I totally appreciate your responses. See here is the thing. I am a car nut by heart. PERIOD.

I have owed a 1997 special additoin Z28 already but sold it when I could no longer stand it in the NJ winters as an only car (couldn't afford 2). Have I regretted it ..... almost everyday since. I love the camaro and have had more personal history with it then the corvette line.

With that said my Father owned a 1991 L98 and then 1994 vert Lt1 corvette. I drove those both bought new and fell in love BEFORE I ever even got my camaro. I have since owned a 1968 GTO covert with a 400 ci as well. So I am a true muscle guy.

I sold the GTO for $ back in 2002 and have regretted that too since it would now be worth over 30k and I now have the money to treat it right....

Anyway I digress....

I love the look of the new camaro on the web. I never got to the auto show so I have not seen even the prototype in person. If when it comes out it looks anything like the pictures are showing I know I will love it.

If I can settle for the SS version then it would also save me a bundle over a vette but it just wouldn't be the performance machine of a vette. I just got to drive in a 2008 LS3 6 speed vette and it is INSANE!

I know you could aftermarket anything and get it to vette potential but after my current subaru legacy GT and working it to over 320 hp at the wheels it makes me realize that it still isn't in the same league. I just hope that the camaro actually performs!

The new colbalt SS is good hope though. 260 HP 5.7 0-60 14 flat qtr mile for 22k. Also holds .90 g's.

I guess only time will tell but I am going to have to wait a while for the Z28 to come out or maybe see how the new CTSV does and use those figures to compare....

Right now they are giving vettes away for invoice and I can see the camaros getting MSRP. I will never pay MSRP for a car, it is against my religion lol so hopefully the initial push will happen and they will flood the streets, after that it should come down. I also have GM supplier from my company if a dealer would even take it....
