tune/intake/exhaust. down rated? many factors can go into the difference of HP rating. so who's to say that if you put the two on a dyno they won't put down close/same numbers?

respectfully disagree. if it were that price gm would not sell 80k-100k cars a year. loaded 33k-35k for the RS/SS. and 26k for a loaded RS LT V-6.

i think you are on drugs 22k for a rs/ss my wifes impala cost more than that and it's Not an ss 38 to 40 is what they will go for with out mark up. do any of you pay attention? they are going to price them close to mustangs and chally's get off the low 30's and high 20's kick and come back to earth. or start giving whatever it is that you are smoking to the people at gm!!

challenger if I'm not mistaken comes starts at 19,999 or 21. . .not sure (for the V-6) and the V-8 starts at 29,900. the only challenger that's stupid high is the SRT8 and it's 39,800.

base GT mustang comes in at what is it ummm 26,650. . .wow that's way off. and a loaded mustang comes in around 30. so to take a wild guess we aren't that far off if we say a V-6 comes in around 22-24 and a V-8 below 30k.

and if you read the thread then you'd know they were joking about 22k for the RS/SS. before you start accusing people of breaking laws.

last i knew the chally was v-8 only you are thinking of the charger. different cars!!

camaros and vettes · 08-19-2008, 01:15 PM

yes a v-8 lt will be close to 30 but not a loaded rs/ss v8

Nice post without whacking someone over not reading all of the information on the Challenger.

I guess we will just have to wait and see what the actual pricing is. FBODFATHER has clearly stated it will be competitive in its class.

I fully understand why it may be priced higher than the Mustang. It is a somewhat more technologically advanced vehicle. I just hope it is affordable and in my price range. (HINT- Keep the SS around $30k!)

Jinx · 08-19-2008, 05:00 PM

My opinion on pricing, and the what I think is logicial in pricing:

Mustang V6 < Camaro LS < Challenger SE

Mustang V6 loaded < Camaro LT/RS > Challenger SE loaded

Mustang GT < Camaro SS1 < Challenger R/T

Mustang GT Premium < Camaro SS2/RS = Challenger R/T Classic

I'm not trying to be rude to anyone here....I'm just saying that if you're going to start the pricing, aim lower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suspect that the people at GM have a bit more sophisticated approach to determining pricing than to look up on all of the Camaro enthusiest forums and see what people are posting as their "max".

Anyone that expects a fully optioned Camaro to come in at $30k is going to be very disappointed IMHO. The only thing that is certain is that it will be very competitive with the Mustang and Challenger.

RS\SS will be around 32kish, the only way there will be a 40k SS is if you wait until the 2011's come out and get nav,hud,factory ground effects kit and spoiler(as seen on the red car) some SE wheels. If the SS is 40K it will last as long as a tank of gas in a Ha ha Hemi.

I think the g8 is over priced...Good looking car.

headpunter · 08-24-2008, 10:25 AM

i drove a fully optioned g8 gt (l76) with 370(ish) hp and it had a lot of get up and go. and it was priced at 31k. fair i think to exchange back seat for IRS....
