Well, if I was an internet gambler, I'd gladly take your money, Hobbsie, but Mama said I shouldn't...

Do you think a Base SS Gen-6 Camaro is going to sell for Vette money? REALLY? If so, you're NOT depressed with all this, you're suicidal!

If SS Camaros, well equipped (2SS?), sell for $40ish ($15K+ LESS than a Base Vette), what will a ZL1 sell for? $15K under a Z06, depending? EQUALLY FEATURED! Maybe $20 less...
The Mustang GT increased less than $2k.

Never said the GT drive train would handle the GT500 engine. It's called a reference point. If the GT increased less than $2k, what makes you think the GT500 would increase $15k?

Never said the SS would be in Corvette territory.


Also, the GT500 is on the same tires as the ZL1 and 1LE. Do you still consider those Pep Boy Tires?
