I worry about the gouging issue as well. But there will be other muscle cars on the market that GM has to compete for market share with like the Mustang and Challenger. For the last 5+ years, the muscle car market has been a one car market (Mustang), thus people are forced to pay above sticker for the new Stangs and Shelby GT500s. That's only precedent. If the Camaro comes out as originally scheduled in '09 (my guess is sooner), they have to compete with the Stang and Challenger. Die hard, true blue Camaro guys are a smaller market than the average joe who just wants a sporty car and has no brand loyalty. Its the average non-commital people that GM has to sell the car to to make money. Maybe the gouging will be minimal. One things for sure, Ford won't be able to gouge folks for Mustangs and Shelby GT500s much longer.
