Just remember all the positive press and praise the G8 got. How well did that go over?

Because my Camaro doesn't have any of that nice interior. Soft touch plastics, Nav, all the blind zone alerts, etc etc.

I realize apples to oranges, but still Im guessing its closer to a 5k actual difference for a Stingray. Im just saying man.

There is a history that was lost when the Camaro was gone. Its looks were considered out of this world (not what most people are saying about the SS) when shown to the world. Big difference man.
