I had to get out and look at it, it was beautiful haha but the sticker was $67,XXX so after taxes etc your looking at well over $70k and that's just too much for me. (keep in mind I live in canada, so the $'s in CDN)
honestly I think the 2011 GT is very nice, and had it been out when I was looking to buy my Camaro I would have had a much more difficult decision. That said, I don't regret my Camaro choice at all.
What kills me is that this z-28 is going to come out and be priced to compete with the Shelby. so it'll be about 70k. By that time I'll likely have supercharged my 1SS and have similar (or more) power an only be 50k deep. Just don't see the appeal to these cars when you can get the similar output for less money upgrading the base models. The same can be said for the shelby. It's beautiful, but i just can't justify the extra cash.

Just keep in mind with the Shelby, unlike the SS, it is designed to have boost, better internals, etc, whereas to really get that level from the Camaro you would have to spend decent $$$$ just to match that and then not have a warrantly like the Shelby.
