Couldn't resist - cancelled my Camaro order today - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I hope I don't regret it, but I did stay with Chevy. Got a new 08 Convertible Vette 3LT Black/Black. MSRP was $64,700 .... bought it for 51,500 with 0% financing for 60 months. At the end of the day, my out of pocket between the 2SS/RS i had on order and this car is only $5k more with a difference of $24k in the MSRP.

I am sure I will wish I had a Camaro when then arrive, but this seemed like too good of a deal to pass up.

I will resist the obligatory 'This thread is wortheless without pics' smiley but we'll be wanting to check it out.

Definately understandable. Good job.

Just get used to enjoying the look of 4 round tail lights.

And there will be way more Camaros on the roads then Corvettes in a couple of years.

I love my four round taillights!

ArcAngel · 02-04-2009, 02:46 PM

Thats all fine and well TOMSERVO!! In my opinion more heads will turn at my Camaro then will at the vette. It is what I believe and how I feel besides It wont be that much faster. As of know a stock vette does 0-60 in 4.3-4.4. Maro will do 4.6-4.5 so maybe by a nose buddy

ArcAngel · 02-04-2009, 02:47 PM

Bro in NJ all you see is vettes crap my 27 year old brother and 3 of his friends have em

That's a great price for sure, congrat's. My wife has the 08 coupe, wanted the convertible, but last year they were way closer to msrp. Hope you stick around to share the Camaro love.

moog5050 · 02-04-2009, 02:49 PM

I agree that the Camaros will be unique. Time will tell whether they are unique forever or for a brief period of time. Either way, I am sure they will be great cars.

Still, this was too hard for me to resist, especially because I really wanted a convertible, but wasn't going to wait until 2011. I'll get photos up when I have it in hand. Have a 6 hour ride to pick it up.

I will learn to live with the round tailights and no ABL, but HUD and navigation help.

mwoodengr · 02-04-2009, 02:50 PM

The original post states that the difference in cost is only $5k, that would put the 2SS at $46,500????? I don't see how you can get an SS much over $40k w/ every option. What am I missing?

But regardless, enjoy the new car.
