without that package, still have the wheels, spoiler, and gage pack. Biggest loss would be the HID halos and "sinister" taillamps, but to me I am not sure they are necessary. Is there really a BIG difference between the taillamps?

I love the Cyber Gray color with silver stripes, but I am having a hard time deciding if I could own this car in anything but Yellow with the Black Stripes (insert obvious Bumblebee reference here).

Another question is...."is the SS worth the dough?" I've heard that the V8 is very quiet but powerful. I've heard that the V6 cannot be beat and is the most impressive piece about the new Camaro. Still dancing between low options V8 vs. "pimped" out V6. Ugh. All this thinking and I have not even driven one yet.
i don’t know why GM decided to make the Colored ditch molding a RS feature and not something that is just normal on the car. i have seen some of the camaros without the colored molding and it doesn’t look good. especially on bright colors. so in my opinion i would get the RS package.
