Let me follow that by stating I am a Camaro enthusiast, and do not intend to complain or slam GM in any way with this post. The car is absolutely stunning so far!

My concern:

We've been told that this car will be priced comparable to the Mustang. I was very optimistic that I could pick up a V8 for at or near 30G, regardless if it was "top dog" or not.

Do you think GM is going to price the 300 HP V6 with the Mustang GT? And the SS with the GT500 range. Call me crazy, I just think a 422 HP machine will be a lil more than 30G. Like maybe the in the 40G range.

I intended on buying a V8 and still hope to do so, however 40,000 is a lil over my price range. I will say a 300HP V6 with a 6 speed and an RS package is something to think about, but is 30G a lil much for a V6? And will you lose street cred running around in a V6 with the LS3 also on the streets?

I love this new camaro and fully intend to order one as soon as we can. I just hope Chevy realizes that when this car hits the roads, they will have competiton in the price dept. Something Ford didnt have when the new Stang hit the streets....

Worse case scenerio, I'llbe looking for a 2002 SLP SS in Sunburst Orange Metallic, but I'm not throwing in the towel on ordering a 5th gen.

And i WILL NOT defunct to another manufacturer...

Oh yeah,

Thanks Team Camaro! Job well done!

Rest assured -- it will be apples to apples --

This car will be amazingly affordable -- esp. when you realize what comes standard with the car-- and the comfort in driving it day in and day out......
