And god I hated the wheels they are so die cast from the toy and hated them on the toys back then. SO they get to say hey its a hot wheels...give us another five grand and more.............For a appearance package with a little grounds effects. I know the 1le package is such a better deal and am disappointed in g.m. for making this cost so much. The color is nice, the badging and all yet it should have came with old school cragars you cannot find anywhere for that price.......ANd it would have made more impact for the price than the wheels even when I was a kid I said WTF too............ No one ever drove those style of rims on a car in back in the day, they were just what a plastic mold came in..........And you should have asked reason why people who could have bought one did not.....Price not worth it with the fugly wheels and no performance advantage.

I knew it wouldn't take long for a HW hater to show up and start talking smack.....thanks for coming! The rambling nature of your post, constant spelling and capitalization mistakes are an especially nice touch.

I agree, $7,000 does seem like a lot, until you option out a 2SS with comparable options to what is included on the HW. Total comes to just under $3,500 BEFORE you even add the ground effects, grill, or wheels.

And on the subject of wheels....different strokes for different folks dude. Personally, I don't care for the look of "old school cragars", expecially on modern cars. I DO like the wheels on the HW cars and think it's great they were able to capture the look of the old red stripe wheels of the early Hot Wheels I remember as a kid. Don't much care for them being 21" and wish they would have been 20", but oh well, I guess I'll worry about that when it's time for tires.

When I decided to get another Camaro I was debating between ordering a '14 1LE and the HW. The HW won out. To each his own.
