Well, no but he said he paid over 40k for his Camaro (loaded I take it, it is not automatically 34k everytime somebody buys one of these things).

But that extra 6k doesn't get you extra performance, it gets you luxury stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no GM apologist, I tried my hardest to talk my dad out of an Impala 2 weeks ago. It's just that I think this is an unfair fight. It's like Floyd Mayweather Jr. trying to take on a heavy weight champ. Not that the Camaro is the best car pound for pound, but it's arguably the best in its class.

If you just wanted the performance stuff why not just spend the 31k on the 1SS, isn't the 34k for the 2SS just extra luxury stuff? Lets be realistic here, who is only ordering base model Camaros anyways? From what I am seeing most are being sold with the "luxury stuff" so the 34k is hardly a correct estimate

The 370z / 135i / Evo X / Camaro SS / A4 are the best in the 30-40k price bracket.

The GT500 is in a different price bracket.

Said stuff not puff. 34k after tax and title is about right.

Dont forget the new STi that runs around 13.4 in the quarter...

I think once you hit 1500 miles and get the oil changed, you'll feel the difference. Plus for not a lot of money (under $5K) you can do the basic 3...exhaust, tune and intake.

From the price you listed I'd say you are running 21 inch wheels too...that will make the car a bit slower for sure. But even with them and the $5K spent, you'll enjoy the ride!

i own srt 8 challenger and 2005 viper truck lots of mods u cant compare these 50k plus cars and 500hp to the new camero its just not fair. ps i have 2010 rjt 2ltssrs auto and it will hang with both of my dodges. not branded to any one name i like muscle cars all of them.

agreed. i always thought that dual clutchs were found in top end performance cars, to give you the true manual flappy paddle gear box, but still have an automatic mode. The things that are found in Ferraris and Lamborghinis

Seems like you have no issues with cash, why don't you just supercharge it?

Why are you comparing these?

I'll have to remember to buy a Camaro off the forums, that's the only place that you could find them for that price.
