I agree with casuall and his reasoning explanation -
The reasoning dragon is not previous cost analysis because we have been told it will compete with the mustang, if you check the mustang you notice a few things.. you get 2 engine choices (if you don't include the gt500 which i don't because its a limited production hey look at what we can do type thing) coupe pricing for baseline v6 210hp @ $20k-$22k - 2 trims base and deluxe v8(gt) 300hp @ $26k-$28k - 2 trims base and deluxe v8 gt500 500hp @ 42k - 1 trim limited production camaro probability to fall in line V6 3.9L 250 HP @ $21k - comparable to stang v6 base trim (cam more hp) V6 3.6L 300 HP @ $25k - comparable to stang v6 deluxe trim (cam alot more hp but price bump) V8 6.0L 368 HP @ $29k (L76) - comparable to stang v8 base ( cam more hp) V8 6.2L 450 HP @ $35k (LS3) - comparable to stang v8 deluxe (cam alot more hp but big price bump) V8 6.2Ls/c 550 HP @ $42k (Blown LS3) - comparable to gt500 (cam more hp) when compared side by side.. camaro is clear winner, if you get base trim levels (assuming comparable options) you pay the same but get more hp. When you hit the price bump you get major hp upgrade but you pay for it( and probably bundled options hud/nav/bluetooth/ect..) again personally i don't like it if it goes this way but we will have to see for official word |

First off, you are very right.... We seem to get very emotional when it comes to discussing price, and the thought of a 35k+ Camaro really sets some people (certainly myself included) off. I think this really shows how much passion this car elicits though. I mean, just the thought of not being able to afford it really gets us going!

Very streetable, look what the LS7 Corvette is getting for mileage. As far as those prices that were posted, they are just what someone figures those packages would be selling for. As far as I am concerned, it is all guess work. as I stated before, the Ls2 6.0L is 405 hp. not 368hp. I am even thinking of putting one of the new engines in my 67 SS350 which is a pig on gas now. If I update the drivetrain, I will be far better off than I am now as far as mileage and performance are concerned. I think the new Camaro will have the hp. and prices to suit everyones' needs. |

i like the sound of 400-450 horses. alot more then the last production camaro. u figure the 2006 goat was at i believe 400 horses on the ls2. so its gotta be at least at that figure or above. this is sounding good to me. could you imagine if they drop the ls7 with the supercharger that they are putting in the blue devil vette.

I thought I read somewhere that the LS7 can't run a s/c because it is already running such high compression.... |

I guess that means there may be a new engine with a SC, I guess that is a possibility...

My question is, do you guys think that GMs response to the whole CAFE regulations and Bush's proposal to cut back oil consumption will affect the engine line-up at all from what we had originally proposed. All of the sudden that 5.3L is looking better and better for GM.
