I agree it's no debate, nothing is even instone about the new camaro, first year cars get mark up have gremlins often cost a ton more.

Think about it a base v8 will be around 27 is the rumor, 27k is almost enough for a c5z06...

But really for what you want you need to say what matters more to you.

Honestly going with a cheap(er) tried and true is never a bad idea.

09s too far away for me.. if i were u i'de maybe go for a C5.. not one of the options.. but that's what I'de do. I wouldnt wait YEARS to get the camaro though. Whatever suits you, I'm too ansty to do that.

You have to find a SOM trans am though, as they are getting harder to find, at least up here anyway. Find a SOM formula, that would be sweet.....

I say skip both ideas. If you wanna wait til 09, just save up and get a c6 z06. If not, I'd go with the som t/a, but you better start looking for some now.

Id say wait out the first year if you wanted a new Camaro. Just to make sure you dont get screwed over like the GTO guys did.

My advice though..save money buy the T/A, and used left over $ for mods.
