I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but this is where my opinionated - ness takes its toll: I really don't think the prices or engines are remotely close.... I know I'm no professional, but I just can't see that "appealing to the Younger generation"....not at all.

I've done some research on the Camaros of the past. And between that and some of the hints GM has released, I have come to the following conclusions:

1) There can't be too many engine choices. That will just add to price. From what I understand price is already becoming an issue.

2) Chevrolet is supposedly taking it easy on the whole SS deal. And in 2002, the most recent year of the Camaro, SS was only a package - not whole different trim line as of late. So I doubt a completely different engine is in store for an "SS'

3) And the pricing guesstimates seem sooooo out in left field to me, the Z28 in 2002 only cost around 23000, now I know inflation takes its toll but not to 29000 - ish!!.

4) We know there will be 2 different V6's but I don't think there will be that big of a difference in price between the 2. One is supposed to be fuel - friendly, and the other is supposed to be Powerful.

5) To guess which engines are going to be put into the Camaro is kind of funny, because it's still some 1 to 2 years before the Car comes out. A better guessing game might be price(that's just me, ignore it if you will)

I see it this way plus or minus $1 or $2 thousand (it may be more hope speaking then anything, but I will stick by this list until the car comes out).

A weak little V6 that is decent, but nothing special : $21,000

A speedy little V6 that puts a smile on your face, but it still feels like a V6 : $22,500-$24,000

Then I see Z28 possibly the LS3 if nothing new comes out -detuned a little(or not): $27,000

And an SS performance/appearance package that gives the LS3 or whatever it is a little extra oomf. $2,000 -$3,500
