Yes, I am aware. In my exercise, I was simply comparing the price of a fully optioned representative of both cars in manual form (and also the one's offering the most horsepower available).
You can find GT500's at MSRP all day long in this day and age. Just like there are dealers that ask over MSRP on a GT500, so too will there be dealers that ask over MSRP on the SS Camaro.
Besides, we weren't talking about bang-for-the-buck anyway. The discussion was about the fact that GM does not offer a direct competitor to the GT500. I agree with everyone on this board that believes GM offers a better overall package in the new Camaro than Ford does with the Mustang.
I guess I can chalk you up as one of those people that can't stand the idea that Ford has a leg up on GM (and Chrysler) in the as-delivered-from-the-factory ponycar wars.

Well, once we actually have those numbers, we can do that until we're blue in the face, but since we don't have any factual numbers on the production Camaro's available yet, it would be an exercise in futility.
