The SS will be priced between $38-42K. I have also heard that the SS will be in limited supply so expect to see a nice $10-20k tax on top of the MSRP (ie the Shelby).

I for one am not going to shell out another 10-14k to get the 6.0 (even at MSRP!). I am COMPLETELY satisfied with a well tuned 5.7 liter engine pushing my Camaro down the horizon...more power to those out there willing to buy a $40k Camaro (literally); but I'd rather spend the $28k and put the money into exhaust and wheels. Plus...I think too many people have put the emphasis of speed on the CAR and not the skill of the DRIVER!

Cheers to all; I really enjoy this forum!

The LS2 6.0L will be phased out and replaced with the LS3 6.2L. Now the LSA, that is a whole other ballgame !
