The Camaro was gone for some 7 model years. Yes, gone. Finished. No option. Mustangs abound.
Then a glimmer of hope for the Chevy faithful came in 2006.
Then it came in mid 2009 and it did not disappoint.
Then a model and or option list to meet the needs of all was formed.
A 300+ hp V6. Several SS flavors, including an RS package, HUD. Then a Z that turned out to be the ZL1, what a car that is. Then a 1LE option for SS, what an amazing bang for the buck option that is. Then a restyled front and rear that is really nice. Oh yeah, Ricaro seats.
Then the return of a legendary model, engineered true to its heritage. Yes, it's expensive, as it should be. Take an economics class, it makes sense. High feature, highly engineered, exotic components, low volume, race car.
Do we the Chevrolet Camaro enthusiast faithful really have any footing from which to complain? If you find yourself complaining about this price, check yourself. I think the return of the Camaro through the 5th Gen platform has been a smashing success. I don't think that we could have hoped for it to be any better.
I really can't wait to see what the next platform has to offer, because this one has been incredible.

I agree with this.
